Package Testing Systems

Vacuum package testing systems are used to evaluate the integrity of product packaging by detecting leaks, seal failures, or material weaknesses. Testing in a vacuum chamber environment helps identify issues related to material compatibility, sealing processes, and contamination that may compromise packaging performance. Applications span industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical or gas storage.

Key Features

• Supports destructive and non-destructive test methods
• Compatible with rigid and flexible packaging designs
• Clear acrylic chambers available for direct visual inspection
• Vacuum environments used to expose seal or material defects
• Test methods identify presence of leaks but do not quantify leak rate

Common Test Methods

• Dry Chamber Test – Sealed containers are held under vacuum, then vented and inspected for external liquid residue.
• Bubble (Immersion) Test – Packages are submerged under water inside a clear vacuum chamber; applied vacuum causes air bubbles to escape through leaks.

Custom Options

Custom package testing systems can be engineered with specialized chambers, controls, or accessories to meet unique application requirements.
