Leak Test Apparatus is a solid-state instrument designed for the leakage testing of food, drug and other industrial chemical products. The instrument is used to test the quality of packing processes in strips, blisters and sachets containing tablets, granulates and liquids. They are also used to check that the seals enclosing the product are perfectly intact.

The Instrument has equipped with microcontroller based 4 digits seven segments bright red LED display. Soft-touch keys provide a convenient user interface.

The unit contains a polycarbonate desiccator housing to sustain the vacuum for a long time. A compact vacuum pump for creating a high vacuum level in a short time period is used. A vacuum gauge on the front panel of the instrument indicates the vacuum level. The vacuum gauge is connected to a control valve that isolates the vacuum inside desiccator from the vacuum source.

Test samples to be analyzed are placed into the polycarbonate desiccator housing. A vacuum pump generates a vacuum inside the desiccator. The vacuum generated is held for a pre-set time, and then released manually. The test samples being analyzed should retain their shape during this test, indicating the sealing is correct. Secondly, as the strip/bottles under test are immersed in a coloured dye solution (normally Methylene Blue). The venting of the desiccators will allow any holes to be penetrated by the dye and the contents of the flexible packaging will also be stained with the same colouring material.

Note: The instrument chassis is generally supplied in MS body with powder coating. In case, SS body is required, please mention specifically while ordering.
