Packaged Product Force Decay Leak Tester

A metallic Uson Qualipak 770 device against a black background. The cylindrical equipment features smooth edges and a central connector on top.

Single and Duel Flexible Package Test Chamber

Product Overview

The Qualipak 770 measures leaks in packaged products, using the principle of force decay. The package sample is placed on an infill, on top of a load cell, then sandwiched between the infill and top plate. The lid is closed and secured. A vacuum is applied causing the package to expand due to any gases remaining in the package.

This expansion creates a force on the load cell. Once the set vacuum or force level is reached, the chamber is isolated, the pack allowed to stabilize and any force change is detected with a sensitive load cell transducer. Any significant change in force decay is indicative of a leak. No significant change in force indicates a good package seal.

Benefits of the Qualipak 770:

  • Small bench footprint
  • Can accommodate many different sized packages
  • Wide compatibility
  • Simple operation load, start, pass / fail, unload, and repeat
  • Easily scalable
  • Can be used for testing foil trays

Description

The Qualitek 770 is based on the force decay test principle for flexible package testing.
The test principle is a vacuum applied to the chamber, which encourages the pack to inflate. The package infants until the control vacuum is achieved, creating a force onto the load cells. Once the control vacuum has been reached, the chamber is isolated for period of time to allow the package to stabilize. The force is then monitored for a decay. If the force decays at a rate greater than expected, the instrument fails (red light) the part. If the force does not decay then the instrument passes, Accepts (green light) the part.
