New Range of Package Leak Testing Vacuum Chambers

Package Leak Testing Vacuum Chambers (ACBXX-PT-SS Range) 

Our ACBXX-PT-SS range of vacuum chambers is specifically engineered for critical package leak testing applications within the food and medical industries. These robust systems are designed to perform reliable integrity testing in demanding environments.
 
Key Features for Food & Medical Use
Each chamber is optimized for efficient water submersion bubble leak testing to quickly identify leaks in flexible packaging. Key features include: 
  • Complete Testing Setup: Every unit includes a submerge plate, a precision vacuum regulator, and a drainage valve.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Designed for use in moist environments, all chambers feature a corrosion-resistant vacuum manifold comprising a vacuum isolation valve, air admittance valve, and an AVE vacuum display gauge.
Efficient Venturi Vacuum Systems (ACBXX-PT-V)
To evacuate our ACBXX-PT-V systems, we utilize a powerful 28.0” Hg Venturi pump. These pumps leverage the Venturi effect: a stream of compressed air exits a constricted orifice, creating a pressure drop that efficiently draws air through the vacuum port.   
 
Benefits of Venturi Pumps:  
  • Clean & Efficient: They require no oil or electricity, providing a clean and efficient vacuum up to 29.5″ Hg.
  • Intrinsically Safe: With no moving parts or electrical hazards, they are an intrinsically safe option for industrial use.  
Certified Quality & Compliance   
Our ACB chambers are built to the highest standards and rigorously tested:   
  • Industry Standards: The chambers comply with major testing standards, specifically ASTM D3078-02 and ISO 20484 for reliable performance.
  • Leak Tested: Every unit is tested to a vacuum of 5×10⁻²mbar and undergoes meticulous helium leak testing to guarantee integrity.
