New Range of Package Leak Testing Vacuum Chambers

Chambers within our ACBXX-PT-SS range were designed for package testing within the food and medical industries. For instance, each package leak testing chamber comes with a submerge plate, vacuum regulator and drainage valve. Additionally, these chambers are often situated in moist environments hence they are fitted with a corrosion resistant vacuum manifold, which is comprised of a vacuum isolation valve, air admittance valve and an AVE vacuum display gauge. The set up makes them perfect for water submersion bubble leak testing which determines leaks in flexible packaging.

To evacuate our ACBXX-PT-V systems, a 28.0” Hg Venturi Pump is used. These pumps take advantage of the venturi effect—as a stream of compressed air exits a constricted orifice the resulting pressure drop draws air through a vacuum port. Moreover, since they require no oil or electricity, the resulting vacuum (up to 29.5″ Hg) is clean and efficient. They are intrinsically safe due to possessing no moving parts or electrical hazards.

Our ACB chambers are compliant with ASTM D3078-02 and ISO 20484 testing standards and are tested to a vacuum of 5×10^-2mbar, and helium leak tested.
