Pack-Vac® Electronic Controller with Altitude Simulation

For Leak Detection

The electronic controller is designed to streamline product packaging leak detection procedures on the production line and perform critical package integrity testing in the laboratory. The versatile features of the controller, from altitude simulation to a water level indicator, add extremely beneficial functions to the basic Pack-Vac® Leak Detector.

Quick Ramp Altitude Simulation
With the Quick Ramp Altitude Simulation, you can quickly determine how the package survives on a trip in an airplane or over the mountains. Simply program in the altitude, ramp up time, dwell time, and release time, then start the test. The Pack-Vac® package leak detector will run itself through the programmed instructions. At the end, the package integrity testing device can see if the packaging retains the integrity customers expect. Use the Pack-Vac® dry and place an entire case in to see if the restriction of the case together with the expansion of other packages inside the case creates leaks.

Table Program

The Table Program is designed for use on the production line. This tool is best used when testing for leaks and compromised seals in product packaging of different sizes or volumes. Product packages of different sizes or volumes require different vacuum levels and customers sometime report that leaks were not detected. This outcome is usually the result of incorrect vacuum levels. On a standard Pack-Vac®, the vacuum level needs to be adjusted each time a different product size is tested. When users don’t adjust the vacuum level correctly, leaks are not detected. The Table Program allows users to select the appropriate vacuum level with just the touch of a button. A programmable timer assures that the package gets the full inspection.

Data Logging

Data from tests can be downloaded via ethernet or SD memory card.
