Witt Gas Techniques Ltd, the Warrington, Cheshire based
gas safety, control, mixing and analysis equipment supplier has launched
‘PACK-VAC’ a new, low cost, leak detection system that will
detect leaks in individual packages without the need for trace gases.
This new system uses only water and compressed air to detect any leaks.
It has been designed for use with most flexible and rigid packaging found
in the food production and pharmaceutical industries as well as other
industrial packaging. It is very portable and is available with 6 different
size chambers ranging from height 203mm x width 280mm x depth 203mm to
height 508mm x width 813mm x depth 660mm.
It is very easy to use – the package is placed in the chamber filled
with water and compressed air is applied at between 5 – 8 bar. The
immersed package inflates and any leak is detected by a stream of bubbles
The benefits of using ‘PACK-VAC’ include test times of around
30 seconds, no calibration of the equipment is required, no special skills
required to use the equipment, it is simple to maintain and has an easy
to clean Perspex housing, no electrical connections are required nor is
there a need for a vacuum pump.
Purpose built versions of ‘PACK-VAC’ to suit individual requirements
can be built to order and a range of accessories is also available.
‘PACK-VAC’ is an economic ‘beginners’ alternative
to the Company’s more advanced ‘LEAK-MASTER’, a micro-leak
detection system for finding leaks based on CO2 detection technology.
It too is portable and only takes a couple of seconds to detect a leak,
the test is non-destructive with the package being returned to the production
line.
With ‘LEAK-MASTER’ administration and analysis of data is
very simple through integration with quality management systems used in
pharmaceutical and food production. Leak-Master can be interfaced to a
PC or PDA via Ethernet or Wireless LAN, eliminating the need for manual
data recording.
