General FAQ’s
What is a bubble test and how does it work?
A bubble test, also known as bubble emission testing or bubble leak testing, is a method used in the packaging industry to evaluate the integrity of sealed packages. This process involves submerging the package in water or a solution and observing for the formation of bubbles, indicating the presence of leaks. While a bubble test is relatively simple and cost-effective, one major downside is its limited sensitivity, as it may not detect very small leaks or those occurring in certain types of packaging materials. It also destroys your products, leading to product wastage. While effective for many applications, it may not be suitable for detecting all potential leaks, and maintaining an acceptable quality level.
How much Does leak detection save?
With non-destructive leak detection, you can achieve considerable savings. Leaking packages cause losses across the entire chain and could inflict significant damage to a brand’s image.
What is the most common leak detection method for food packaging?
The most common leak detection method is de vacuum decay test method, used to detect leaks in flexible and rigid packaging.
How do you solve leakage problems in food packaging?
You can use leak testers for process control, ensuring quality by identifying minor leaks in packaged food items. The leak tester results will help you solve leakage problems, which are usually the result of sealing issues.
