Blister packaging leak tester
In pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring the integrity of blister packs is critical to prevent contamination and preserve product efficacy. Traditional visual inspections often fail to detect minute leaks, which can compromise the sterility and effectiveness of the product.
Performs methylene blue dye leak test
The VDT/S by ERWEKA is a vacuum leak tester specifically designed for blister packaging. The system utilizes a methylene blue dye test divided into several phases to ensure that even the smallest leaks are detected. During the pressure maintenance phase, the blisters are exposed to a vacuum within the container. The vacuum level and hold time are easily programmable using the symbol keypad, and actual values are displayed on an LED screen. The device can document test run parameters via a USB interface or connected printer, providing a detailed record of the test. The integrated vacuum pump can be recalibrated with the optional validation kit, ensuring accurate and reliable performance. Available container sizes range from 150 mm to 300 mm in diameter, accommodating various blister pack dimensions.
