Pouch
Compression Tester
(Seal Integrity
/ Pouch Burst)
This is an
equipment to test the Seal Integrity / Seal Strength of liquid /
semi-solid filled pouches with or without gas / air, such as
shampoos / oil / tea leaves in pouches / wafers / chips packed
on FFS machines.
Significance:
When a
master carton fails due to compressive load in stacking /
warehousing, the palletized load gets transmitted to the
individual pouches. This load generates extra pressure inside
the filled pouches and can cause seal failure resulting in
leakage of liquid / solid / gas from failed seal joint.
It is desirable to know
the maximum load causing seal / seam failure in pouch.
This maximum load resulting into failure of weak seal is called Pouch Burst
Strength or Pouch Compression Strength.
Principle of loading:
-
Constant rate of Loading.
-
Constant rate of Travel.
Capacities Available :
Standard Range
: 300 Kg - 500 Kg.
Models available :
