i-LEAKTEK 6600 Burst Testing of Flexible and Medical Package Seals

The breakage of flexible packages/pouches is one of the main factors influencing product packaging quality. Usually, breakage occurs in the following two situations: first, during filling process, the content would produce a heavy impact onto the bottoms of the pouches. If the bottoms can not withstand the impact, they would leak and hinder the filling efficiency as well as pollute the manufacturing environment. Second, during storage, if the pouches can not withstand the inner pressure increase caused by stack or other factors, they would also result in breakage and lead to content extinguishment and even pollution to the surrounding environment. How to solve the problem of breakage has been an obsession for the manufacturers. It’s usually believed that breakage has close relationship with heat-seal strength of the packaging materials, but such opinion is not completely correct.

i-LEAKTEK 6600 Burst Testing of Flexible and Medical Package Seals is for the expanding heat seal strength testing. Pressure should be increased inside the flexible package. The places with the worst strength can be found. Such places include, but are not limited to the heat seal places. Since expanding heat seal strength can not take the place of average heat seal strength, there is no relationship between expanding heat seal strength and stretching heat seal strength. Expanding heat seal strength relates to the size, shape and material of the pouches. If the material is so soft that it can be extended to several times its original length, obvious deformation would occur with the testing pressure increase. Therefore, slabs should be applied as the testing device to restrain the expansion caused by pressure increase and material deformation.
With the help of Labthink leak and seal strength tester, the maximum breaking force can be determined. Through pressure setting, the breaking time can also be determined.  The operator can design the stack structure according to testing data, and adjust the parameters of heat seal process so as to improve the packaging effects, or analyze the existing problems according to the breaking places on the flexible packages.
