Please Visit our ACRYLIC VACUUM CHAMBERS website for more details on our capabilities.
Vacuum chambers manufactured from durable clear cast acrylic material allows for a full 360 degree view and are an idea replacement for heavy glass bell jars and cylinders.
Typical applications are:- Bubble Leak Testing
- Vacuum Degassing
- Vacuum Drying
- Vacuum Impregnation
- Vacuum Encapsulation
- Laboratory Application
- Product Testing
PACKAGE TESTING Reliable sealed product packaging is critical to prevent , contamination, spills and ensure product integrity during transportation. Issues such as packaging material compatibility, sealing machine setup, and contamination are factors that can affect the packaging seal reliability. Package testing in a vacuum environment can be a useful way of determining the integrity of product packaging. Packaging leak testing can be used in the following industries:Packaging Types- Food and beverage
- Chemical and gas storage
- Pharmaceuticals
A common method of package testing, often referred to as a bubble test or immersion leak test (Standard test ASTM D 3078-02), utilises clear vacuum chambers such as our acrylic chambers and submerges the package under water. As a vacuum is created, air inside the package can flow through any existing leaks in the packaging resulting in a trail of air bubbles rising to the top of the vacuum chamber.Please note, this leak test method can only identify a leak, but cannot quantify the leak rate.Applied Vacuum Engineering can design and manufacture custom chambers are available to match your application specifications.
