What does a leakage tester do?

AELAB Leak Tester is professionally designed for the leakage tests of packages for food, drugs, medical instruments, daily chemical products, cars, electronic components, stationeries and other industrial products. The instrument also can be used to test seal performance of specimens after falling and compression tests.

• Food Packaging: Ensuring that packaged food remains fresh and uncontaminated.
• Pharmaceutical Packaging: Guaranteeing the sterility and integrity of medical supplies and drug packaging.
• Electronics and Stationery: Preventing air and moisture from entering sensitive packaging that could damage electronics or other sensitive products

What’s the advantages of using the AELAB leak tester system?

1. Enhanced Product Safety: By detecting leaks early, manufacturers can prevent contamination risks.
2. Cost Efficiency: Reducing the risk of product recalls or customer complaints.
3. Compliance with Standards: The AELAB vacuum leakage tester meets international testing standards, allowing companies to comply with regulatory requirements globally.
4. Data Management: Companies manage data with automated controls and export options, documenting results easily, which is essential for industries like pharmaceuticals where regulations govern quality control.

The leak measurement principle of the test:

Vacuum of the sealed tank, soak in water sample produce both inside and outside differential pressure, pressure reached set value, keep the setting time, observation sample gas to escape, to determine the sample sealing performance and strength of destruction, which automatically maintain tank pressure constant pressure function, time to time, instruments and automatic control, electromagnetic valve, pressure relief tank pressure is close to zero, electromagnetic valve automatically shut down, the whole test process automatic completion, without human involvement.

The Leak tester Structure Composition:

The leak Testing machine is mainly composed of acrylic transparent vacuum tank, SCM control system, key LCD human-computer interaction part, pressure detection sensor, air source, gas path control system.

How does a leak tester work?

Test requirements: Vacuum: -50kPa,Hold time: 40S

1.Place the test specimen

Open the vacuum tank and inject proper amount of water. The injection amount should be put into the sample after the top cover is fastened, and the water level in the tank is about 10mm higher than the upper side of the porous press plate (refer to appendix).

2.Set the holding pressure to -50kPa, holding time to 0040S, accuracy to 0.2kPa, confirm to return to the test interface.

3.Press the “Start” button to start the test and start pumping. The indicator light is on, and the pressure shows rising.

4.In the pressure holding process, if the pressure is lower than the “set pressure-accuracy”, the pumping solenoid valve will start pumping again to maintain the pressure within the range of “set pressure ± accuracy”

5.the last 5S of the countdown will beep indication, countdown to zero, back blowing solenoid valve suction automatic pressure relief and air release, at the same time the indicator light, real-time display tank pressure decline process, when the pressure is close to zero, back blowing solenoid valve closed to complete the pressure relief process.

6.according to the visual sample leakage, press the up arrow to choose whether leakage, press the “print” button to print the test report.

7.The technician completes the test, changes the sample, and repeats the next test process.

How to maintenance the vacuum leak tester?

Proper maintenance of the vacuum leak tester ensures optimal performance and longevity. Follow these steps to keep the device in excellent working condition:

1. General Maintenance Tips

• Air Source Care: Ensure the air source entering the instrument is dry and clean. Regularly clean the filter to prevent dirt buildup, which can block the air path and make it difficult to achieve the desired vacuum degree.
• Air Compressor Maintenance: Regularly discharge water from the air compressor to maintain a dry air source.
• Cleanliness: Keep the equipment and its surrounding environment clean.
• Pressure Accuracy: Check the accuracy of the pressure regularly. If inaccuracies are detected, refer to the “Pressure Calibration” chapter or contact the company’s technical service department.
• Vacuum Pump Oil Level: Check the oil level of the vacuum pump frequently. The oil should remain between the lower and upper limits of the oil level lines. A low oil level reduces pump performance, while a high oil level may cause oil mist emission.

2. Pump Oil Filling Procedure

• Refueling Steps:
  1. Unscrew the oil plug and slowly add oil to the middle of the two oil level lines to prevent spillage.
  2. Turn on the power to start the pump and let it run for about one minute.
  3. Check the oil level through the oil window. If it’s too low, turn off the pump, refuel, and recheck.
  4. Securely tighten the oil plug after ensuring the correct oil level.
• Oil Replacement: Replace the vacuum pump oil promptly if it becomes emulsified or contaminated.

3. Oil Change Procedure

• • Before Starting:
    1. Run the pump for about one minute to ensure it is in the holding state.
    2. Open the air inlet while the pump is running to force the oil in the cavity to flow out.
  • Steps for Changing Oil:
    1. Turn off the pump and open the oil plug to drain the used oil into a suitable container for proper disposal.
    2. Tilt the pump body to ensure all residual waste oil is fully discharged.
    3. Tighten the drain plug securely.
    4. Open the refueling plug and add the new pump oil provided with the device.
