The Oxipack Stationary Leak Tester (SLT) offers a solution for non-destructive leak detection, ensuring the quality of your flexible packaging. Designed for industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and pet food, the SLT delivers highly accurate results while preserving the contents of your packages. This efficient tool is indispensable for quality control, helping businesses minimise waste and enhance production processes.

Non-Destructive Leak Detection with Vacuum Decay

The SLT employs the vacuum decay method (ASTM F2338), a non-destructive testing technique that ensures leak-tight packaging without damaging your products. By placing packages between two rubber membranes, the machine creates a vacuum in the test chamber. The small measuring space surrounding the package allows for precise leak detection, whether you’re testing for micro leaks or larger breaches.

Key Features of the SLT

  1. Non-Destructive Testing: The SLT allows you to inspect multiple packages at once without causing any damage, ensuring cost savings and waste reduction. Packaging can be reintroduced into the production line if no leaks are found.
  2. Immediate Results: The SLT provides instant feedback with green and red indicator lights, making it easy for operators to determine package integrity on the spot.
  3. Flexible Packaging Testing: The SLT is capable of testing a wide range of flexible (MAP) packaging types, such as sachets, pouches, or other vacuum-sealed products, up to dimensions of 350 x 500 x 116 mm (L x W x H). The robust design ensures that packages remain undamaged during testing.
  4. Accurate and Reliable: The vacuum decay method can detect leaks as small as 0.9 cm³/min, making it ideal for high-precision industries where even the smallest defects matter.
  5. User-Friendly Operation: The SLT’s intuitive interface, featuring simple push-button controls, ensures ease of use. The results are displayed in real-time, and operators can instantly see how serious the leak is, ensuring consistent quality control across production.
