The benchtop TSE6086B from Bestech Australia tests packages for leaks as small as 10 micron in diameter, allowing sensitive measurement without adding stress to package contents.

It is used by clients to test biscuits, snack foods, salad, MAP packs, milk powder, medical bandages and pharmaceuticals.

The testing chamber is designed to fit most package sizes found in the supermarket.

Finished products are placed manually, and the handle is closed to initiate a fully automatic test sequence. Results are displayed with Pass or Fail lamps, along with a quantitative measure of the leakage rate.

The test runs as fast as 5-15 seconds for most standard packs, and testing results are logged into a spreadsheet importable format to PC for trend analysis and traceability.

Bestech also offers traditional water bath leak testers and modified versions based on customers’ specifications.
