Seal Tick TSE2032 Underwater Water Vacuum Leak Tester

Checking packages of food and pharmaceuticals for leaks, a cause of quality loss or other damage to an enclosed product, is made simple with the bench-mounted Seal Tick TSE2032 Underwater Water Vacuum Leak Tester. The TSE2032 is suitable for detecting production line sealing equipment faults and remedying other sealing problems before production starts, or as a routine sample check.

Minute leaks from pinholes and imperfect seals can be observed from any part of the package through the TSE2032’s clear acrylic test chamber. An O-ring embedded in the lid of the test chamber lid ensures the chamber is fully sealed during the test cycle and damage due to wear and tear is minimised.

To test a package, the operator lifts the lid of the leak tester and places the package in the test chamber. The lid - which has an integral perforated grid - is manually lowered and the package is fully submersed. Turning a compressed air valve on via a lever on the side causes a partial vacuum to be drawn in the atmosphere above the water.

As the vacuum reaches a preset level the package swells and air within the package is drawn out through any pinholes, causing a stream of bubbles to rise to the top of the water. Bubbles escaping from the top side of the package are clearly visible from the top of the tester.

A vacuum generator is fitted to the lid of the test chamber and a long-life, battery-operated digital manometer enables the operator to monitor the vacuum in the chamber throughout the test cycle. Compressed air is the only external supply needed for the TSE2032; no external voltage is required.
