Efficient and Reliable Leak Testing

Designed specifically for pharmaceutical packing, this leak tester ensures products meet stringent standards by detecting even minor leaks. With a measuring range up to 600 kPa and accuracy of 1% FS, users benefit from rapid, reliable quality assessments. The device accommodates up to three specimens simultaneously, streamlining batch inspections for manufacturers.


User-Friendly Controls and Data Management

Operated via an easy-to-use LCD touch screen with intuitive microcomputer controls, the tester allows operators to adjust stroke, test duration, and speed. All measurement data is automatically stored and can be seamlessly exported for in-depth analysis through RS232/USB connectivity and compatible PC software, enhancing traceability and regulatory compliance.


Compliant and Safe by Design

Constructed from durable stainless steel, the tester is built for long-term, safe operation. It includes multiple safety features, such as automatic pressure relief and over-pressure protection, to safeguard users and specimens. Furthermore, an audio-visual alarm system promptly notifies operators of any detected leakage, ensuring immediate corrective action.
