PTI Will Showcase Non-Destructive Micro Leak Tester at Pack Expo Las Vegas
Tuckahoe, NY (October 10, 2007) –Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI) will exhibit the VeriPac Model 325 inspection system at the Pack Expo Show running October 15-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, PTI Booth S-5150.
Heinz Wolf, general manager for PTI, states “The VeriPac 325 has proven to be the ultimate front-to-back leak testing solution for the food and pharmaceutical industry.” Using non-destructive vacuum decay leak testing technology, test chambers are designed to accommodate a full range of containers and packages:
• Cups and Trays
• Bottles
• Vials and Ampoules
• Empty and Pre-Filled Syringes
• BPC and API Containers
• Non-Porous Pouches and Flexible Packaging
The VeriPac 325 inspection system utilizes an ASTM approved vacuum decay leak test method (F2338-05) recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing. This test method was developed using PTI’s VeriPac leak test instruments. Test components are optimized according to the type of package being tested and the level of sensitivity required. This versatility offers a tremendous advantage to companies looking for a reliable all around leak testing solution that can be implemented at various stages of the manufacturing process.
Wolf adds, “In recent years the number of recalls due to defects that compromise package integrity and sterility as well as problems with container closures has escalated. Package integrity testing using destructive inspection methods are time consuming and unreliable, producing results that are dependent on technique, sample preparation and operator variability. VeriPac leak test systems are an ideal QA/QC process control tool. Since testing is non-destructive, it allows for increased sampling and offers fast, precise and repeatable test results. VeriPac leak testers feature a small footprint, and are designed for use at both the plant level in production settings and for laboratory testing, with minimal training and technical experience required to operate the tester.”
Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI) is a leading manufacturer of non-destructive inspection technologies for the pharmaceutical, medical device, food and container industries. Recognized as a thought leader in new delivery systems for seal, package and container integrity testing, PTI has set the standard for inspection systems that provide repeatable, reliable results. Having a PTI inspection solution in place for QA/QC process control guarantees that your package is “fit for purpose” from manufacturing through distribution.
