Interphex, Nikka, PMMI

Tuckahoe, New York and Lakewood, Colorado (March 11, 2011) - PTI Inspection Systems and Nikka Densok USA will showcase a new HVLD Micro Leak Detection System at the Interphex Show, March 29-31, 2011 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, NY in Booth 3617.

PTI has partnered with Nikka USA to promote their HVLD high voltage inspection technology. HVLD has been very successful at pinhole micro leak detection in the pharmaceutical industry for liquid filled products such as ampoules, vials, BFS containers, syringes and pouches. This new offline lab instrument is designed to inspect individual samples for micro leaks and sealing defects. Testing is non-destructive and non-invasive. The compact benchtop design is ideal for laboratory testing and R&D purposes.

Heinz Wolf, general manager of PTI Inspection Systems, commented, "The HVLD test method ensures product seal integrity by identifying small pinholes, micro cracks and seal imperfections that cannot visually be seen. This system features a fast test cycle and is easy to operate. Additional benefits include quick changeover and easy test parameter changes to accommodate a wide range of products and applications."
