Non-Destructive Solutions for Package Integrity, Micro Leak Testing and Container Closure Integrity Testing at Interpack
Tuckahoe, New York (April 27, 2011) - PTI will Showcase the VeriPac Leak Detection Systems at Interpack, May 12 – 18, 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. PTI Inspection Systems booth is located in the PMMI US Pavillion in Hall 12, Booth C13-3.
"The new generation VeriPac 400 Series made its debut in 2010 and has been very well received," commented Jesse Sklar, sales manager. "The pharmaceutical, food and medical device industries have recognized the need for better, faster inspection methods that over time cost less because less waste is produced. Companies also recognize the importance of implementing an inspection method for quality/process control which can eliminate catastrophic, costly product recalls due to package/seal integrity defects. Destructive test methods without a data stream are being replaced by systems that conform to a uniform standard, such as the ASTM. The focus and goal of PTI’s inspection technologies is to exclude subjectivity from package testing, as well as maintain the integrity of the package so it can enter the market or be used for further testing."
