Pneumatic leak tester CTE

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
CTE pneumatic vacuum chambers are designed for leak detection in various industrial packaging types, including perfume bottles, food containers, sachets, and sealed packaging like chip packets and yogurt containers. These chambers utilize a fully pneumatic system to create a vacuum, testing the sealing of products either on the production line or in a quality lab.

Functionality
The vacuum is generated using a venturi system powered by a compressed air network, creating a pressure difference to detect leaks. If a compressed air supply is unavailable, CTS models can operate with vacuum pumps up to -950 mbar.

Models and Testing Types
  • CTE: Dry test for liquid or semi-viscous products, detecting leaks by observing product flow outside the packaging.
  • CTE-I: Immersion test where air bubbles in water indicate leaks.
  • CTE-Bi: Methylene blue test for destructive testing on blister or pouch packaging.

Design and Operation
The CTE range features a plexiglass box with a control box, including a venturi, adjustable timer, and pressure regulator. The operator manually sets the test time and adjusts the pressure using a visible manovacuometer.

Standards Compliance
Examples include ASTM D6653, ASTM D3078, and ASTM D4991, ensuring the equipment meets industry standards for packaging leak testing.

Technical Specifications
  • Measurement range: -0.1 to -0.85 Bar, accuracy +/- 2%
  • Temperature range: 0 to 40°C
  • Air supply: Compressed air 7 bar network
  • Adjustable depression time: 0 to 999 seconds

Benefits
  • Fast, ergonomic, and easy to use
  • Reliable and economical
  • Low maintenance due to the absence of electrical connections
  • Adaptable to production environments

Use Cases
Commonly used in production lines for testing vials, bottles, and removing air bubbles in various products. The CTE-I model is preferred for simple immersion tests in industries ranging from food to aeronautics.

Additional Features
  • Customizable box sizes and shapes
  • Options for RS 232 connectivity
  • Delivered with a calibration certificate LNE/COFRAC

ACRN Services
ACRN offers calibration, annual maintenance, and advisory services for setting up tests and selecting materials, ensuring repeatability and compliance with technological and budgetary needs.

Pneumatic leak tester CTE-3

Simple functions and intuitive design There is only a manual mode where the operator chooses its test time on the timer, press the start button then adjusts its depression using the pressure regulator knob, value visible on the manovacuometer located on the housing cover. The CTE pneumatic range consists of a box in plexiglass, associated with a control box. This latter is equipped with an easy-to-use system, composed in particular of a venturi, an adjustable timing device, and a pressure regulator that adjusts the depression to - 850 mbar. Example of standards: ASTM D6653: Effects of Altitude...

Pneumatic leak tester CTE-5

Pneumatic chamber leak test CTE Robust model and versatile Custom box* function It is used to test the tightness of packaging containing liquid or semi-viscous products, by depression, directly on the production line with a total visibility, thanks to its plexiglass design. Just lay down your sample to immerse your cap. The use of blotting paper by example, allows you to see if the product has leaked from the sample during the test. Entirely pneumatic Easy and intuitive to use use case: Most often used for vials or bottles, it is also used to remove air bubbles and impurities in the enamel, emulsion,...
