Leak and Burst Testing

With special needles and practical optional equipment, the LIPPKE 2500 can test nearly all flexible and semi-rigid packages. For example, flow packs, sachets, pots, trays and thermo-formed packages, as well as drinks packages, can be successfully tested.

• Objective test results
• Measurement documentation reports
• Leakage and seal strength measurement in a single operation
• High measurement accuracy
• Reduction of sub-standard materials
• User-friendly (windows) software
• Additional equipment available:
  Alternative needle heads
  Clamp PPC 300 for testing open-ended packages
