Applications & Industries
Doypack Compression Tester : Applications and Industries
Inspecting the strength of welds and the integrity of flexible packaging is a requirement common to many industrial sectors. Whether it’s ensuring the seal integrity of a food pouch, the safety of a pharmaceutical sachet, or the durability of a cosmetic doypack, the CompressPack adapts to the specific requirements of each production environment.
Sector 01
Food industry
In the food industry, the strength of welds is a fundamental food safety parameter. A poorly sealed doypack can break the cold chain, cause contamination, or compromise the best-by date. Conversely, a weld that is too weak may fail during transport or handling.
CompressPack allows you to define and monitor the acceptable resistance ranges for each packaging SKU. The acceptance limit mode instantly alerts the operator to any measurement outside the tolerance range, allowing the operator to take action without interrupting production.
In the pharmaceutical industry, testing the seal integrity of flexible packaging is a critical step in the packaging process. A bag that is not properly sealed compromises the sterility of the product and can lead to contamination ; a defective seal could result in a costly product recall.
CompressPack meets the regulatory requirements for full traceability through batch-based results management and user identification. The CFR 21 option ensures compliance with pharmaceutical industry regulations (21 CFR Part 11). Each measurement is time-stamped, exportable, and can be integrated into your quality management systems.
Sector 02
Pharmaceutical industry
Sector 03
Cosmetic industry
The cosmetics industry is one of the most demanding sectors when it comes to seal repeatability. Cream tubes, mask sachets, serum pouches : each flexible container has its own strength requirements, and even the slightest deviation during production can lead to leaks or non-conformities.
Our compression testers allow you to accurately measure the compressive strength of all your flexible packaging. For high-speed production lines, the CompressPack ensures optimal repeatability thanks to its automatic cyclic tests. It integrates easily into your quality control processes—whether at the start, during, or at the end of production.
In the chemical and industrial packaging sectors, the strength of welds is a fundamental safety parameter. Improperly sealed flexible packaging can cause chemical leaks, which are hazardous to the environment and to workers ; conversely, rigorous inspection ensures the integrity of the packaging throughout the supply chain.
The CompressPack is used at several stages : validation of welding parameters at the start of production, in-line quality control, and qualification of sealing equipment. Robust and precise, it is suitable for flexible packaging with compression forces ranging from a few daN up to 4 000 daN.
