In the world of packaging, the reliability of welds is a key factor. A fragile or poorly executed weld can have serious consequences: product leakage, loss of tightness, contamination, or even the recall of entire batches. To avoid these risks, manufacturers need accurate measuring tools capable of verifying the quality of seals. The Peeltest<\/strong>, also known as a peel test bench, is an essential solution as it allows the mechanical strength of welds to be checked and ensures that packaging complies with current standards.<\/p>\n\n The Peeltest is a measuring instrument that evaluates the force required to separate two bonded surfaces. It is mainly used to test the strength of flexible packaging such as plastic films, bags, blister packs, and medical pouches.<\/p>\n\n The sample to be tested is cut and then inserted into the Peeltest jaws. The machine applies controlled traction to both welded parts and records the force applied until breakage occurs. This makes it possible to determine whether the weld is uniform and sufficiently strong to meet safety requirements.<\/p>\n\n Unlike a tensile testing machine, which measures the overall strength of a material, the Peeltest focuses exclusively on the quality of welds<\/strong>. It is a tool specialized in evaluating sealants, not raw materials.<\/p>\n\n The Peeltest ensures precise control of the adhesion and regularity of welds. It highlights invisible defects, such as insufficient pressure, incorrect temperature settings, or the presence of impurities in the sealing area.<\/p>\n\n Many industries require standardized testing to validate packaging compliance. In the medical and pharmaceutical fields, for example, ISO 11607 defines the criteria for validating sterile packaging. The food and cosmetics industries are also subject to strict controls to ensure health safety and consumer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n A packaging defect can have major financial and reputational consequences. Using the Peeltest helps limit product losses, avoid costly recalls, and protect the brand against litigation related to non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n Packaging bags, trays, and films must be completely airtight to preserve food quality. The Peeltest validates the strength of welds and prevents any risk of leakage or contamination.<\/p>\n\n In this sector, safety is vital. The Peeltest is used to check the strength of welds on infusion bags, tablet blister packs, or sterile pouches. These tests ensure that the packaging remains sterile and tamper-proof until use.<\/p>\n\n Single-dose packaging, samples, and sealed sachets must be sturdy but easy for consumers to open. The Peeltest allows you to find the right balance between weld strength and ease of opening.<\/p>\n\n Beyond the food, medical, and cosmetics industries, Peeltest is used for technical or specific packaging in industry. Integrated directly into production lines, it provides fast and efficient quality control.<\/p>\n\n The operator cuts a strip containing the weld to be analyzed, usually in a standardized format. This step is essential for obtaining representative and comparable results.<\/p>\n\n Both ends of the weld are placed in the Peeltest jaws. The hold must be firm and steady to avoid measurement errors.<\/p>\n\n The machine exerts a progressive force at a constant speed. This traction reproduces the mechanical stress that the packaging will undergo during use.<\/p>\n\n The Peeltest records the force applied in the form of numerical values and graphical curves. These data reveal the maximum separation force, the homogeneity of the weld, and the type of failure observed (film rupture, delamination, weld tear).<\/p>\n\n
