Leak Testing for Food Packaging

Lost product is lost money. Recalls due to contamination are costly – to your bottom line and your reputation. These scenarios, though worrisome, are easy to prevent. By adding an ALPS Inspection leak tester to your blow molding production line, you can eliminate defective containers long before they reach the filling stage.

The most common and effective leak detection method for empty plastic containers is the Pressure Decay method, used by all ALPS Inspection equipment. This is an ideal leak testing solution for an extensive range of food containers, including:

  • Edible oil containers
  • Cooking oil bottles
  • Syrup bottles
  • Salad dressing bottles
  • Plastic peanut butter jars
  • Ketchup bottles
  • Microwavable soup containers
  • Vinegar bottles
  • Plastic fruit jars
  • Plastic coffee cans
  • And many more
