PET bottles are very lightweight, which makes them ideal for packaging applications. While testing the physical properties of a PET bottle, certain important factors have to be considered such as its weight, dimensions, and appearance. However, an additional factor that is often overlooked is the secure seal of these bottles. The secure seal of a PET bottle is essential in order to ensure that the contents inside remain fresh and uncontaminated. Thus, we at Presto have made it easy for PET bottle manufacturers to conduct secure seal tests on the bottles with the help of a secure seal tester. This is an accurate lab testing equipment that is used in various industries to ensure the seal integrity of PET bottles.
In this blog post, we will explore why it is important to test the secure seal of PET bottles and how the Presto secure seal tester is best for testing the seal integrity of PET bottles.
Why is it necessary to test the secure seal of PET bottles?
As we have discussed above PET bottles are lighter and more durable as compared to glass bottles. These bottles can easily be used in a variety of products such as packaging beverages, juices, and many more. PET bottles are also shatter-resistant, which makes them safer to use than glass bottles. It is necessary to test the secure seal of PET bottles to ensure that the bottles are properly sealed and will not leak. A leaking bottle can cause the contents to spill, which can be dangerous or even hazardous. Leaks can also result in loss of product, which can be costly.
Secure seals are important for preventing product tampering and leakage. They also help to ensure that the product inside the bottle is fresh and has not been contaminated. Testing the secure seal of PET bottles helps to ensure that the bottles are suitable for use and that the products inside them are safe for consumers. You can easily test the seal properties of bottle lids and caps with the help of a Presto secure seal tester.
There are many benefits of testing the secure seal of PET bottles. It helps to ensure that the bottles are fit for use and that the products inside them are safe for consumers. Testing also allows manufacturers to identify any issues with the bottle seals, which can then be rectified before they cause any problems. In addition, testing helps to build consumer confidence in the product and gives them peace of mind.
Thus, with the use of a Presto secure seal tester, one can easily ensure that their bottles are accurate and secured without worrying about any leakage.
How to test the secure seal of PET bottles?
When testing the secure seal of PET bottles, it is important to first inspect the bottle for any signs of damage. If there are any cracks or holes in the bottle, it should be discarded. To conduct a secure seal test on PET bottles, you can easily make use of the Presto secure seal tester.
Below we have listed the steps that help the users to accurately conduct secure seal tests on the PET bottles.
-
Whenever you conduct a secure seal test, you need to prepare the specimen first.
-
Place it in a bottleneck cutter and cut the part of the bottle just below the collar.
-
This will give two parts of the bottle that are one with the cap and the other with the whole part of the bottle. The cap part will be used as the test specimen for the secure seal tester.
-
Fix the part of the bottle with the cap on it, into the test specimen fixture.
-
Take this fixture and place it in the brass fixture provided with the machine.
-
Turn ON the machine by plugging the mains socket of the machine into a 3-pin 15 amp socket.
-
Insert the pressure pipe into the pressurized air inlet and set the test duration timing for conducting the secure seal test on the bottles.
-
Set the input pressure & adjust the pressure by rotating the valve knob in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
-
After setting the pressure, pull the pressure knob back into its place.
Once all these steps will be followed, then you can easily commence the test. In this way, one can easily test the secure seals of bottles and ensure that accurate products will be delivered to the customers. You can read more on the importance of a secure seal tester in the PET bottle industry.
