An automated container closure integrity testing machine for sealed flexible containers, mainly pharmaceutical IV bags — compact enough for the lab or the production area.
Polar tests sealed flexible containers, mainly pharmaceutical IV bags, in small and medium batches with manual loading and unloading. Its compact, quiet and sturdy design lets it run in a testing laboratory or in a production area, and it can be customized.
Detects leaks down to 3 µm.
Cycle times down to 4 seconds.
Lower carbon footprint and lower operating costs.
Condensation on the bag surface does not affect the result.
Detects both gas and liquid leaks across the entire bag.
Non-destructive, non-invasive, deterministic and quantitative analysis; speed and detection limits adjustable to your needs.
