Hard vacuum test – steel drums

Fully automatic leak testing at maximum speed and accuracy.

Our in-line leak testing systems are designed for extremely accurate leak testing for a wide variety of drums and similar products. It`s smart design provides a fully automatic solution with a high capacity rate that can be implemented to provide a zero defects production output.

For this specific project, the Hard vacuum test was used for a customer in the steel drum industry. The hard vacuum test (using helium as tracer gas) is the most precise method to automatically leak test a product (up to 10^-8 mbar*l/s). This test can be performed with active helium supply or with products that are pre-filled with helium. Verborg Engineering B.V. is able to do both of these versions.

On top of that, this system was also combined with a pressure decay test. Multiple different kinds of products (in this case tight head and open head drums) were able to be tested on one system.
