LeakPointer H2O

The Dansensor® LeakPointer® H₂O  is a package leak detector which helps you pinpoint even the smallest leaks. This instrument helps you conduct visual leak tests (bubble test) on all types of flexible, semi-rigid and rigid packages, regardless of whether they have ample headspace, like MAP packages, or use other packaging methods with little or no headspace, such as vacuum or skin packaging.

Operation and use

Simply place the test package(s) into the tub, close the lid, and start the instrument to begin testing – you can even use the vacuum pressure to fill the tub with exactly the right amount of water from a water container via the drain hose.

Adjust the pressure as needed and watch for a stream of bubbles from the package to locate the leak. When you stop the instrument, the test ends and the lid opens automatically, remaining open and dripping excess water back into the tub. The instrument is also easy to empty and clean with a built-in drain, quick-release hose and removable, rounded tub.

No messy overfill, no heavy lifting to fill or clean the instrument, and no hard-to-reach corners!

Add an optional digital pressure meter to ensure a successful test every time, even on rigid flat packages that don’t expand under pressure or packages with easy-open seals which can’t withstand high pressures.

Additional or stand-alone leak detection

The Dansensor LeakPointer H₂O is the perfect addition to your quality control process. It can be used alone, or to achieve the ultimate leak detection solution, use it in tandem with the Dansensor LeakPointer 3 or LeakPointer 3⁺ – first determine if there is a leak with a non-destructive leak test, then use the LeakPointer H₂O to find the leak’s exact location.

Leak detectors:

The Dansensor® LeakPointer H₂O is part of our leak detector family of products.

• Dansensor® LeakPointer® 3 and Dansensor® LeakPointer® 3+
  The Dansensor LeakPointer 3 and 3+ are designed for the food industry and can measure leaks as small as 50 micron (µm). This helps ensure unwanted batch recalls and high product quality.
• Dansensor® Lippke® VC1400
  Dansensor Lippke VC1400 provides reliable seal strength and pressure leak testing of many types of packaging. It can be used for quality control checks, R&D package testing and process optimization on the packaging line.
• Dansensor® LeakMatic ll
  The Dansensor LeakMatic II is an in-line leak detector capable of detecting large boxes in a non-destructive way. The non-destructive testing reduce waste and ensure leak free packages are sent to the consumers.
