In pharmaceutical, medical, and daily chemical production, container integrity is one of the most critical factors in guaranteeing product safety and compliance. A tiny leak or microcrack in a container can lead to contamination, compromised sterility, and even product recalls. To address this challenge, SANTUO's BFS Leak Tester provides a non-destructive, accurate, and efficient solution for airtightness detection.
By integrating advanced technology such as high-voltage discharge leak detection, the BFS leak tester enables manufacturers to identify even the smallest defects in plastic ampoules, bottles, and other BFS containers—ensuring product quality and patient safety.
What is a BFS Leak Tester
A BFS Leak Tester, also known as a BFS leak test machine or BFS Leak Detection System, unlike traditional destructive testing methods that require puncturing or pressurizing the container, this system uses non-destructive high-voltage discharge sealability detection technology.
When a container has a hole or crack in its insulating wall, the high-voltage current passes through the defect into the liquid inside. This creates a measurable difference in current compared to a perfectly sealed container. Based on this comparison, the system determines whether the container leaks—all without damaging the tested product.
How the BFS Leak Tester Works
High-Voltage Discharge Principle
A high-voltage potential is applied across the container.
If the container is intact, the insulating wall prevents current from flowing into the liquid.
If there is a crack or micro-hole, the current leaks through and creates a measurable signal.
Non-Destructive Testing
Unlike destructive pressure methods, the BFS leak test machine does not harm the sample.
Containers that pass the test remain intact and can proceed to packaging and distribution.
Real-Time Results
Each container is evaluated instantly, reducing delays and improving quality assurance efficiency.
Key Features of BFS Leak Tester
