Inherent CCIT

Headspace analysis (HSA) as a method for leak detection is based on the detection of gas concentration changes in the packaging. The Bombing Station allows a controlled conditioning (overpressure or negative pressure) of the environment of a test sample with compressed air, carbon dioxide or further gases. The gas exchange within a test sample without modified headspace happens within a short period of time.

WILCO AG Bombing station to accelerate gas ingress for parenterals

Acceleration of gas ingress

Shortening of waiting times for gas concentration change in the headspace

Sensitive

Detection of leak rates down to 6,6 * 10-6 mbar * l/s (equivalent to a leak size of 0,1 µm) in NEO HSX headspace analyzer possible

Intuitive

Easy operation through WILCO standard HMI MAVIS

Robust

Robust, compact and mobile design for use in the laboratory or in production

Bombing as a method to accelerate air ingress

Headspace Analysis (HSA) as a test method for leak testing is based on the detection of a certain trace gas in the headspace of the test object. The Bombing method patented by WILCO allows the gas concentration to change in the event of a leak in the shortest possible time – even for test samples without vacuum in the headspace. This enables the HSA Method to be used for many applications such as:

  • For leaks in headspace and in product area
  • Shelf for bombing of multiple containers parallel
  • Inserts for dry ice to simulate deep cold storage conditions
  • Pressure profiles for simulation of transport condition, storage over shelf life and as alternative to dye ingress testing

Features

  • Programmable pressure profiles (max. 12 pressure changes)
  • Extraction for rapid, controlled venting of the chamber
  • Regulator for limiting the flow of process gas
  • Pressure reducer to limit the pressure of the process gas or compressed air
  • Stainless steel pressure vessel with integrated monitoring window
  • Integrated pressure gauge for manual pressure control
  • Exhaust for venting the chamber and the process gas (e.g. CO2)
  • Flange for connection of auxiliary devices (e.g. heating, cooling, electrical feedthrough for camera)
  • Area for placing a NEO HSX Headspace Analyzer
