This essential instrument ensures the quality and effectiveness of packaging by accurately measuring heat seal strength and integrity. Ideal for industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and more, the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester offers unparalleled precision and efficiency.

Introduction to the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester

The GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester provides a sophisticated solution for assessing the heat-sealing capabilities of materials. By applying controlled heat, pressure, and time to samples, this tester simulates the conditions under which heat seals are formed in the packaging process. Its ability to create a controlled temperature gradient across the sealing area, coupled with multi-station capabilities, makes it a valuable tool for manufacturers seeking optimal sealing parameters.

Key Features of the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester

1. Gradient Temperature Control: The GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester features a gradient control system that allows for simultaneous testing at multiple temperature settings. This gradient capability improves efficiency by reducing the waiting time between tests.

2. Precision Temperature Control: Equipped with a high-quality P.I.D. (Proportional Integral Derivative) temperature controller, the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester ensures precise temperature control and efficient heating for accurate seal testing.

3. Simultaneous Sealing: This heat seal tester can conduct tests with up to five different sealing temperatures simultaneously, offering a comprehensive analysis of heat sealability under various conditions.

4. Durable and Efficient Design: The tester’s upper and lower jaws, made from aluminum and independently heated, minimize heat loss and ensure smooth temperature distribution across the sealing area.

5. Accurate Pressure and Timing: The GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester incorporates an accurate timer and proximity sensor to synchronize seal start time with jaw movement, ensuring precise sealing pressure and timing.

6. Enhanced Safety Features: Designed with user protection in mind, the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester includes features such as an anti-scald front cover and manual and foot switch controls to enhance operational safety.

7. Customizable Seal Jaws: The tester offers customizable seal jaws in terms of dimension, shape, and sealing surface patterns, catering to specific testing needs and material types.

8. Flexible Testing Parameters: The GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester accommodates a wide range of sealing temperatures (ambient to 250°C), pressure (0.15 to 0.7 MPa), and sealing times (0.1 to 9999 seconds).

Standards Compliance

The GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester adheres to the ASTM F2029-16 (2021) standard, which outlines the practices for making laboratory heat seals and determining the heat sealability of flexible barrier materials. This compliance ensures that the tester provides accurate and reliable data for quality control and material assessment.

Technical Specifications

Test Process

To perform a heat sealability test using the GHS-01 Heat Seal Tester, follow these steps:

1. Place the sample material between the two parallel heated sealing jaws with flat surfaces.
2. Allow the temperature to reach equilibrium.
3. Activate the upper seal jaw, which is driven by a gas cylinder, to apply a specific pressure to the sample for the preset time.
4. Upon completion of the sealing time, the upper jaw returns to its original position, and the testing process is complete.

Heat Sealing Evaluation

After the sealing process, the heat sealability can be evaluated through various methods, including:

• Air-Leak Testing: To assess the seal's ability to prevent air leakage.
• Dye Penetration: To check for any penetration of dye through the seal.
• Visual Examination: To inspect the seal's appearance and integrity.
• Microorganism Penetration: To ensure that seals meet hygiene and safety standards.
