Seal Check System
Van der Stähl Scientific and HAWO are excited to bring you this powerful sterile packaging validation tool.

In accordance with ISO 11607, Part 2, the sealing seams must show the following quality characteristics within the Operational Qualification (OQ):

1. intact seal for a given width
2. no channels or open seals
3. no punctures or tears
4. no material delamination

With the hawotest Seal Check, an indicator strip shows whether these quality features are fulfilled. A subjective interpretation of the seal seam is excluded, regardless of the type of sealing device.

Reports From Our Lab
Below are samples of output reports from our seal strength lab and a histogram of a datalogging session created from a typical machine calibration.

The above seal strength test gathers data at the rate of 20 times per second in order to evaluate both seal strength intensity as well as compliance of seal strength over the breadth of the session.

High capture rate as well as visual data interpretation is pivotal to engender a metrology report on critical packaging machinery.

At Van der Stähl Scientific we have a basic philosophy: If you're in the business of providing machinery that seals sterile packs, you need to have a solid understanding of the integrity of the seal your machine creates. Enter the Van der Stähl Scientific Package Integrity Lab. With an intense interest to provide our customers with exceptional customer care, we have invested tens of thousands of dollars to create this full service sterile package integrity lab. This state of the art lab allows us to evaluate the pouches and bags that our machinery seals to better understand the total value of the seals that our machines produce.

Our laboratory and trained technicians are able to scrutinize sterile packs through a variety of seal strength challenges. Some of these evaluation machines have actually been invented and built by our Sterile Packaging Group. The efficaciousness of our seal packaging inspection tools are so unique we were granted a patent in September, 2007 on our technology. Our laboratory can perform a variety of tests such as burst testing, peel analysis, and dye penetration studies and will do so with precise resolution. All the data collected during these robust seal integrity studies are extrapolated via our computer interface systems that allow us to provide comprehensive real time data logging with NIST traceable equipment.

Certified Data Interpretation
Just as important as the advanced equipment we utilize in our package integrity lab is the people that interpret the data. Whether it's the metrology department or the seal integrity lab, all data is evaluated and interpreted by a degreed technician.

And all of these reports are ultimately reviewed and interpreted by our in-house certified packaging professional, CPP. This process assures that you will receive the most relevant feedback on your machine's calibration or package integrity study.
