Routine checks of sealing devices

Maximum safety. Minimum costs.
The MELAG test procedures perform quick and affordable routine checks of your sealing devices, thereby ensuring legal compliance. Our aligned solutions work precisely to prove the quality and reproducibility of your seal seams. An overview of the tests to be performed on a daily, monthly and annual basis:

Peel test

Please make sure to carry out the peel test on a daily basis, preferably before starting work: The tested seal seam must be even and complete. Subsequently, check the seal seam manually. To do so, please sterilize the sealed packaging, take it from the autoclave and pull the seal seam apart slowly in the peel direction. The film must detach from the paper with almost no residue.

MELAcontrol Seal Check

The daily MELAcontrol Seal Check verifies the quality of the seal seam in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11607-2. Place the seal check into the pouch and seal the packaging so that the generated seal seam runs centrally across the entire test strip. The indicator paper of the MELAcontrol Seal Check enables you to evaluate the seal seam reliably. The test is successful if the complete seal seam shows an even coloration and sharp contours without any faults, wrinkles or bubbles.

MELAcontrol Ink Test

The MELAcontrol Ink test is a reliable test for performing a weekly routine check of the seal seam for leaks in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11607-1 and ASTM F1929-12. Seal the disposable MELAcontrol Ink test into the transparent packaging. Carefully apply pressure to the ink bag until it bursts. The ink will leak into the sealed pouch guaranteeing the reliable visual check of the seal seams, revealing irregularities, flaws or channels in the seal seams.

Seal seam stability test

In order to validate packaging processes and to evaluate the performance of sealing devices, hygiene experts strongly recommend the seal seam stability test as an annual routine check. The MELAG seal seam stability test is a standardized test procedure for the qualification of your MELAseal® sealing device in accordance with DIN EN 868-5, Appendix D. MELAG performs the test with a highly-precise testing machine for guaranteed valid results.
