PACKINOV testing laboratory
Serving your industrial needs
At PACKINOV, sealing is not a secondary stage: it's the ultimate guarantee that your product will reach the consumer intact, tasty and safe.
Our engineers and technicians, who have specialised for over twenty years in the technologies of weight dosage and heat sealhave developed unique expertise in adapting, making reliable and optimising each combination jar / lid.
This commitment to quality is demonstrated at the heart of our Beynost site, in a sealing laboratory fully equipped and managed by our in-house teams.
This is where your samples are tested and the optimum sealing parameters are defined for your jar and lid:
- Check that your jar and lid are compatible
- Peelability assessment
- Leak diagnosis of your sealed jar
- Determining optimum sealing parameters
- Proposal for alternative lidding materials
PACKINOV test modules
The tests are carried out using a set of equipment adapted to sealability and compatibility materials.
We use a heat sealer adjustable up to 300°C, with interchangeable settings and heads to suit the formats tested.
A generator and a induction head are also available for lids that require a special sealing technology. induction sealing.
For the mechanical assessment of seals, a traction bench capable of exerting a force of up to 40 N is used to measure the resistance to tearing.
Verification of waterproofing is ensured by a hypobaric chamber down to -1.0 barsimulating extreme transport and storage conditions.
Finally, a dry heat oven is used to test the behaviour of samples subjected to high temperatures, as part of the ageing or thermal stability tests.

Manufacture
100% French
Since 1997, PACKINOV designs and manufactures rotary machines and automatic packaging lines adapted to all products in rigid containers in Beynost (01).
From the outset, this company has opted for the 100% MADE IN FRANCE.
Innovative, top-of-the-range French manufacturer, PACKINOV is present in France and abroad and supports its customers at every stage of their project, in a spirit of partnership. global packaging solution with machines but also pots, the lids and many associated services.
How your trial runs
We are launching a test campaign based on samples of jars and lids that you provide.
Around thirty pots are generally needed to ensure that the tests are representative.
At the end of these tests, we analyse the results obtained and summarise them in a detailed test report, including our technical conclusion.
If the tests carried out with your seal are not conclusive, we can also offer you an alternative solution more suited to your needs.
This service is generally carried out over a day and a half for each pair of pot/opercule materials.
