ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is taught for rapidly implementing a semiautomatic vacuum test of food cannisters prior to filling. Unit numbers of completely formed but unfilled cannisters are manually positioned on vacuum mandrels and the test sequence started. Progress of the sequence is controlled automatically and concluded by a digital value report of the unit seal quality. Test productivity is maximized by preparing a second unit number of cannisters for test, as the test sequence for a first unit number of cannisters progresses. Should a number of cannisters fail a test sequence, means are provided to test each cannister individually to determine the exact cause of failure.
