Introduce the New CDV Pharma and its three major evolutions.
Your laboratory requires Precision, Flexibility and Full Traceability.
That is exactly why we redesigned the CDV Pharma. In this article, we introduce the new CDV Pharma and its three major evolutions, designed to meet real pharmaceutical laboratory constraints and evolving packaging formats.
In this article, you will discover:
- Why CDV Pharma was redesigned.
- Evolution #1: Increased chamber height & packaging flexibility.
- Evolution #2: Independent control module.
- Evolution #3: Vacuum & pressure-based leak testing.
Increased chamber height
First, we increased the internal height of the chamber to accept a wider variety of product formats. Taller containers, large-diameter bottles, and thicker flexible packages can now be tested without limitation.
This evolution is a direct response to real laboratory constraints and the continuous evolution of pharmaceutical packaging.
Despite this increase in height, the chamber remains intentionally compact.
The reduced internal volume allows full immersion with methylene blue while limiting dye consumption and operating costs.
Independent control module
The second major evolution is the independent control module. Separating the control unit from the chamber improves delivery times, simplifies maintenance, and protects sensitive electronics from immersion fluids.
The module can also be positioned to the side, improving ergonomics and safety during daily operation.
Vacuum and pressure based leak tests
The third evolution is testing capability. The new CDV Pharma now supports dye penetration testing under both vacuum and pressure.
Pressure testing is available in two configurations:
Internal pressurization, in accordance with ASTM F2096.
External pressurization, which significantly increases sensitivity by actively forcing dye into potential defects.
With the same system, you can perform vacuum-only tests such as ASTM D3078, internal pressure tests, and combined vacuum and pressure methods. One instrument, multiple test standards.
Greater flexibility over time
All control modules now integrate a PLC-based platform with full connectivity: printers, barcode and QR code readers, and external systems for secure PDF report generation with electronic signatures, fully compliant with CFR 21 Part 11. With the new CDV Pharma, these options can now be activated or upgraded even after the machine has been installed, giving laboratories greater flexibility over time.
CDV Pharma reflects how we design at DVACI: by listening to laboratories and engineering solutions adapted to real production and quality-control environments. Contact us for a demonstration video with your product or technical support.
