Testing & Quality

ASEPT is committed to the highest level of quality in our products. Discover the journey our dispensers and pumps undergo, from concept to reality.

ENSURING QUALITY – FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY 

At ASEPT, food safety is our top priority, and it shapes every aspect of our operations. We recognize the importance of delivering dispensers that are durable and accurate but also meet the applicable legislation for materials and construction. Our dispensers must be safe and robust to serve perfect portions in high-usage environments day-in-day-out.  

Before our innovative solutions reach production, they undergo a meticulous journey from concept to reality. This ensures our dispensers exceed expectations in functionality and durability. 

INSIDE OUR QUALITY ENGINEERING JOURNEY

Here’s a glimpse into how we ensure the highest standards of quality in our innovative solutions:  

Rapid Prototyping: Accelerating Custom Solutions

In our pursuit of excellence, we utilize a state-of-the-art, large-scale 3D printer. This technology revolutionizes development by enabling in-house prototyping of intricate pump parts and full-scale dispenser housings. Beyond bringing ideas to life for visualization, it allows us to expedite the crucial phases of function and feasibility testing. The precision of our 3D printer empowers us to create intricate details with unmatched accuracy, putting us at the forefront of innovation more efficiently than ever before. 

Successfully Completing 1 Million Test Strokes 

Newly developed pump and dispenser solutions undergo rigorous evaluation in our testing fixture. To gain approval for production, products and components need to endure a stroke test. This involves multiple prototypes subjected to 1 million strokes of liquid passing through the dispensing system. The stroke test is critical to ensuring only the highest-quality solutions progress to production. 

Laboratory Tests for Outstanding Functionality

Within our cutting-edge laboratory, we conduct various tests to assess dispenser and pump functionality. Notable assessments include the “pumpability” test of new products. This may be a condiment, dressing, jam with particulates or even honey.

Now that we’ve shared a glimpse into our testing procedures, let’s turn our attention to certifications. These are a testament to our commitment to excellence, confirming our dedication to delivering dispensers and pumps that surpass industry standards.

ADA 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law in the United States, that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in their daily activities. Similar to other civil rights laws, the ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability, just as it does for race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The purpose of the ADA is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same access to employment opportunities, purchase goods, and services and participate in state and local government programs as everyone else.  

In line with this, our dispensers are designed and tested to meet ADA requirements specified in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
