How Water Flossers Are Tested Before Leaving the Factory | Daring
In order to ensure that they meet all the necessary safety and quality standards, water flossers need to undergo a range of tests. This blog post will explore those questions and provide some answers.
After marketing research online, it appears that some consumers have expressed dissatisfaction with water flossers due to issues such as leakage and durability. How do you know that the water flosser you just bought is of good quality? When producing water flossers, quality control is essential for businesses to ensure the quality of their production materials, processes and products. The manufacturer can ensure the quality of their production materials and finished products via IQC, PQC, and OQC, the three critical elements of a comprehensive approach to quality control.
What are IQC, IPQC and OQC?
They are one of the roles in the quality control process. IQC (Incoming Quality Control) verifies that all incoming material meets required standards, while PQC (Process Quality Control) identifies deficiencies during manufacturing processes like confirming the first sample or standard. Lastly, OQC (Outgoing Quality Control) evaluate outgoing product outputs before they’re released from storage facilities.
But in addition to IQC, PQC and OQC, we will also focus on the following three professional inspections that every water flosser must pass before leaving the factory to ensure that it provides the best performance for global users from beginning to end.
- Water pump pressure and current detection
- Product air leak test
- Functional testing after assembly
1. Water pump pressure and current detection
The pump is the “heart” of the water flosser, so it’s important to test the pressure and current of pumps, in order to make sure they meet the standard values.
The testing process is relatively simple: the test fixture is attached to the pump, the inlet tube is inserted at the pump inlet, and the tester takes both pressure and current readings. A green light indicates that the technician can then rest assured that their equipment is performing at the level for which it was designed. However, if a red light is displayed, it indicates that necessary repairs or adjustments should be made to ensure proper operation. At this time, the workers will take out the wrong pump and report it to the leader in time.
2. Product Air Leak Test
The process of testing whether a product can be waterproof is called “product air tightness”. The inflatable forms of airtightness testing instruments and equipment for waterproofing a product allow it to be tested in four steps, inflating, holding pressure while checking for leaks by measuring how much air leaves the test product, and exhausting. Workers put the machines into the air leak tester one by one, if the green light is displayed, the test is passed.
3. Functional Testing after Assembly
This is for ensuring the quality of a product before it leaves the production line is a critical step in any manufacturing process. To ensure this, workers must perform several tests on the assembled unit, checking that all of the components are working correctly and that there are no manufacturing flaws. After the product is assembled, these tests will usually involve basic functions such as checking whether buttons work correctly or making sure that lights turn on and off when they should. Once all of these tests have been completed and acceptably passed, it’s time to move on to the next stage: packaging. This involves safely wrapping the product up so it can be sent out to customers while also avoiding any potential damage during transit. Quality control workers will often be tasked with making sure that everything from stickers to instructions are included in the packaging, ensuring customers receive a perfectly functioning unit once it reaches them.
Final thoughts
With so many brands and water flosser products on the market, it’s easy to get confused for you when choosing which ones are worth it. That is why we have made this guide with some helpful tips for you! To ensure the quality of the products, manufacturers carry out strict inspections at various stages in production and optimize them continuously. For buyers to be successful they need also to select reliable suppliers who can supply high-quality items at an affordable price point so that consumers will purchase these goods without question or hesitation. If you have any questions or concerns about these tests or would like to see relevant reports, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to assist you further.
