Automated CCI Tester
CCIT for BFS bottles
R DPPB
Terminal sterilization in an autoclave or with dry heat are options for achieving sterility after the filling of BFS plastic bottles. The conditions during the sterilization process can affect the shape of the bottle negatively – deformation and distortion will occur, resulting in a significant difference from the "designed" shape.
The R DPPB leak tester has been designed to compensate for such uncertainty and ensure high availability. Through its tried and tested LFC method® for detecting smallest leaks paired with a wide variety of manageable bottle sizes it is the ideal solution for 100% inline testing of BFS bottles.
High sensitivity of the LFC method®
Detection of smallest leak sizes in the entire BFS-bottle
Flexible
100% inline testing of multiple bottle formats with throughput from 1’000 up to 5’000 bottles/h
Reliable operation
Special designed transport system incl. control system
Intuitive operation
MAVIS operation system and OPC server for network integration
Our automated CCI testers for blow-fill-seal containers use the latest generation of vacuum decay testing procedures allowing a highly sensitive and robust measurement for multiple product types.
Advantages of the LFC method® for BFS
Vacuum decay and in specific the LFC method® provide several advantages for 100% high speed integrity testing of fusion sealed containers such as BFS and FFS containers. One advantage is that the entire sample is tested (full body test) while for instance, the HVLD methods allow only a partial measurement and therefore do not provide fully accountable test results.
Wide range BFS sizes and shapes
A system with this test method can be used for different products (conductive/non-conductive, flammable, sensitive...) as well as for different packaging shapes and sizes. CMOs can therefore test different products on one and the same line, so that investments in several systems can be avoided. BFS bottles with a filling volume of up to 1000 ml can be tested.
Reliable transportation
The leak testing of Large Volume Parenteral (LVP) bottles presents challenges such as container instability due to the soft and warm material right after the BFS process in combination with bottle weight. We offer various solutions for perfect inspection and careful transport.
