Quality control and inspection
Regarding quality control and inspection systems, AND&OR can offer a wide range of equipment thanks to its long experience in leak control,, for both blow molding and bottling production lines.
Our models process from 1,000 up to 48,000 bottles per hours (bph) controlling containers from 150 ml to 20 L.
Due to the great versatility of the equipment and its automatic calibration, AND&OR systems are today a reference in the market.
Leak testers for empty bottles
(pressure decay):
The linear leak testers are arranged in line over container’s conveyor can. They can be fitted with one or more heads, fixed or mobile, depending on the production required and bottle size.
Optionally weight control or camera vision systems are integrated in the leak tester machine.

The rotary leak testers are generally set up in high production lines. Its simple, strong and high electronic technology design, make it very trustworthy, sensitive and precise, allowing productions rate up to 48,000 bph.
These leak testers machines can be equipped with extra features:
Leak testers for
filled bottles:
The leak tester for filled bottles works by applying lateral pressure on the bottle as it passes through the machine, calculating the corresponding pressure gradient.
Leak tester for closed bottles (vacuum decay):
This system makes leak control on closed bottles through vacuum decay test.
Product closure inside a hermetically sealed chamber on which the vacuum is created.
