Quality assurance for a production line

Description
Certain pharmaceutical products are
filled into plastic bottles with an inner
sachet, which prevents the bottle’s
contents being contaminated by bacteria
due to pressure equalization after a
dose has been removed, e.g. by a
spray pump. The best-known examples
are nasal spray bottles.
Reliable operation of these small bottles
can only be ensured if the thin inner
sachets are completely tight. To
ensure that the sachets compress under
atmospheric pressure as the contents
are removed, an extremely thin
material is required. However, thin material
is more likely to develop a leak.
Therefore, the inner sachets must be
tested carefully during production.
