Quality Checks


We perform many QA checks on line during the bottling and packaging process. Some examples of these are as follows:

  • Extensive sterilisation and sanitation processes and microbiological verifications.
  • Regular dissolved oxygen.
  • Taste-ins on commencement of each run or following sterilisations.
  • Screw cap torque and bubble testing.
  • Average fill volume checks.
  • Vacuity (headspace) measurement.
  • In bottle vacuum checks (cork closures).
  • Label gap and height checks.
  • First complete carton, total inspection against work order.

Numerous other checks are performed with the aim to provide a dependable quality assured process and thereby offer our customers peace of mind that with Ozpak their product is in safe hands.
