Pressure Build-Up for Leak Testing
BBULL UIP is a stand-alone system that prepares filled and closed CO2-containing containers for leak control by building internal pressure. One UIP system is the standard focus; an optional second UIP system can be linked to double throughput where required.

Operating principle
Ultrasonic Sonotrode Contact
Each UIP system includes its own control unit and drives a polished stainless-steel sonotrode installed at the conveyor. The containers are transported in continuous contact with the sonotrode, while wetting nozzles create a water film to improve ultrasonic transfer.
- PerformanceUp to 36,000 cph
Benefits
- Creates internal pressure that makes pressure or liquid loss detectable by downstream inspection systems.
- Helps prevent leaking containers from moving further through production when combined with suitable control systems.
- Can double throughput by linking a second UIP system where higher line speed is required.
- Improves ultrasonic transfer through recommended wetting between container and sonotrode.
- Supports leak control in lines where pressure or product loss may otherwise appear only later in storage or sales.
Features
- Ultrasonic excitation of CO2-containing products.
- Polished stainless-steel sonotrode installed as a guide rail at the conveyor.
- Wetting nozzles above the sonotrode for a continuous water film.
- Splash-protection enclosure included in the current scope.
- Counter rail with brushes for guided object transport.
- Each UIP system includes its own control unit.
- Linkable unit concept for higher throughput requirements.
