    Abstract: A method and relative apparatus for testing the tightness of a container closed by a membrane are described. The method includes steps of: submitting the container to a deforming action to increase the pressure inside the container; submitting the membrane to an abutting action to counteract the deformation of the membrane caused by the deforming action; maintaining the action of abutting the membrane at the same time as the action of deforming the container for a set period of time; interrupting the action of abutting the membrane at the end of the period of time; detecting at least one parameter related to a membrane profile when the abutting action has ceased; and comparing the at least one parameter related to the membrane profile with a predefined threshold to verify whether the tightness of the container is to be classified as defective.

    Abstract: In a transfer device and a process for discrete elements, fed in a line with a predetermined spacing, variations in the dimensions of the discrete elements resulting in a variation in a release spot included in a release segment, are absorbed by an alignment of the receiving elements. A transport device of the transfer device has receiving elements, each configured to receive a respective discrete element and moving along a transport path at a predetermined speed. The discrete elements are transported on a release device of the transfer device along a release path with a linear development. The release path has a release segment intersecting the transport path at a receiving segment of the transport path. The transport device includes a moving mechanism for the receiving elements to align the receiving elements at the receiving segment, where the release segment is superimposed on the transport path at the receiving segment.
