TMI's Model 17-77 Top Load Compression Tester assesses the strength of beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical blow-moulded containers, as well as PET bottles, tubes, cores and corrugated boxes.
It can also test the stacking strength of cases.
The tester has a maximum capacity of 8,896N/2,000lbs (907.2kg).
The performance of a container in production and transit is critical to the manufacturer.
Product failures during filling, packing, warehousing and shipping are costly and can easily be prevented when containers and finished goods are tested for top-load strength.
Top-load strength is an excellent method to optimise the necessary force required to produce deformation and failure of bottles and containers.
Top-load strength can also identify thinned areas in the wall of the bottle, resulting in poor wall-thickness distribution.
The Model 17-77 Compression Tester meets international standards and corporate testing methods for compression strength requirements for a variety of materials and products.
A new enhanced microprocessor design with servo motor provides precision force and position control for repeatable instrument performance.
