Digital Carton Packaging Container Pressure Resistance Tester Accurate Carton Stacking Strength Measurement

Introduction to the Box Compression Tester

The Box Compression Tester is an essential tool for evaluating the strength and durability of various packaging materials. Designed for laboratory use, this advanced tester measures the ability of cartons, boxes, and other containers to withstand compressive forces. Whether dealing with metal, wood, corrugated fiberboard, solid fiber cardboard, or plastics, the Box Compression Tester ensures that your packaging meets rigorous strength and performance standards.

Why You Need a Box Compression Tester

Compressive resistance is crucial for assessing how well shipping containers and packaging can endure the stresses of storage and transportation. The Box Compression Tester provides valuable insights into how containers perform under compressive forces, which can impact the protection of contents during handling and shipping. By evaluating the compressive strength of different containers or comparing containers with varying designs and constructions, you can ensure that your packaging solutions offer optimal protection.

Key Features of the Box Compression Tester

• Touch Screen Operation: The Box Compression Tester features a user-friendly touch screen interface for intuitive operation and real-time data display.
• Advanced Measurement System: Equipped with a microcomputer processing system, the tester offers automatic measurements, intelligent result analysis, and self-return functionality.
• Data Collection and Reporting: Auto data collection and computing, along with an embedded micro printer, provide detailed results and documentation of compression tests.
• Versatile Testing Modes: The tester includes three operational modes: strength testing, fixed value testing, and stacking testing, allowing for comprehensive evaluation of packaging performance.
• Precision Mechanics: A synchronous motor and accurate thread lead screw drive system ensure precise and consistent test results.

Principle of Operation

The Box Compression Tester operates by placing a container between two flat platens. The lower platen moves mechanically to compress the container, and the system measures and records the force and deformation (deflection) required for compression. This process helps determine the container's ability to withstand external compressive forces.

Applications of the Box Compression Tester

This tester is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Shipping Containers: Testing boxes, drums, and other shipping containers with or without contents.
• Packaging Materials: Evaluating corrugated paper boxes, plastic barrels, paper cans, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
• Industrial Use: Ideal for industries such as packaging, food and beverages, cosmetics, and more, where container strength is crucial.

FAQs

1. What industries need a Box Compression Tester?

The Box Compression Tester is essential for industries that require robust packaging solutions, including packaging, food and beverages, cosmetics, and more. It is used to test various types of containers and packaging materials to ensure they meet strength and durability standards.

2. What is a compressive strength tester and how is it performed?

A compressive strength tester measures the ultimate compressive strength and deformation of a container. The test involves applying increasing load until the container fails or reaches predetermined values for load or displacement.

3. What is a fixed value test and how is it performed?

A fixed value test measures the performance of a container under a predetermined load or displacement. The container is placed on the lower platen, and the load is applied until the specified value is reached.

4. What is a stacking test and how is it performed?

A stacking test simulates the conditions of stacking in a warehouse. The container is subjected to a predetermined load for a specified period (usually 24 hours) to assess its performance under stacked conditions.
