One of the hardest things faced by goods and packages during transporting or distribution is compression force. All manufacturing industries need to determine the ability of their materials to withstand compression force.
For example, Cardboard boxes go on one another while storing or transporting. So, to prevent this collapsing of boxes, equipment is used for measuring the box compression strength of these boxes which is termed as box compression strength tester. Compression strength is the maximum weight that a material can withstand. This compression strength of the boxes is determined by using a machine known as a box compression strength tester.
In this machine, a larger compression force is applied to the sample until it fails. It helps determine the resistance of packages. This machine is widely used for determining the deformation, compressive resistance and stacking capability of boxes and cartons. However, this machine is mainly designed for testing the strength of corrugated boxes/cartons.
Following are some benefits of box compression tester.
Easy to operate
This machine has a customized design and it is easy to operate. To test the strength of the boxes in this machine, place the corrugated box in the center of the lower plate. Begin the test and the upper plate moves downward and a heavy load is applied to the specimen. This applied force is captured. At a certain load when the specimen breaks, the upper plate will return to its initial position. Hence the compression strength can be calculated. Moreover, box compression tests manufactured by Effective Lab India are customized with different force ranges, plate sizes and load cell capacities according to the customer’s requirements.
Wide Applications
Box compression tester is manufactured by following International standards. It is used to evaluate the sample’s ability to withstand specific loads. It is used for measuring the compressive strength of corrugated boxes, cartons, paper cases and paper tanks on a wide range.
Reliable test results
This machine is equipped with a microprocessor-based display. It is best known for accurate and reliable results of tests. This machine also has a Peak HOLD and TARE facility along with an LED display with touch controls.
Keeping in view the above benefits, a Box compression tester is a beneficial tool to ensure the resistance of packages. It is also helpful in ensuring that the integrity of corrugated boxes will be maintained during handling and storage.
