Box Compression Tester - Digital Cum Computerised

Box compression tester is the most widely used tools in the packaging industry. It is used for testing the stacking load bearing capacity of the boxes. By determining the compressive strength of the box, the manufacturers can estimate the potential to sustain the warehousing and transportation conditions. Apart from cartons, it can be used to test the beehive crates, paper tanks, paper cases etc. Compressive strength further decides the weight range of the packing. The machine comes with a motorised arrange and can be used to perform the creep test or to adjudge the compressive strength of the box.

It is a very simple to operate machine and comes with computer connectivity. This means that this machine can be connected and operated with computer, dual communication. The machine comes with a rigid dual column structure and it has one movable plate. The specimen to be tested is kept in the platform and the movable plate applied a compressive force on the box. The load cell is used to apply the load. Sensors will determine the pressure that is exerted on the box. The electrical signals are processed and displayed on the bright LED scree in human readable form. The data can be logged and transferred in to the computer in graphical format.

If you want to test the compression strength of your corrugated box with the help of our box compression tester computerized cum digital model, then you need to start by preparing the specimen first. For this, you can take the corrugated box that you want to test and close all the sides of the corrugated box properly and apply tapes on the sides to fasten them firmly. Once you correctly prepare your testing specimen, then you need to start this testing machine by plugging it in 15 amp, 220 Volts AC. After that turn the machine ON. When the machine gets turned ON then place the specimen on the platform in the center and parallel to the compression plate. Make sure that the specimen is placed in the center of the plate otherwise the test results would not be correct. Mark points are provided. Bring the compression plate near the specimen by moving the rotary switch in a downward direction. Users can make use of the fast runner option to take the compression plate just above the test specimen with an increased speed of 50 mm/min. Apply a preload of 1 or 2 kgf on the specimen to remove any air gap between the compression plate and the specimen. After that, you can commence the test.
