Cone Crush Tester - Digital

If you are looking for the best testing instrument that will help you evaluate the strength of paper cones then the Presto cone crush tester is designed for you. This is one of the amazing testing instruments that provide high-quality and reliable testing procedures to evaluate the crushing strength of cones. We know that paper cones are used in many industries. The load and compression forces will be applied to these cones to ensure about its quality. You can easily test the strength of cones composed of cardboard, paper tubes, bobbins, and other types of cone packing material. The functioning of the machine is dependent on the principle of the radial crush test method. Unlike other testing machines, this equipment is constructed in a way that the force generated is put to 66% of the testing sample surface. The machine delivers such a precision degree that even a minute collapsing load can be easily recorded and saved. The accuracy in the inspection is obtained with a Load cell and Microprocessor-based digital indicator which is installed with the machine.

This testing instrument is widely used in the packaging industry to check the nature of the paper cone. This testing instrument has been designed in such a way that the slowly expanding power is produced to test the quality of cones. The sharp and crumbling point of the cone will be assessed with load cell and microprocessor-based load indicator. Since this testing machine can easily measure the compression load, therefore, no estimations will be required and henceforth the readings will be immediate and precise. We understand that as a cone manufacturer, you need to take care of various essential factors that will influence the strength of the paper cone by the user. Also, the manufacturers need to understand the effect of each variable quantitatively. However, it will be easy for both manufacturers and users to distinguish between good and bad quality cones. This can all be done with the help of the Presto cone crush tester that is considered to be an appropriate testing instrument for monitoring the quality of the paper cone.

This reliable and user-friendly testing equipment will create a force that will be increased gradually and is exerted from the surface of the paper cone. The collapsing point of the cone will be calculated with the help of this testing instrument using a load cell and chip-based indicator. With the help of this testing machine, you will be able to take the flat crush test and radial crush test. In the flat crush test, the sample will be pressed horizontally between two flat platens and you will be able to record the collapsing point. This test will be applicable to the core pipe which will be used as a packaging medium i.e. the product is packed inside the tube and multiple tubes will be kept on one another. 

It creates a tube-to-tube pressure and creates the flattened cores.

Another test that you can take with the help of this cone crush tester is the radial crush test. In this process, the sample will be pressed horizontally between two curved platens and the collapsing point will be recorded. These platens will remain tightened per every single as per every single different core size. You can easily conduct this test on the core pipe that will be used as a winding medium or the carrier. Thus, this testing machine has been made with suitable standards to monitor the quality of the paper cone. No calculations will be required while testing, therefore the readings will be direct and more exact.

Presto cone tester is one of the most effective testing instruments that will help you to evaluate the strength of paper cones with suitable industry standards. Thus, to operate this testing machine, you need to prepare the sample first by taking a cone made of cardboard or corrugated sheet. The specimen must be placed according to the dimension of the template given for the Cone Crush Test provided with the machine. To operate this testing machine, you can easily start it by plugging it in 5 amps, 220 Volts AC. After that, turn the machine ON. You can easily place the specimen between the compression plates according to the type of test you want to perform. To perform the cone crush test, place the cone crush test fixture with the erected cone of the specimen facing the upper compression plate. Once you follow all the necessary steps, you can then commence the test. In this way, you can easily perform the test and make necessary changes in your product to improve its quality.
