Availability: In Stock
Shipping location: All over the world
Brand: Testing Instruments

Presto’s Box Compression Tester is used to determine the compression strength or stacking potential of cartons, paper tanks, beehive crates, paper cases, etc. It is designed specially to calculate the compression strength of the box and the weight range chosen to completely crush with a predetermined load for a given time period to estimate stacking load with the help of motorized arrangement.

Box compression tester is a rugged instrument with user-friendly controls. Cardboard boxes should have an adequate compression potency so that they do not get crushed when placed one above the other during storage. The Compression strength – BCT of a box can be determined by placing a carton on a rigid metallic base plate and pushing it down from the top with the help of concurrent movable plate. The instrument is available with digital indicator and with a pre-fitted computer system to measure the strength digitally and in graphical format respectively.

A carton compression tester is essential for evaluating the compression resistance of corrugated packaging and ensuring its load bearing capacity during shipping and storage. This advance packaging compression tester applies uniform pressure on the box to determine its stacking load strength and durability under real-world conditions.

Manufacturers rely on a box strength tester to enhance packaging quality assurance, reduce transit damage and comply with industrial testing standards. The machine is widely used in the packaging industry, logistics, and e-commerce sectors to test the durability of shipping boxes and prevent product damage.

A high quality compression testing machine ensures that carton load testing is precise and reliable. with advanced digital controls , it provides accurate compression resistance measurements , helping businesses improve corrugated packaging testing processes.

Investing in a box compression testing machine is crucial for companies looking to enhance their packaging durability and maintain high standards in quality control. Whether for small or large-scale operations, this equipment ensures that stacking load tests meet industry benchmarks, providing peace of mind for manufacturers and suppliers.

Box Compression Tester: Working Principle and Operation

A Box Compression Tester measures the compressive strength of packaging materials like corrugated boxes and cartons. It works by applying a uniform compressive force on the box until it deforms or collapses. The test simulates real-world stacking conditions, ensuring the box can withstand shipping and storage loads. The machine consists of a compression plate, load cell, and digital display to record force readings. Operators place the box on the platform, set test parameters, and initiate the test. The system provides precise results, helping manufacturers improve packaging quality and durability, reducing transit damage, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
