Advantages of Using Box Compression Testers (BCT)

Compression is experienced by the packaging boxes, contained and packets at the time of transportation and warehousing, when they are stacked one above the other. In manufacturing units, it is therefore important to measure the compression strength of a material in a way that it can withstand various types of compression forces.

Package cartons and corrugated boxes are usually stacked one above the other to ensure that the products to eradicate the situation of mess in the warehouse. To ensure that they will not collapse, it is important to test their strength using testing equipment such as box compression testers. The compression tester or edge crush tester are a few testing devices that are used to determine the maximum load a box or carton can withstand without affecting the quality of the products that are packed inside.

Box compression equipment comprises two horizontal parallel plates. The lower plate is provided to place the sample and the upper plate is provided to exert load/compression force on the sample until it collapses. In this way, the testing machine helps to get a force deformation curve that helps to determine the compression resistance strength of a package. The instrument also provides reliable information that helps to mention the maximum compression strength of a corrugated box on the box itself.

The testing machine is uniquely designed to test the compression strength of corrugated boxes, carton to determine their stacking capability. Now, let’s talk about a few of the benefits of Pacorr’s Box Compression Tester.

Used for Wide Number of Applications -

Box compression testing machine (BCT) is manufactured keeping in mind certain national and international standards which makes it a highly reliable testing device that can be used to evaluate the ability of the samples to withstand specific loads.

For any type of finished package, the testing device can be used to measure the compressive strength and durability. Be it beehive crates, corrugated boxes, paper cases, cartons and paper tanks, you can test any packaged product using the machine.

Easy to Operate
The testing machine is easy to operate. Place the sample on the lower plate. Once the test initiates, the upper plate of the machine will move towards the sample with a specific load to apply compression force on the same, until the sample rupture. The machine will record the force/weight at which the sample collapsed. Once the system detects the breakage, the upper plate will move back to the original position.

Accurate Results
The testing machine comes fitted with a Microprocessor based display that ensures accurate test results. It also has a TARE & Peak HOLD facility. The machine is also equipped with a bright LED Display that helps to get precise readings.
