Complete Guide on Performing Drop Test on Packaging Products

Do you want your boxes to withstand the external pressures especially when dropped from a certain height? Looking for a lucrative business with 100% customer satisfaction? Quality Testing is the best way out especially when you are in the packaging industry where delivering the products in good condition is the major motive of the distributors and sellers. One of the important properties of packaging products is their Drop Strength.

The dropping strength of a packaging carton is assessed when it is dropped from a certain height and with a predefined amount of force. Drop test is useful for examining the transport worthiness of cartons and other shipping containers such as solid fiber boxes and shipping containers. To examine the same, we should know that a heavy box can withstand higher drops whereas lighter boxes with less products inside can get ruptured easily.

How to test the drop strength of packages?

The best way to test the drop resistance strength of packaging boxes is using the best laboratory testing machine i.e. Drop Tester. Using the test results, you can easily enhance the quality of your boxes. The testing instruments assure precise test results as they are designed in compliance with the high-quality test standards as IS: 7028- Part IV.

The testing machine also comes with the provision of angular drop that helps you accurately measure the transport worthiness of the package from different angles. Many manufacturers use this device to measure the strength of plastic bottles also.

How does the machine work?

The testing machine is operated by dropping a test sample from a predefined height to examine the drop strength and quality of the sample. This comes with a customization facility which means you can ask the manufacturers to design a customized test machine that suits your testing requirements. Whether you want to test corrugated boxes, plastic containers, fiberboard boxes or any packed material that you drop from a certain height during loading, unloading or warehousing of that product, Drop testing machine is the device for all.

Drop impact tester has a highly durable and strong drop platform. The drop height can be adjusted as per the requirement of the sample which means that positioning can be variable but it should be within the drop range of the test machine. When a sample is dropped from a certain height the device ensures that no rotational forces will happen on the platform which ensures a flat drop of the sample.

Below are a few things that you should keep a note of:

When buying a testing machine, make sure that the device has reached your destination in perfect condition and when performing a test using a corrugated box make sure the sample is moisture-free. This will help you get highly precise test results.

Not only this, on purchase of Drop impact tester, you will get a few accessories to perform the test conveniently

  • Adjustable clamps to adjust the drop height
  • Control box to raise and pull down the drop arm
  • Provision to uplift the test platform
  • And a lot more such as guide rod, wheel, motor unit, base plate, and footrest platform.
