Ensure Best Strength of Corrugated Sheets with Edge Crush Tester

Ensure Best Strength of Corrugated Sheets with Edge Crush Tester

The popularity of corrugated sheets has increased in the industrial world because of their design forms and many benefits against plain sheets. Corrugated sheets can bear strong impacts from objects falling onto them. This feature makes them durable and impact resistant.

Protection from environmental effects such as dust, contaminants, and moisture must be ensured before the dispatch of packaging boxes.

Packaging industries use corrugated sheets for wooden packaging and as an alternative to paperboards. A lot of grocery stores, booksellers, and gift sellers use corrugated boxes for packing. The medical industry utilizes corrugated sheets for packaging of medical equipment. As the corrugated sheets and boxes are used for such critical applications, it is essential that the strength and quality of the sheets is measures using proper testing instruments such as edge crush tester.

Edge crush test is used to measure the cross-section crushing strength of corrugated paper and cardboard. The output of the test provides necessary information regarding the quality and ability of the corrugated material against crushing forces. The test results obtained from edge crush testing device can be used to understand the protective capabilities and get information on the resistance against the crushing forces.

Benefits of Corrugated Sheet Edge Crush Tester

• Ensures safety measures of a box during transportation.
• Determine the appropriate weight that can be applied to the corrugated box.
• Ensure protection of contents within the packages for a good quality result.

Edge Crush Tester - Method to use
The instrument offers an easy to use method by placing the test sample of corrugated material on the clamps of the apparatus. The force is applied on the wall of the corrugated sheet with a pre-determined pressure and speed. The strength is measured and helps in understanding the quality of walls of corrugated material that has to face crushing force during transportation.

Edge Crush Test ensures the exact outcome and gives adequate information about the sample material. The instrument by Pacorr offers the manufacturers of packaging materials in ensuring that they are using the materials of best quality for their products.

The instrument is designed as per standards prescribed by reputed authorities such as ASTM and ISO. The User-friendly instrument offers highly reliable results that give an accurate idea about the corrugated material’s strength at the time of stacking and shipping. Pacorr helps its customer to and guarantee the protection of the goods.
