Maintain Best Rigidity of PET Bottles Using Top Load Tester

Plastic bottles are a popular choice for packaging soft drinks as it has lot of benefits. Soft drinks, sauce, fruit juices and bottled water are packaged in PET plastic bottles because of their easy availability and economical value. As they are lightweight and solid, they can be effortlessly used for long travels.

Benefits of PET bottles
PET bottles are safe and do not crack even after it is shattered. It is convenient to carry for a long distance. The increasing numbers of PET plastic bottles are made from recycled PET and are convenient for on-the-go consumption and have resistance to variety of environmental conditions, hence, favourable amongst the manufacturers and suppliers.

Manufacturers need to ensure that the products reach the customers safely after bearing the forces exerted on them. As extreme pressure may occur on the bottles when they are stored and transported. These bottles can easily bend when the bottles are not strong enough to bear such forces. Beverages manufacturers must ensure that the beverage containers have enough strength to bear the capping process.

Packaging manufacturers use top-loading test to ensure packaging integrity and maintain quality. PET bottles are weak from the base and neck and deformation at these areas is normal when they are put under compression.

Why do you need a Top Load test?
The PET containers manufactured in the PET industry must undergo quality testing to ensure good quality product. The device measures the top strength of plastic bottles. As these are transported and stacked on each other, the bottles may get deformed and can lead to damages. The device measures the maximum compressive load that a bottle or container can easily bear without affecting the shape of the bottle.

The device is used for a variety of purposes such as checking the quality and strength of bottles, research and development, and so forth. The capping pressure of beverage containers should have sufficient strength to tolerate the stacking pressure.

Product Performance
The device helps ensure that bottles capable to bear the loads exerting on them during stacking for storage or transit. Storage and display of bottles in both the states i.e., empty and filled state. Extra stress is experienced when packaging is subject to movement or placed on top of each other.

Failure to meet any of the above requirements can lead to product leakage or breakage for the customer. High product returns for the manufacturers by reducing the wastage and harmful environmental impact.

We offers a highly precise Top Load Tester that helps manufacturers of PET bottles to check the quality of bottles during storage.
