Test Quality of Carbonated Bottles

Test Quality of Carbonated Bottles Using Bottle Shaker/G V Shaker

Carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide under pressure. In an unopened bottle or can, there is an equilibrium between the carbon that has been dissolved into the liquid and the carbon gas floating at the very top of the bottle. The carbonated drinks inside the packaged bottle are transported to places with extreme climates. The liquid expands when it freezes, creating extreme pressure inside the packaged bottle. Materials such as plastic bottles can expand and retract safely, but carbonated beverages in glass bottles tend to burst when exposed to freezing temperatures for extended period (Beverages Testing Instruments).

The bottles packaged with drinks must be secured with a reliable closure to avoid explosion during transit. Shipping containers must be strong enough to protect the contents inside. It is important to test the quality of the packaging bottles by simulating the accurate environment of shaking the bottles. Manufacturers and suppliers of PET bottles need to use an accurate testing machine that can analyse the behaviour of the test sample in a controlled environment. At the time of transportation, the bottles are subjected to immense pressure at different climate conditions. The testing instrument recreates the condition to test whether the PET bottles can bear the pressure during transportation.

Soda’s carbon dioxide causes bubbles that tend to escape while shaking. Carbonated soft drinks bottles contain carbon dioxide under pressure in a dissolved liquid form. Due to the dissolved carbon dioxide gas in them, it gives a tangy taste. This gas expands rigorously when shaken and hence starts expanding. The expansion of gases is not good for the safety of the bottles as it causes an explosion of these bottles. This explosion of the bottles can be a great threat to the quality of the aerated drinks. Manufacturers need to ensure the quality and strength of the bottles that are used in various industry verticals for packaging these drinks and hence need to test their strength against shaking.

Pacorr offers various testing instruments to check the quality of bottles, our Bottle Shaker/ G V Shaker is one the best testing machines which is a mechanical and motorised testing instrument used to automate the shaking of the bottle samples to stimulate the carbon dioxide present in the test sample. Built with high-quality rugged structure and is completely rust-free. The stainless-steel fabricated testing machine can be operated single-handed without any hassle. The speed of shaking can be controlled with the help of speed controller.
