Paper and Packaging Testing Instruments

Paper and Packaging Testing Instruments

Paper and packaging testing instruments are those that are used in evaluating the quality of products that are utilized as raw material in paper or packaging industries that includes different forms of paper, corrugated board, cardboard, etc. and packaging material like plastic films, foils, flexible packaging etc. 

What type of material can be tested by Paper and Packaging Testing equipment?

Primarily paper is the material to be tested by these machines, with their distinct forms like various thickness and quality of papers, those which are used for paper bags to those which are produced as tissue papers. 

In addition to this one can also test the quality of materials like poly films, flexible packaging material, plastic sheets etc. Other than this any material one can think of and used in packaging firms can be easily tested with these packaging quality testing machines.

Which type of factors or properties the paper & packaging machines can evaluate?

Quality testing machines can evaluate any type of structural or even chemical properties. They help the engineers, product designers, and manufacturers to develop a material based upon industry set standards that match their client requirements. 

Paper and packaging quality testing equipment can measure properties like resistance capacity of a packaging material against vertical compression load, bursting strength, Edge Crush Strength, Ring Crush Strength, Flat Crush Strength, Accurate measurement of paper GSM, moisture content, water retention, core compression resistance, puncture resistance, tearing strength, paper stiffness, etc. It also evaluates the real-life performances like the impact of vertical load, free-falling, constant shaking and much more. All together we deliver a comprehensive range that can test the A to Z quality of paper and packaging materials.

What kind of test equipment is available?

• Box Compression Tester - Digital - For assessment of vertical compression load on corrugated or non-corrugated cardboard boxes. It also comes in a high-end Computerized Model.
• Bursting Strength Tester- Digital - To evaluate the bursting strength or factor of cardboard, paper or cloth under uniform load application. It comes in a standard Analogue model and advanced Pneumatic - Computerized version.
• Edge Crush Tester / RCT / ECT / FCT Digital Model - It helps the user to measure the edge crush strength of corrugated or non-corrugated cardboard sheets or thick paper materials. It can also measure RCT and FCT on the same machine.
• GSM Round Cutter with Weighing Balance - It is a standard measurement of paper performed in all verticals that use paper in any form. It allows you to cut a specific standard sample of paper and measure the weight of that cut-out sample paper. It also comes in a hydraulic version.
• Moisture Meter- Delhmorst P-2000 - It helps to monitor the moisture level of packaging material like paper or cardboards both.
• Cobb Sizing Tester - It helps manufacturers analyze the water retention capacity of a paper-based material, usually cardboard.
• Core Compression Tester- Digital - It tests the core shaped packaging materials under vertical load application.
• Puncture Resistance Tester - It helps users to see the resistance of their material against sudden puncture force.
• Drop Tester - This equipment help tests the performance of a package under a free fall from a specified height.
• Tearing Strength Tester - Elmendorf - It is primarily used in both the paper and textile industry to assess the level at which the material can be torn.
• Vibration Table- It is a performance tester machine that evaluates the behaviour of the package in constant jerks.
• Paper Stiffness Tester - It helps the user to know the stiffness quality of paper
• Crease Recovery Tester - The tester helps in assessing the crease recovery quality of packaging materials.
• Colour Matching Cabinet - The CMC cabinet helps ensure that the packages are of the same and uniform colour under distinct lighting conditions.
• Laboratory Hot Air Oven - It is used to evaluate the performance of the material in extreme heat conditions.
