Packaging, bottling, and shipping companies may do their business in industries where vertical load stresses cannot be avoided. Whatever is stacked between boxes, bottles, and containers, weight and pressure during storage and transit are key issues in determining product integrity. Packaging that cannot handle these forces will fail structurally and thus cause damage to the products and increased costs for correction, while safety is also compromised. It would require reliable and accurate testing equipment if businesses were to make sure that the packaging material they use can handle their load.
What is a Top Load Tester (Digital Model)?
A Top Load Tester is a piece of equipment that tests for compressive strength in the packaging materials with a primary emphasis on finding how much load a vertical load is before it collapses. It means that this device exerts a vertical force on a package (or bottle) and monitors how much force or pressure it is applied until the packaging fails or deforms. In industries like packaging, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and automotive, top load testers are extensively used.
Why Presto?
When selecting testing equipment, the most important things are reliability, precision, and user-friendliness. Presto's Top Load Tester Digital Model stands out on all these parameters. Presto delivers user-centric, high-quality, rugged, and accurate testing solutions for a variety of industries. Our models are built to last and perform consistently, withstanding high-frequency usage and giving precise and reproducible results.
Limitations and Overcoming Them
With the obvious advantages offered by the digital top load tester come various limitations, especially with very heavy or bulky items. For example, general models won't be able to test packages of unprecedented weight or size. Specifically, a customized version - load capacity models or configuration for testing specific products for certain industries - may need to be requested.
Presto has customized solutions for industries with specific testing requirements, ensuring that customers can always access the right equipment for their specific needs.
Formula and Metrics Used
The formula used to determine maximum load capacity is given by:
Maximum Load = Force Applied × Displacement at Failure
Where,
Testing Standards
The Presto Top Load Tester Digital Model complies with ASTM D7860-14 and ISO 12048 standards, which both test the compressive strength of containers and packages. They are highly accepted in many industries needing testing for packaging and load-bearing strength.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum load capacity of the digital top load tester?
Presto has digital top load testers to cater to small to very large applications, usually up to 2000 kg capacity. Be sure to check the specifications for the model to best fit your testing requirements.
2. What is so different in efficiency between digital and analog models?
The digital model offers real-time data visualization, automatic data storage, and easy analysis and report generation, reducing manual data entry errors and accelerating the testing process compared to analog models.
3. Is the digital top load tester compatible with a wide range of materials?
Yes, the digital top loaders from Presto can test a wide range of materials including corrugated fiberboard, plastic bottles, glass containers, and many more. The same pressure and force settings can be adjusted to suit the different materials.
