A Dart Impact Tester evaluates the impact resistance of plastic films or sheets by dropping a hemispherical dart from a controlled height. This test measures the energy needed to puncture or tear the material, providing essential data to ensure packaging integrity during handling, shipping, and storage. The testing process typically adheres to international standards like ASTM D1709.
Plastic films find extensive use in the packaging sector owing to their pliability, resilience, and inert properties. They are the preferred choice of numerous packaging manufacturers striving to ensure precise product delivery to consumers. Evaluating these films by subjecting them to falling dart tests is a crucial quality assurance procedure mandated by manufacturers. To meet this demand for quality assessment, Presto offers the Dart Impact Tester Robo 2.0, a high-quality lab testing instrument. As a renowned manufacturer in this field, Presto provides this testing equipment at competitive prices, ensuring industry-leading quality and affordability.

A Dart Impact Tester is a lab testing machine used to measure the impact resistance or toughness of plastic films, sheets, or packaging materials. It works by dropping a weighted dart from a certain height onto the test sample. If the dart punctures the material, it helps determine how much force the material can take before failing. It’s widely used in quality control for packaging industries to ensure that materials won’t tear or break under pressure.
There’s no significant difference—dart tester is just a shorter, more casual way to refer to a dart impact tester. Both terms are used interchangeably in the industry. No matter what you call it, the machine serves the same purpose: evaluating the durability of plastic films or sheets against sudden impact.
Start by considering the type of materials you need to test and the level of precision required. Look for a dart tester that meets recognized standards (like ASTM), and make sure it suits the volume and frequency of your testing needs. Also, keep in mind the dart impact tester price should match your budget, but don’t compromise on quality or accuracy for cost savings.
The dart impact tester price depends on several factors, such as the build quality, testing standards supported, digital features, automation level, and the brand. Basic manual models can be relatively affordable, while advanced computerized versions with detailed data logging and touchscreen interfaces come at a higher cost. It's always good to compare features, warranty, and after-sales service before making a purchase.
The dart tester is mainly used for testing thin plastic films and flexible sheets. However, depending on the model, some testers might also be suitable for other lightweight materials. Always check with the manufacturer to see what your specific model is rated for.

We all know that friction testing is considered to be a crucial aspect of quality control, especially in the case of flexible packaging films. The co-efficient of packaging can significantly impact how easily the package will slide or move during transit. A low COF can cause the package to slide too easily, risking damage to its contents. Conversely, a high COF can make the package difficult to handle, potentially causing delays.
