Model : PCT – 100 (C)

An Edge Crush Tester is a device that measures the edgewise compressive strength of a corrugated board to evaluate its stacking and load-bearing capability. ECT is a specialized testing instrument widely used in the packaging, corrugated boxes, and paper industries. This property is critical in assessing how much weight a box can support when stacked, making it essential for shipping and storage applications.

 

What It Does? 

An Edge Crush Tester measures the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated cardboard to determine its durability and stacking strength, helping assess packaging quality and ensure reliable performance during transportation.

Applications of the Edge Crush Tester 

  • Corrugated Box Manufacturing: ECT is essential in predicting the box’s stacking strength.
  • Quality Control in Paper Mills: Ensures consistent material strength across batches.
  • Packaging Design Validation: Assists in optimizing flute design and board composition.
  • Transport and Logistics: Helps determine the packaging durability under transit stress.

Benefits of Edge Crush Tester

  • Ensures high structural integrity of packaging.
  • Reduces packaging failures during stacking and shipping.
  • Minimizes material wastage by enabling data-driven board selection.
  • Enhances compliance with international packaging standards.

Why Choose Edge Crush Tester?

Choosing an Edge Crush Tester is crucial for businesses aiming for precision packaging quality. It provides quantifiable data that improves product safety, customer satisfaction, and cost efficiency. Modern ECT machines also feature digital displays, automatic data recording, and programmable settings for enhanced usability and repeatability.

Coefficient of Friction Tester Digital

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.
