A Top Load Tester evaluates the vertical compression strength of containers such as bottles, jars, and cartons. It applies a downward force until the product deforms or collapses. This test ensures that packaging can withstand stacking pressure during shipping and storage, preventing structural failure and maintaining product integrity throughout the supply chain.
The Top Load Tester is an advanced, fully automatic motorized device designed to measure compressive buckling load in a digital format. Its digital display is not only visually appealing but also sophisticated, ensuring easy readability. Key features include an Auto Tare (ZERO) set facility and a Peak Hold arrangement.
This next-generation Top Load Tester is equipped with an automatic and motorized system that provides precise digital readings of compressive buckling load. The load sensor can be calibrated in-house to guarantee accurate measurements. For secure gripping, the bottle is positioned between inverted concave jaws to prevent slipping. The machine can be switched off easily by the operator once buckling is detected in the PET bottle.
Specifically designed for assessing the load-bearing capacity of PET containers under extreme top loads, the Top Load Tester accurately determines the maximum load a PET container can endure without deforming or failing.
A top load tester is a testing machine used to measure how much vertical force a bottle or container can handle before it starts to deform or collapse. It's an essential quality control tool in the packaging industry, especially for plastic containers like PET bottles. This kind of test helps ensure the bottles won't buckle under pressure during storage or transport.
A top load tester for bottles applies a controlled downward force on the bottle from the top. The machine gradually increases the pressure until the bottle starts to distort or break. The tester then records the maximum load the bottle can bear, which helps manufacturers design stronger, safer packaging.
While top load testers can be used for many types of bottles, a top load tester for PET bottles is specially calibrated for the properties of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. PET bottles are widely used for beverages, so they need to be strong but lightweight. This tester ensures PET bottles can withstand stacking pressure without compromising the product inside.
A digital top load tester offers more precision and user-friendly features compared to a manual version. With digital readouts, automatic data recording, and customizable test settings, you get consistent and accurate results. It’s ideal for companies that require detailed reporting and higher testing efficiency.
Start by considering the type of bottles or containers you produce. If you’re working specifically with PET bottles, look for a top load tester for PET bottles that includes precision load cells and digital features. A digital top load tester is a smart investment if you need reliable data tracking and repeatable tests.
