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.
Packaging, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries in Sri Lanka are in full boom, and it has become very necessary to ensure strength and durability for packaging materials. In the absence of a validated method to assess the strength of bottles and containers, manufacturers suffer the risk of releasing products to the market with low quality because they may get damaged during transportation or storage. The costs would go high, customers dissatisfied, and sometimes, products could cause hazards. Maintaining the integrity of packaging requires a top load tester to digitally prevent such failures from occurring and maintain an industry standard.
It is the latest machine of a test press for evaluating compressive strength and load-bearing capacities in the field of packaging products like PET bottles, plastic containers, and packaging pieces. Controlled loads are given on a sample to know its point of failure. By accurately determining the top load capacity, manufacturing will be guaranteed to have durable, reliable, and industry-compliant products.
We have been serving diversified industries like packaging, automotive, textiles, and more through our experience and expertise. Presto has always been the preferred choice of companies seeking solutions for testing solutions that meet international standards.
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.
The absence of accurate torque testing equipment creates a significant problem for Sri Lanka's manufacturing sectors, especially packaging and bottle capping. A manufacturer without a torque tester will produce bottles or containers that may not close tightly, resulting in leaks, contamination, or spoilage of the product.

Industrial plants in Sri Lanka involve relatively high growth in the packaging, automotive, and plastics industries, but manufacturers with no Magna Mike 8600 precision testing equipment face major challenges in quality control and material assessment. Some of the critical issues related to this equipment include problems with wall thickness measurement that may lead to durability and safety issues with products and bring non-compliance with industry standards.

Sri Lanka is facing a major challenge before the manufacturers and the industries handling packaging, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and food products in a way, where product safety and integrity can be ensured. In addition, companies that do not take the time to invest in a dependable solution, such as the digital vacuum leak tester, run the risk of producing defective products that do not meet industry standards.
