A Box Compression Tester (BCT) is Presto's leading tester to assess the compressive force of corrugated boxes. These boxes are commonly used in different fields for packing and shipping needs. It is crucial to maintain their quality to protect the contents while in storage and during transportation. The BCT replicates the conditions of stacking a box to help producers ensure that their packaging can withstand sudden kinds of compressive force.
The BCT functions by applying a certain amount of force on a corrugated box until it bends or falls apart. Multiple important elements and techniques assist in making this process easier. The Compressive Platform, crucial in the process, is a motorized tool that exerts pressure downwards on the box with circular lead screws to control the platform's movement and that the force is applied carefully.
Furthermore, the Computerised Mechanism with its quality technology can record important data like the maximum compression value and amount of deformation. This data can be accessed in a table format, providing manufacturers with a thorough analysis. Adequate box preparation is crucial to promise the users with precision of test results. The unit should be supplied with top-notch corrugated sheets, tightly bonded together.
It should be placed cautiously on the compression platform and tightly sealed to prevent the formation of air pockets that could affect the results. Moreover, the box should avoid contact to not experience sudden forces from internal materials on test results. By carefully following these preparation guidelines, the test will accurately reflect the actual compressive strength of the box, providing valuable information about its strength and quality. This comprehensive approach ensures that the Box Compression Tester delivers reliable and accurate results, necessary for upholding stringent packaging standards along with keeping products safe during shipping and warehousing.
There are different kinds of box compression testers (BCTs), each designed to meet distinct needs and industry specifications. The Manual Box Compression Tester allows the user to manually apply and modify force to the box, making it appropriate for smaller-scale applications. It provides an affordable alternative testing mode. The Digital Box Compression Tester has digital displays and automatic data recording, resulting in better accuracy and convenience of use. Real-time findings may be retrieved in formats including Excel and PDF for further insights. For other kinds of requirements, the Computerised Box Compression Tester has complex digital systems that accurately regulate compressive force while recording detailed data.
To improve usability, there are TARE and Peak Hold modes, over-travel protection, and feather-touch controls. The Universal Box Compression Tester manufacturer; Presto makes it flexible and capable of testing different packing materials other than corrugated boxes, making it perfect for determining the compressive strength of diverse package types. Each form of BCT is designed to fulfill specific testing needs to ensure that the packaging can withstand the stresses of handling, storage, and transportation in a variety of sectors.
Modern box compression testers have different cutting-edge features that can improve its precision, utility, and reliability. Uniform Force Application is a crucial trait that ensures pressure is evenly spread in the box, leading to consistent and accurate results. The Motorised Platform, operated by round lead screws, allows for seamless movement in tests, reducing fractures during testing.
The tester is constructed from durable mild steel and coated with a 7-layer Powder Coat to protect against corrosion and ensure lasting durability. Computerized Data Recording helps the ability of users to extract and analyze data in Excel and PDF formats, facilitating more comprehensive and effective analysis. An electronic screen powered by a microprocessor shows accurate data instantly, improving the accuracy of test results.
The TARE and Peak Hold Features allow for modifications in calculations and record the maximum compression value, including versatility and accuracy in testing mechanisms. Over Travel Protection is utilized to prevent damage from excessive movement, ensuring the safety of both the machine and the test specimens.
Furthermore, the Box Compression tester supplier - Presto includes; Feather Touch Controls to enhance user-friendliness for the operators and technicians. Together, these features help ensure that modern box compression testers are reliable, accurate, and effective functionality, crucial for evaluating the durability and lifespan of corrugated packaging.
This approach is cost-effective since it identifies and corrects flaws in package design before mass manufacturing, minimizing waste and lowering total costs. The customer experience is improved by catering with improved packaging by lowering the chances of product damage during shipment, fostering more customer security and bolstering the company's reputation. Presto's all-new box compression can ensure efficiency and accuracy along with being cost-effective benefitting both the product and the manufacturer.
It includes ASTM D4169, ISO 12048, and TAPPI T804 as performance testing requirements during transportation, to ensure that boxes can withstand drop-offs, picking, and shipment forces. ISO 12048 defines how to calculate the compressive strength of packing materials, assuring the same standards globally. TAPPI T804 focuses on corrugated fibreboard testing methods, with an emphasis on packaging quality and durability.
The Box Compression Tester has a Digital LED Display for clear readouts and an accuracy of ±2% of full scale (with master load). It runs on 220V power and is compatible with both single- and three-phase systems at 50Hz. The test speed is 12.5 ± 2.5 mm/min, and the tester has a compression capacity of 500 kg. It features a least count of 200 grams and a test platform that measures 450 x 450 mm. The machine is powered by a 1 HP Three-Phase Motor that operates at 1350 rpm for maximum efficiency.
