TLT-01 Top Load Tester
Application
Load testing is essential for ensuring the structural integrity and
reliability of packaging containers such as bottles, jars, drums,
trays, cartons, and boxes. It verifies that these containers can
withstand the stresses of stacking, shipping, and storage without
collapsing or deforming, thereby protecting the product inside.
This testing helps meet industry standards, preventing product
damage and loss, and ultimately saving costs associated with
returns and replacements. Additionally, it aids in optimizing
packaging design and material usage, ensuring a balance between
strength and efficiency, while maintaining the brand’s reputation
for quality and reliability.
Technical Features
This unit is under PLC control (with industrial-level stability)
and operated through an HMI touch screen. The use of a precision
ball lead screw mechanism ensures consistent and accurate speed and
displacement control. It features a specially designed and unique
program catering to tests of top load.
1.A 7-inch HMI touch screen for user-friendly operation.
2.PLC control for efficient functioning.
3.Precision ball lead screw for reliable results.
4.Adjustable test speed.
5.Compatibility with multiple compression plates of shape and
diameters.
6.Overload protection and automatic returning function.
7.Optional inclusion of a microprinter.
8.RS 232 port for data communication and professional software
(optional ).
Unique Programs
Peak: To measure the container crush/compressive load
Fixed Deformation: To measure the load when container is at a
deformation
Fixed Load: To measure how sample deforms under a certain load
Single Compression: To compress the container once and then analyze
Cycle Compression: To compress the container in cycles and then
analyze
Principle
Top load testing involves placing the container on the testing
platform, aligning it properly , and applying a compressive force
from the top. The force is increased gradually until the container
deforms or collapses. Tester measure the applied force and
deformation, recording the maximum force the container withstands
or the deformation the container shows at a constant load. The data
is analyzed to assess the container’s strength and performance
against predefined standards.
