Determine edge-wise compressive strength of boxes with edge crush tester

Image
  The packaging industry is ever-changing and always looking for new ways to improve the way products are delivered to consumers. Corrugated boxes are considered to be an integral part of the packaging that helps the packaging manufacturers to accurately deliver the products to the customers. What if these corrugated boxes will get crushed by their edges? It will definitely lead to the loss of the product and damage to the reputation among your customers. Thus, it is important for packaging manufacturers to determine the  edge-wise compression strength  of boxes. To make it easy for the packaging manufacturers to determine the  edge crush strength,  we have designed the Presto  edge crush tester digital model . This is one of the high-quality lab testing equipment that has been based on a microprocessor display and determines the accurate compression strength of the testing specimen. With its strong gripping clamps and bright LED display, one can easily vie...

Why you should be concerned about environmental stress cracking in plastics?

Image
  Environmental  stress cracking  is one of the essential tests that can be conducted on the material to determine its sturdiness against fracture or failure when exposed to environmental factors. This quality test determines the actual working life of the test sample under environmental stress. So, if you are working in the plastic polymer industry, and are concerned about the quality of your plastic products against environmental stress, then we suggest you use the  Presto Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance tester . This is a unique test cabinet that is designed to detect the change in the physical characteristics of the plastic material and to ascertain the actual working life. The results from this test are used in environmental impact analysis, product development, and quality control. Here in this blog, we are going to discuss brief information about this  lab testing equipment  and why you should be concerned about the quality of plastics ...

How to operate the tensile strength tester efficiently?

Image
  Plastics are a material that is used in many different industries, like food, beverages, and many more to manufacture different products. Testing the quality of the plastic will determine how long the product will last. Out of various quality tests,  tensile tests  are considered to be one of the essential quality tests that will help to determine the quality of plastics when exposed to high  tensile forces.  This test can be done with the help of a quality  lab testing instrument  known as a  tensile strength tester .  Presto being the leading  lab testing instruments manufacturer   offers high-quality  tensile strength testing equipment  digital model that is based on the principle of a constant rate of the traverse. This testing instrument has been equipped with an upper and lower jaw that helps to place the specimen accurately on the machine. Here, we are going to discuss the working of a  tensile strength testi...

How you can easily calculate the peel strength of adhesives?

Image
  Adhesives play a vital role in the packaging industry. Adhesives can provide a strong bond between two materials, which can help to keep your packaging secure. They can also help to protect your packaging from moisture and other environmental factors. But what if these adhesives can get peeled off easily? This would result in damage to the product and can often lead to high product rejection rates. Thus, it is important for the manufacturers of the packaging industry to test the  peel strength  of packages. We at Presto have designed one of the high-quality  lab testing equipment  known as the  peel strength tester . This is one of the high-quality  lab testing instruments  that is used to test the  peel strength of adhesives  and other related materials. The digital model of this high-quality  lab testing equipment  is based on a microprocessor-based display to conduct accurate testing results. Besides this, it has been embe...
