17-50 Box Compression Tester 22kN

Box Compression Tester photo.

INTRODUCTION

The Box Compression Tester provides the most accurate means of determining the top-to-bottom strength of packages. This system is specifically designed to quantify box performance so that the effect of various board mediums, closures and interior partitions can be factually compared by means of “Load Sharing” analysis. Production line variations can be easily bench marked against design standards. The tester is easy to operate because standard test routines are fully automated.
