Test instruments for the repeatable measurement of thickness, friction and shrink properties of plastic film.
Accurate control of these parameters can lead to a reduction in raw material costs. Visual control of haze and rub resistance of materials.
Sample preparation of plastic film for many test types.
Quality control test instruments for improving packaging speeds.
Measure carton crease and board stiffness, whole carton opening force and experiment to find the correct crease profile with the carton crease proofer.
Sample preparation of individual creases and whole cartons for testing.
Featured Product
The Advanced Friction Tester is our top the range instrument for measuring static and dynamic COF. Featuring a unique sled placement system to increase the repeatability of static friction results and control dwell time, It is the ideal choice for the measurement of flexible packaging materials including film, paper and board. The friction tester tests to variety of standards including ISO 8295 and ASTM D1894 and also features the ability to create custom test routines with full graphical analysis of results and has the ability to conduct to other tests including tear test, peel strength, blocking testing and box closing force test..
Friction testing is used in the packaging industry to measures the slip resistance of a product, with the aim of predicting feeding and running speed on an automatic gluing, erecting, filling or packaging line.
