Are you unable to reach precision in your packaging?

Packaging is a crucial step in the production process. By investing huge amounts on packaging and still incurring losses can be harmful to the manufacturer’s profit margin. To minimize your costs and maximize your profit margin, packaging precision must be achieved. For this very reason, Presto brings you the all-new Bursting Strength Tester. This instrument has been intelligently designed by our engineers to meet all your requirements. From, applying hydraulic pressure to bursting it to precision- the Bursting Strength Tester assesses the packaging durability.

Presto’s Bursting Strength Tester is both digital and computerized making it a reliable tool with its pneumatic clamping. It has a wide testing range from materials such as Rexene and leather to industrial fabrics amongst others. It ensures the longevity of both the packaging and the product.

Features
The Bursting Strength Tester can accurately measure the rupturing resistance of the sample. This is done by applying hydraulic pressure (expressed in Kg/cm²), through a

rubber diaphragm.

It includes the following main features-

Hydrostatic mechanism
The sample could range from being made of paper, or corrugated sheet to even mono carton. This sample is placed well in the clamper’s size to yield accurate results. Thus, movement must be avoided which is ensured by securing the sample on the diaphragm with a carved clamper.
Control Panel
For high testing accuracy, the material’s bursting strength is shown and recorded on the control panel. The Bursting Strength Tester is activated with the control panel’s rotary switch which causes the diaphragm to expand by injecting glycerine beneath it. This applies pressure on the sample promoting it to burst and produce a distinct pop sound.

Memory Button
For enhanced understanding and analysis of results; the tester can hold up to nine test readings. A mathematical formula based on the bursting strength helps assess the bursting factor of the sample tested. Hence, providing deeper insights into the functionality of the packaging and materials used.
Thus, The corrugated fiberboard receives the pressure which is measured using a digital indicator. This CBF is graded making it indispensable in testing materials of various industries.

Benefits

Durability
Both the neoprene rubber diaphragm and corrosion-resistant metal base plate provide longevity to the instrument and uniform performance. Hence ensuring product integrity for your consumers and its credibility.
User Friendly
Features such as a digital display, memory hold button, and ergonomic design make it function and enhance the overall experience. Thus making it efficient and user-friendly at the same time.
Versatility
Presto’s Bursting Strength Tester can test a variety of materials, making it suitable for diverse industries, from packaging to textiles, and more.
Cost Savings

Often rigid materials are used for outer packaging in global shipments and these corrugated boxes get easily damaged. Transport stresses such as overloading, stacking, water absorption, extreme weather conditions, and drops or falls may be experienced. Thus, The Bursting Strength Tester prevents incurring huge losses by highlighting any weaknesses in the packaging and materials used.

Thus, leading brands trust Bursting Strength Tester manufacturer : Presto. Especially it’s four decades of experience when it comes to testing their packaging and materials. The Bursting Strength Tester is the ideal addition to your production process to enhance the packaging quality, avoid product damage, and achieve satisfied consumers.

Maintenance for The Bursting Strength Tester
If the equipment is damaged it can be immediately replaced to maintain accurate test results. Every week lubrication and fluid levels must be checked. To ensure smooth operation- lubrication of moving parts such as clamping mechanisms must be done. The glycerine or hydraulic fluid levels in the tester must be verified to avoid any leakages by following the manufacturer's guidelines.

The Monthly maintenance should include calibration checks along with inspecting Electrical Connections. Any corroded parts or loose connections must be fixed to avoid any disruptions in the testing process. Every quarter cleaning and software updates must be maintained to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. Professional servicing and NABL calibration can be conducted as annual maintenance.

Other general tips and safety precautions include the following -

Follow the Manufacturer's Guidelines
Genuine parts recommended by the company
Record keeping for better performance
Turn off power when not in use
Trained personnel for maintenance tasks
