How does Presto bursting strength tester works?

The packaging industry has seen a shift in recent years towards corrugated boxes, which offer a number of advantages over other materials. Corrugated boxes are widely used in the packaging industry makes easy for the customers to deliver the product accurately. One of the most important benefits of corrugated boxes is their high bursting strength, which means they can support a greater weight without tearing or breaking. This makes them ideal for packaging products that are fragile or heavy. Thus, taking the bursting strength test with Presto bursting strength tester serves to be useful for your packaging industry.

This is one of the highest quality lab testing instruments that will help you to test the bursting strength of corrugated boxes, fiberboards, paper boards, etc. Thus, you can easily make use of this high-quality box burst tester to ensure that your boxes will not get burst during transit or storage.
 
Here we are going to provide you the information about the working of the Presto bursting strength tester and how this lab testing instrument works. But before that, let’s focus on the use of bursting strength tester in the packaging industry.
 

Use of bursting strength tester in the packaging industry

Corrugated boxes are also more resistant to environmental conditions such as heat and humidity. This makes them less likely to warp or degrade over time, ensuring that your products remain well-protected during storage and transit. As a result, it is no surprise that corrugated boxes are becoming increasingly popular in the packaging industry.
 
Despite its importance, the testing of the bursting strength of corrugated boxes is often overlooked in favor of more easily measurable indicators like edge crush resistance. However, bursting strength testing provides crucial information about a corrugated box's ability to protect its contents from damage. In addition, bursting strength is affected by a variety of factors, including board grade, flute size, and liner type. As a result, it is essential to carefully consider all of these factors when selecting the right corrugated material for your needs.

Working of Presto bursting strength tester

Presto bursting strength tester is one of the accurate lab testing equipment that offers the maximum load range of 1000 kgf to test your corrugated box with ease. By using this lab testing instrument, you can easily evaluate the quality of packaging. Now, let us focus on the steps to operate this lab testing equipment.
 
  • Before commencing the test, you need to prepare the specimen first. After that, start the machine by plugging the machine into a 15 amp, 220 Volts AC.
  • Place the specimen on the platform in the center and parallel to the compression plate.
  • Make sure that the specimen is placed in the center of the plate otherwise, the test results would not be correct. Mark points are provided.
  • Bring the compression plate near the specimen by moving the rotary switch in a downward direction. Users can make use of the fast runner option to take the compression plate just above the test specimen with an increased speed of 50 mm/min.
  • Apply a preload of 1 or 2 kgf on the specimen to remove any air gap between the compression plate and the specimen.
  • After that, you can easily commence the test.
In this way, you can easily commence the test using Presto bursting strength tester. If you want to conduct a FREE sample testing session then just give us a call at +91 9210903903 or email us at info@prestogroup.com. We will assist you with all your queries.
