Bottle closures are the most integral part of bottle manufacturing they are designed to help consumers safeguard the fluid or perishable content in the containers from getting contaminated due to overexposure to the environment. These bottle closures or caps enhance the sealing abilities by terminating contact with the natural environment with the perishable or flammable fluid packed inside the bottle.
These bottle closures are different for every bottle and for variable fluids as detergents & liquid soaps that are comparatively thicker in nature are topped with press-to-dispense caps or push caps, and fluids like aerated drinks are tightly sealed with screw caps to avoid the leakage of fizz and ensure maximum consumer satisfaction, fluids that are flammable in nature are equipped with child-resistant caps like deodorants & perfumes.
It is highly important to get these caps intact and perfectly figured to ensure maximum consumer satisfaction and also for the prevention of major jeopardies that can be caused by faulty installation or leakages.
As manufacturers, it becomes crucial to avoid such uncertainties as soon as possible in the production process or at least before the product is out in the market for consumption as it can cause huge losses to the brand or the manufacturer. Assisting manufacturers in avoiding such issues is the prime job of the Presto Group and that is why the company brings another high-end technologically-driven lab testing instrument to the table – torque tester.
The bottle cap torque tester is equipped with an advanced testing mechanism that simplifies the operation and allows the operator to perform each & every task with utmost ease & facile. Such a simplistic working mechanism is the reason for manufacturers to trust this top-quality lab testing instrument in evaluating the torque required for opening the closures of variable types.
How to Open Bottle Closures with the Torque Tester
The Torque Tester is equipped with a digitally working mechanism that enhances the accuracy levels to a greater level and helps the operator conduct the tests in an adept & quick manner.
-
To initiate the testing of bottle closures or caps, the first and foremost step is to analyze the different kinds of bottle caps that can be tested as the instrument is designed to perform the assessment over child-resistant bottle caps, push-to-dispense closures, press-on caps, and screw caps.
-
After selecting the bottle closures the operator also has to make sure that the size of the bottom of the bottle is not bigger than the diameter of the base plate and that it can fit in between the knobs of the bottle cap torque tester.
-
The operator can now remove the safety key or the safety latch that is installed to prevent the unnecessary movement of the base plate that might affect the results of the test if not performed from its original state. The safety latch also enables the operator or the manufacturer to port the instrument from one place to another.
-
The operator can now place the specimen – the bottle or the container in the middle of the base plate and the four tightening knobs. After placing the specimen precisely, the rotary wheel instilled in the instrument allows the operator to clamp the specimen firmly in order to ensure no movement of the bottle or the container during the course of testing. The rotary wheel is moved in a cyclic motion to clamp the specimen.
-
After clamping the specimen firmly, the operator can easily open the bottle closure of the selected type with bare hands and no machine. The opening of a bottle closure requires a certain amount of angular force, the force that will be exerted by the operator is indicated on the microprocessor-based digital display attached to it, allowing the operator to keep track of the results and analyze them critically to make sure whether the bottle closure aligns with necessary compliances for the digital torque meter or not.
This is how the torque testing machine simply performs and evaluates the rotating force required to open the bottle caps & closures. However, even after the simplistic working mechanism, there are numerous questions that take place among the consumers of the instrument. Let’s learn more about the torque tester by adhering to these questions & answers by the Presto Group.
Questions & Answers – Torque Tester
Ques. Why is it mandatory for manufacturers from the bottle & container industry to evaluate the torque required for opening bottle caps?
Ans. It is extremely crucial to assess & ascertain the angular force required to open bottle closures as the margin of the perfect bottle closure tightening is extremely fine because the scope of over-tightening and under-tightening is too broad and can cause consumer dissatisfaction or leakage respectively.
Ques. What are the favorable features integrated within the torque testing machine that aid manufacturers in trusting the instrument?
Ans. The digital torque meter is offered with outstanding features that are necessary to perform the testing seamlessly. The instrument is equipped with a safety latch that curtails the movement of the base plate for more precision-based test results. the instrument is also offered with a rotary wheel for clamping the specimen with the four tightening knobs as well as a microprocessor-based digital display that is associated with the control panel and governed by feather touch controls for streamlining the testing process to a greater extent.
