The cardboard box is one of the most versatile and commonly used packaging materials in the world. It's strong, lightweight, and relatively cheap to produce, which makes it ideal for a wide range of applications. In the packaging industry, cardboard boxes are used for everything from shipping products to storing materials. But what if these boxes get crushed during shipping? This will lead to damage to the products. Thus, it is important for the manufacturers to test the edge crush strength of the materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. Presto RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester has been designed to test the edge-wise compressive strength of the materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered. In this blog post, we'll take a look at the working of the Presto edge crush tester and how this lab testing equipment is useful in testing the crush strength of cardboard boxes. So, let us get started!
What is edge-wise compression strength and why it should be measured?
Cardboard boxes are an essential part of the packaging industry. They are used to package and ship a wide variety of products, from food to electronics. Cardboard boxes are strong and durable, yet lightweight and easy to handle. This makes them ideal for shipping products long distances. They can also be easily recycled or reused, which makes them environmentally friendly. But when these boxes get stacked over each other then they might get damaged easily.
Thus, testing the edge-wise compression strength of boxes is important in assuring that the quality of boxes delivered will be of high quality. To ensure the quality of cardboard boxes, the Presto edge crush testing instrument plays a vital role. This is one of the consistent lab testing instruments that measure the rigidity of CFB edgewise. The microprocessor display embedded in this lab testing instrument will let you determine the accurate testing results. RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester Digital is a consistent tool to measure the crush strength of cardboard boxes and packaging containers. PRESTO RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester is manufactured under Test Standard IS 7063. You can also provide the best quality packaging materials to the clients with the use of a Presto ECT tester. Now, let us discuss brief information about this lab testing equipment.
All about Presto ECT tester
Presto has designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as the edge crush tester digital model that has been designed in accordance with industrial standards that will help the manufacturers to test the quality of materials easily. This quality lab testing equipment plays a vital role in delivering accurate products to customers by testing the box compression strength.
One of the main challenges of using cardboard boxes in the packaging industry is that they can be easily damaged. This is especially true if the boxes are not properly stored or handled. By conducting the edge crush test on the materials, one can easily evaluate the strength of corrugated boxes and deliver quality products to the customers.
