Touchscreen Precision Seal Strength / Tensile / Compression Tester for determining the strength of packaging materials including plastics, paper and board. Producing consistent and repeatable packaging for your product not only ensures minimal handling damage, but is vital in delivering a consistent brand to your customers. Precise measurement of the mechanical properties of materials and final packages is one way to ensure consistency and reduce material costs. Accuracy and versatility in testing is vital, and the SST-3XS provides the technology and range of options to deliver for your specific needs. An intelligent controller and touch screen user interface stores multiple settings for later recall, and controls settings to ensure calibrated accuracy to international testing standards. 

This Coefficient of Friction / Peel Tester uses advanced digital force signaling and high-speed data acquisition software to provide precision and repeatability in COF and peel testing. Improved features include a colour touchscreen display and intuitive software user interface for easy navigation and test method storage. New peel testing capabilities include 180o peel and T-peel measurements.

Touch Screen Precision Friction Tester for determining Static and Kinetic Friction of packaging materials to ASTM, BS, ISO and TAPPI standards. Testing to ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T549 and BS2782-824A, and more. The successful processing of flexible films or paper and board is largely dependent on the correct coating of ‘SLIP’ additives applied to the material. The successful forming of the material requires easy sliding or flow over formers on the packaging machine where at high speed acute angles can change the direction of flow to produce a tube or pouch. The application of ink on the film, will cause the properties of slip to change, therefore the need to measure and control Coefficient of Friction is paramount.
