Pacorr - Model PCTLSC-1 -Top Load Tester for PET / Plastic Bottles

PET/ Plastic bottles or containers are the most reliable packaging in the beverage industry Due to its higher strength, material flexibility and non-reactive nature, it is used by a maximum number of beverage manufacturers. Such a situation leads to higher production demand and increasing competition. To stand out from the crowd, one must ensure producing a high level of quality.

While producing pet bottles one must ensure of several factors that a client might judge upon. One of these major factors is the Buckling Strength of Bottles. Buckling strength is the load value under which a bottle will fail to resist vertical compressive force and eventually starts bending. This same situation is experienced by the bottles while they are stored one over the other, or they are stacked in vehicles during transportation. The bottles that are placed below take an extreme load on them and must be strong enough to avoid buckling. If the bottle at last bends, even an inch, it can result in the falling of all the bottles and lead to huge damage.

In addition to this PET/ Plastic Bottles carrying aerated drinks in them are already filled with pressurized gas and are facing pressure from inside, in this scenario if they fail to resist the vertical load these bottles can bring dangerous falls and damage to even people around.

To avoid these negative outputs, one must know how much compressive load their produced bottles can take. This way the user can ensure how much load, they need to put during storage or transit while they are stacked. Also, they can check if the PET bottles are meeting industry set standards.

Top load tester, the digital model brings a high level of accuracy and precision in evaluating the buckling strength of PET bottles or containers. Microprocessor-based display LCD screen ensures that highly precised test values are recorded and shown. The machine is equipped with strong compression plates which deliver the uniform load on the specimen. The specimen bottle is strongly held by the tester so that zero movements is ensured during the test. Brings high-end features like safety against Crosshead travel, overload, excess compression and exceeding voltage. It can precisely record the peak load value of the test to evaluate the capacity of PET/ Plastic Bottles.
