Corrugated boxes and cartons are widely used in different industries to deliver packages accurately to customers. Testing the drop strength of boxes is important to ensure that the packaging can withstand the rigors of handling and transportation. Drop tests help to determine if the packaging is strong enough to protect the contents from damage during handling and shipping. Thus, if you are a paper & packaging manufacturer, and looking for an accurate testing instrument to test the drop strength of packages, then we at Testronix have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a drop tester.
The pneumatic model of the drop strength tester will accurately test the dropping ability of the materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. Testronix drops testing equipment has been designed as per ASTM D5276 testing standards that make it easy for the manufacturers to conduct drop strength tests on the materials.
In this blog, we will discuss a brief drop tester pneumatic model and how this lab testing instrument is used to test the drop strength of boxes. But first, let us discuss why packaging boxes should be tested for quality.
Carton drop testing is an essential quality factor for assessing the durability and strength of carton boxes. It involves subjecting carton boxes to a series of controlled drops from different heights and angles to simulate the handling and transport they may experience during shipment and storage.
By conducting a drop test, manufacturers and quality control personnel can determine whether the carton boxes can withstand the rigors of the supply chain and protect the contents inside. This is especially important for fragile or valuable items that need to arrive at their destination intact.
A carton box that fails a drop test can lead to a range of issues, such as damaged or broken products, customer complaints, increased costs due to replacements or refunds, and damage to the brand's reputation. Therefore, ensuring that carton boxes meet the required drop test standards is crucial to test them with the use of the right lab testing instrument.
Carton drop testing is an important quality factor that can help identify potential weaknesses in carton boxes, ensuring that only those with sufficient strength and durability are used for shipping and storing products.
Testronix drop tester is one of the highly versatile laboratory testing instruments that can accurately conduct package drop tests on the packages and ensures that quality material will be delivered to the customers.
Now, let us discuss a brief about the Testronix drop testing instrument.
Testronix drop tester pneumatic model is one of the high-quality lab testing instruments that is used to test the dropping ability of cartons. This testing instrument provides an angular drop arrangement to conduct carton drop tests on the materials with ease. The drop strength tester operates on the principle of free-fall of a pendulum and measures the impact strength of the sample material. It comes with user-friendly controls that allow users to adjust the test parameters, such as drop height, angle, and a number of drops, according to the specific testing requirements.
The Testronix drop strength tester is designed to provide accurate and reliable test results with minimal operator intervention, ensuring consistent and repeatable testing. It is equipped with safety features such as an interlocking safety guard, which ensures safe operation and prevents accidents.
It comes with automatic flap movement that is adjustable and moveable as per the requirement of the user. We have designed this testing instrument as per industry standards that include ASTM D5276. It can be customized as per ISTA standards 1A and 3A on request.
This testing instrument plays a major role in the packaging industry. By conducting a package drop test, on the materials, one can easily ensure the durability of the materials.
