Description

Edge Crush Tester for Corrugated Boxes and Cartons

Ensure Packaging Durability with the Edge Crush Tester!

The Edge Crush Tester (ECT) is an essential tool for measuring the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated boxes and cartons. This instrument provides critical data on the ability of packaging materials to withstand pressure during storage and transportation.

Key Features & Applications:

  • Precise Measurement of ECT Value: The Edge Crush Tester evaluates the compressive strength of corrugated cardboard by measuring resistance to crushing forces on its edges. The results are typically reported as the ECT value, which reflects the packaging’s stacking strength.
  • Versatile Testing Capabilities: With the same instrument, you can conduct three key tests:
    • Edge Crush Test (ECT): Measures edgewise compression strength to determine box stacking capabilities.
    • Ring Crush Test (RCT): Evaluates the compressive strength of paper and board materials to assess liner boards and fluting mediums.
    • Flat Crush Test (FCT): Assesses the resistance of corrugated board to crushing forces applied perpendicularly, ensuring the structural integrity of the board’s flutes.
  • Accurate and Reliable Results: The Edge Crush Tester delivers precise results in Kg/Unit length, offering manufacturers and quality controllers an essential tool for assessing packaging strength and material performance.
  • Durability & Ease of Use: This user-friendly instrument is designed for the paper and packaging industry, providing reliable testing for corrugated boxes, liner boards, and fluting materials. With its 100kgf load cell, the tester handles both lightweight and durable materials with ease.
  • Manufactured Under Industry Standards: The Edge Crush Tester adheres to Test Standard IS 7063, ensuring that your tests are compliant with industry regulations.

Why Choose the Edge Crush Tester?

  • Quality Control: Helps ensure that packaging materials meet industry standards for strength and durability, preventing product damage during transit and storage.
  • Improved Packaging Design: By evaluating the performance of packaging materials, manufacturers can optimize packaging solutions for cost-efficiency and reliability.
  • Wide Application: Ideal for corrugated box manufacturers, packaging material suppliers, and quality control labs.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your most common questions
Q. What is the use of an edge crush resistance tester?

The edge crush tester is a precise instrument which can be used to check the edge crush resistance of corrugated boxes. The instrument helps in calculating the edge crush strength of corrugated boxes and cartons and displays the load strength on the digital indicator.

Q. How do you do the edge crush test?

The user of the machine simply has to place the corrugated box edge sample between the upper and lower compression plate. The user can start the test with the help of a simple switch. The accurate load cell calculates and provides the user with a consistent edge crush load on the digital indicator.

Q. What is the price of the edge crush tester machine in India?

There is a considerable variety to be seen in terms of price. It completely depends on the budget of the users as to what they shall prefer. It is highly recommended to opt for the higher range product types for getting better quality.

Q. From where to buy a genuine edge crush tester?
