How to choose the best vibration table for your packaging industry?

Gaurav Malhotra

Vibrations can cause damage to the contents of the package. Many products, especially delicate or sensitive items such as electronics, glassware, or pharmaceuticals, are susceptible to damage from excessive vibration.

By subjecting packages to vibration testing, manufacturers can ensure that their products will reach the end-user in optimal condition, minimizing the risk of breakage or malfunction.

Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a vibration table that is used to test the damage caused by repetitive movement in vehicles.

Vibrations during transportation can affect the overall integrity and structural stability of the package itself. Excessive vibrations can lead to the loosening of components, detachment of seals, or even structural failure, compromising the package's ability to protect its contents.

Presto being a leading lab testing instruments manufacturer has designed high-quality lab testing equipment that is used to test the vibration simulation of packages and ensure that your package will not get destroyed due to vibrations.

In this post, we'll outline five key factors you should consider when choosing a vibration table for your packaging line. But first, we will discuss the importance of testing the vibrations of packages before delivery.

Importance of testing vibrations of packages before delivery

Testing the vibrations of packages before delivery is crucial for protecting the contents, maintaining the structural integrity of the package, and ensuring the safety of transportation.

By implementing robust testing procedures, companies can enhance customer satisfaction by delivering products in excellent condition while also minimizing potential liabilities and losses associated with damaged or compromised packages.

Thus, by using the right package testing instrument, one can easily test the vibrations of the packages and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers.

Presto is a leading vibration table manufacturer and designs this quality testing equipment at the best prices.

This high-quality lab testing instrument has been designed in accordance with industrial standards including ASTM D999 and IS 7028(part II). With this high-quality lab testing instrument, packaging manufacturers can easily test the quality of materials against vibrations.

Now, let us discuss more about the Presto vibration table.

Now, let us discuss the top factors that needed to be considered when choosing a vibration table.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Vibration Table

There are a few key factors to consider when choosing the right size and power supply for your packaging line. Below we have mentioned the top 4 of them:

The weight of the product: You need to make sure that the vibration table can handle the weight of your product. Presto vibration table comes with a maximum load capacity of 100 Kg that makes it easy for the manufacturers to conduct vibration simulation tests on the materials.
The size of the product: You need to make sure that the vibration table is big enough to accommodate your product. If it's too small, your product won't fit and if it's too big, it could be difficult to move around. Thus, with the Presto vibration testing instrument, manufacturers can easily test the package of size 800 * 800 mm.
Should have adjustable vibration frequency: Frequency plays a critical role in testing the vibration simulation of materials because it directly influences the response and behaviour of the materials being tested. The Presto vibration table comes with an adjustable frequency when subjected to vibrations at different frequencies.
Industrial Standards: The vibration table you use must be resonated as per industry standards that include ASTM D-999, TAPPI T-817-pm, and IS7028 (part II). With the Presto vibration table, one can accurately test the materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers.
