Compressive Testing Machine

The compressive testing machine, offered and manufactured by Presto, is one of the best quality testing equipment to test the compression strength of cartons, beehive crates, paper tanks, paper cases, and box compression strength. The test is performed to check the maximum compressive strength of a carton or corrugated box. This is a low-cost machine for the packaging industry aiding in testing the quality of corrugated cartons.

Presto offers a compressive testing machine with user-friendly controls. It’s a compact instrument that is provided with a computer system. During transit or in storage, cardboard boxes are stacked one above the other. Therefore, it is necessary that these boxes should have sufficient compression so that it will not deform or crush due to overload or overpressure. The machine determines the compression strength by positioning a box on a flat platform. The box is then pressed down from the top with the help of another flat plate. The compression strength instruments offered by Presto helps the manufacturers to locate the right quality of the boxes and prevents damage to stored products. The compressive strength calculation of a box is based on size and dimensions of the box, storage techniques (e.g., stacking issue), and material properties. Presto provides the instrument with an instruction manual, electric wiring diagram and calibration certificate traceable to NABL approved labs.
