Carton drop tester

The Carton Drop Tester is designed to simulate the impact experienced by packaging during transportation, handling, and loading/unloading. It evaluates the impact strength of packages, the durability of materials, and the rationality of packaging design by performing controlled free-fall drops.

Applications

This tester is widely used in the packaging, logistics, electronics, food, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce industries. It is suitable for manufacturers of corrugated cartons, boxes, and transport packaging to ensure product protection and optimize packaging design.

Standards

The Carton Drop Tester meets the following international and national standards:

ISO 2248 – Packaging — Transport packages — Vertical impact test by dropping

GB/T 4857-5 – Packaging — Transport packages — Vertical impact test by dropping

ASTM D5276 – Standard test method for drop test of loaded containers by free fall

Drop Tester Motorised Pneumatic Work：

Drop tester is perfect machine to test the endurance of the corrugated cartons. It is equipped with a motorised arrangement to lift the single wing structure. The pneumatic system operates the wing structure. It has a wired remote control to operate the machine. The boxes are tested on 3 ways, edge wise, corner wise and flat surface. The box placed on the wings is carried to a specified height as per the testing standards to drop it. Once the box is dropped, the operator visualises the effect of free fall on the carton. It is widely used in the different industries that deals with carton manufacturing.

Presto drop tester is widely used in the paper and packaging industry to test the drop strength of boxes against drops. This packaging drop test machine comes with the provision to lift up the test platform with the guided motorized mechanism. Besides this, it has been built on a strong base plate with a rugged structure to accurately conduct drop strength tests on the packages. With the use of this high-quality lab testing instrument, carton manufacturers can determine the maximum load that a box or carton can endure before it fails. Presto is a leading drop strength tester manufacturer and offers the best drop tester price for its clients.

This motorized drop test machine can accurately conduct carton drop tests on the packages and comes with a maximum drop height of 380mm. Users can accurately operate this high-quality testing instrument by plugging this machine on the power of 220V AC, 5 Amp, Single phase, 50Hz. When the carton will be dropped from a certain height then the manufacturers can easily assess its durability and quality. The corrugated box or carton with poor quality material can easily get damaged when falling from a certain minimum height.

The package drop test conducted with the help of a drop tester will help the paper and packaging product manufacturers to improve the quality of their materials. Besides this, by conducting this quality test on the boxes, one can easily ensure that their products will accurately be delivered to the customers.
