79-15 Crease and Board Stiffness tester
Crease and Board Stiffness testing is useful to industries of corrugated, carton board, paper, printing and packaging.
Description
Crease and Board Stiffness testing is useful to industries of corrugated, carton board, paper, printing and packaging. The relationship between
board stiffness and crease recovery (spring back) is an important factor in the performance of cartons on high speed packaging machines and
in manual folding. It is crucial to have the creases in boards correct and uniform. The crease recovery (spring back) can result in forces, which
distort the carton or cause stresses to be applied to closures, which reduce their effectiveness.
Other products in the Stiffness testing range include the 79-56 Bending Resistance Tester for the the bending resistance of paper, paperboard, plastic film, medical tubing, and wire.

HSM-4 Laboratory Heat Sealer
For standard determination of heat sealability. Produces seals up to 50mm long x 5 to 25mm wide.
Precise control of heat sealing process variables (temperature, pressure, and dwell time), enables an optimal balance of material specification, packaging machine speed and seal integrity. Accuracy and repeatability in laboratory heat seal testing is vital, and the HSM-4 provides a standard range of controls for this purpose.

HT-1XS Hot Tack Tester
Touch Screen Precision Hot Tack Tester for determination of the hot tack seal strength of flexible packaging materials, to ASTM F1921.
In vertical (VFFS) and horizontal (HFFS) form-fill operations, heat seals are often subjected to forces whilst still hot. If the hot seals are unable to resist these forces then unsealed areas or holes into the package can occur during the process. The RDM HT-1XS Hot Tack Tester measures the strength of hot seals enabling selection and compliance testing of suitable flexible materials for packaging applications. Precise control of sealing process variables (temperature, pressure, and time) in production then enables an optimal balance between material specification, packaging machine speed and seal integrity.
