Axial Top Load Tester for Plastic Closures

Compression tester for finding the vertical crush load of caps and capped containers. Used by cap makers and bottlers to check capping pressure and stacking performance on the line.

Specification

A platen presses on the top of the capped container at a set rate and records peak load or deflection. The result shows how much capping pressure or stacking load the cap and neck can bear. A compact frame suits PET bottles and jars.
