3 Important Tests for Every Manufacturer of Packaged Water Bottles

 Because of the increased demand for packaged drinking water, beverage companies are investing heavily in packaging and marketing mineral-rich water. However, there is a significant price difference. The cause for this is due to the poor quality of the water packaging. A high-quality bottle has undergone extensive testing and is regarded as user-friendly and secure as primary packaging.

Physical qualities are a major issue for most manufacturers because they do not go into the molecular structure or chemical properties. Deformed bottles, broken bottles, and leaking caps, for example, might cause the entire shipment to spoil, and they may be rejected outright by the QC in-charge or the retailer. It is critical to do the test before beginning mass manufacturing of the bottles in order to reduce the cost of rejection and failure.

The bottles are stacked on top of each other during shipping or at warehouses. It is a very typical method of applying effective space. Bottles are subjected to a continual compressive load as a result of stacking. This can cause the bottle to buckle at different points, such as the neck or the bottom. Top-load testing, which involves applying a compressive load to a bottle sample, is required to eliminate such distortions. If manufacturers are aware of their bottles' activity, they can send instructions to the carrier so that the load does not exceed the set limit. Claims against the carrier firm may be filed if the guidelines are not followed.

The rotating force applied to the cap to open it is known as torque. To make bottles more user-friendly, the torque criteria must be met. A 10-year-old toddler or a 65-year-old granny could use a packed water bottle. As a result, there is a wide range of strength that can be used. The right torque not only makes the bottle more user-friendly, but it also ensures that it won't leak.

It's a basic test that reveals a lot about the crack resistance and dent resistance of the bottles. How robust is it to withstand the impact of free falling when a PET bottle falls from a height, either accidentally or due to manhandling? The bottle is dropped from a height in this test, and any deformation that develops is visually inspected. A drop testing instrument is a standardized instrument that is designed in accordance with the testing standards set by the relevant authorities.
