Packaging Control and Cap Torque Tester

 Torque testers are used to measure the opening and closing torque of products with a screwing or twisting closure cap.

Advantage: Maximum torque measurement at full production speed under real-world conditions. Allows for a quick preventative equipment analysis without disassembling the machine.

The statistics (Lot Number, Product Name, Operator Name, Number Line, permissible limits) are not included in the collected data and must be handled independently. There is no way to print or share data.

Allows for quick equipment preventive maintenance without disassembling the machine. Disadvantages: Measurements cannot be made at full speed. Before screwing on the head, the bottle must be placed three times within the capping machine. During the starting phase, it reaches nominal speed, but it does not correlate to full speed circumstances.

Some elements may have to be removed depending on whether the capping machine has enough space. Because the measurement is taken when the machine is stopped, the findings will not be 100% reflective of full-speed production.

During the packaging design process, this torque tester is essential. It could be used as a destructive testing to see if the packaging has any material flaws throughout the screwing process. It also enables the capping machine's torque tolerances to be defined. The lower torque limit is used to determine the minimum pressure of the cap in order to prevent product leakage. This torque test should be performed in conjunction with a leak test using a secure seal analyzer. The higher the torque limit, the greater the customer's ability to open the goods.
