For a bottle to be opened, it must have a certain amount of torque exerted on the cap. The amount of torque needed depends on the type of bottle used to deliver items to the customers. Testing the quality of bottles is an important part of the quality control process to ensure the contents will not spill out. This can be done with the help of a Presto torque tester. The digital model of this high-quality lab testing instrument has been made with strong clamping pegs/holders for zero gripping support. The torque value will be displayed in the digital format and measure a high-end sophisticated read-out with Auto Tare (zero) facility along with peak hold measurement. Here in this blog, we are going to discuss the importance of torque tester in the bottle manufacturing industry.
Introduction to Presto torque tester
Bottle caps can be a pain to remove – and often times they’re stubbornly lodged on the bottle. If you want to get those caps off without damaging the bottle, you need to use some torque. But how much force is necessary? And how do you measure it? If these questions are heading in your mind as well, then you must make use of one of the high-quality lab testing equipment known as a bottle cap torque tester. The digital model of the torque tester has been embedded with a digital display for accuracy and repeatability. It will accurately measure the torque needed to open a closed bottle cap.
Besides this, users can easily read the test results on the LCD display as the data will be shown in the digital display form. It comes with an adjustable clamping mechanism to hold the different sizes of bottles and conduct torque tests on them.
We at Presto offer you a complete range of torque testers, which includes digital models, analog models, torque tester HMI motorized, torque tester digital with printer, and torque tester HMI with the printer. Users can easily choose different models of this lab testing instrument based on their needs and requirements. By testing the torque value of their PET bottles, one can easily ensure that their bottles will not get leaked or the contents inside them get contaminated. The higher will be the torque value, the high quality of the bottle will be delivered. You can read about the importance of torque tester in the bottle industry.
Now, let us focus on the features and technical specifications of this lab testing instrument.
Features of Presto torque tester digital model
The Presto torque tester is one of the high-quality lab testing instruments that helps to detect the force required to open and close the bottle cap. By using this high-quality lab testing equipment, one can easily check the tightness of bottle caps and lids and ensure that accurate quality products will be delivered to the customers. Users can also test the strength of bottle closures. If the closure is too weak, it may not hold the bottle securely and could eventually break.
