Our product range contains a wide range of Cobb Sizing Tester, Scuff Tester, Opacity Tester, Edge Crush Tester and Top Load Tester
The Cobb Sizing tester is used to measure an optimum level of water which can be absorbed by a paperboard efficiently. To perform the test, the same is first weighed and then place in cylindrical ring which is full of 100 cc of liquid. After a period of time, the water is drained out, and the excessive amount of water left in the specimen is drained with the help of a roller. Now again take the weight of the specimen. The weight gain by the sample is considered as its water absorbency. It is a hand operated model that offers labor-intensive clamping of the specimen to position the sample appropriately. The instrument offers automatic clamping and releases to release and to fix the samples easily.
The scuffing is a term referred to the process of scuffing of a material when it is rubbed against any other material or surface which is rougher. The scuff tester is an ideal instrument that is used for estimation of the scuffing resistance of the packaging materials such as printed films or labels.Scuff Tester works incessantly by rubbing the surface of two printed materials on the same plane by setting the printed side face to face.The scuff testerinstrument is used for evaluating the damage done to the print quality of the printed materials on rubbing against any rough surface. With the scuff tester instrument, the color quality and consistency of the printed packaging materials is also tested.

The edge crush tester offered by Presto is one of the most accurate and efficient edge crush testing instrument that is trusted by a large number of manufacturers for accurate and precise determination of edge crush strength of their packaging materials. The edge crush tester instrument is used for testing of different materials such as corrugated boxes, cardboard boxes and so forth.
The performance of the bottles and containers at the time of transportation, storage, and warehousing is a matter of concern for manufacturers. Product usually fails or damage during shipping due to the heavy load of stacking or piling of products one above the other, which enhances the cost of the product that cant be handled by the manufacturer easily. But same time, these damages can be prevented by testing the products under top load test. Measuring the top load strength of the material using top load tester instrument is the best method which is used to measure the force that causes deformation and failure of bottles and containers. Top load strength of the material help to detect the thin area on the walls of the bottles that results in buckling or damaging of the bottle when pressed by heavily loaded containers.

The instrument is highly helpful in assuring that the seals of packaging materials are intact and do not have any leakage or damage.
the bursting strength of a material is a major aspect that defines its quality. The bursting force is the force that is exerted on a material from edges or elbows. Most of the failures of materials happen due to this force hence the bursting strength force is essential to measure for best quality assurance of the products. The bursting strength is also a major aspect of quality of the materials that are used in packaging industries such as paper, fabrics, plastic sheets, etc. For best evaluation of the bursting strength of a material, the bursting strength tester is used. Presto offers a wide variety of bursting strength testers that are widely used in packaging industries.
The Rolling Ball Tack tester is the testing instrument which is designed to test the tack of any type of adhesives. It is meant for measuring the ability of an adhesive that quickly stick to another exterior. The instrument strictly adheres to various standards that are introduced by different standardization authorities to execute the tack test on the pressure sensitive tapes and adhesives.
In the process of Rolling Back Tack Tester, a steel ball is installed which permits to roll down from a particular point in the grooved path which is inclined at a given angle to the bottom of the test platform. The responsive pressure tape is affixed below the end of the path of the platform. The roll back achieves maximum speed when moves down and roll on the tacky surface. The shorter the distance which is covered by the ball, the higher will be the tackiness of the adhesives. Similarly, the longer the distance covered by the ball, the lower will be the tackiness of the adhesives.

Perforation means testing the elongation or strength of the material. Hence, the Perforation method of testing is used to measure the elongation and tensile strength of thermoplastic films. The main motive to perform this test is to measure the force which is required to separate the film from the place of perforation. This is carried out with the help of a testing machine known as Perforation Tester. During this test, the film is perforated using a flat point and a cylindrical needle. Apart from the perforation force, a noticeable elongation 1 is read from the curve known as stress-strain curve. This result is then compared with the convention test of tensile testing. The perforation method requires few samples to perform the test.
The puncture resistance value of a material denotes its ability to inhibit the progression of a tear. Higher the puncture resistance values of a material, better the quality. The puncture resistance of a material can be efficiently measured using Puncture resistance tester instrument. Puncture resistance tester is a testing instrument offered by Presto, which used for testing the ability of a packaging material or bear the force applied to them by a penetrating object. Packaging products are often used for packaging of hard products such as dry foods or frozen foods that are hard and have several sharp edges.
Presto Puncture resistance tester instrument is incorporated with a fixture where the specimen is clamped on. The clamped specimen is pierced with the help of a pendulum with a pointed pyramid shapes head & a pointer for indicating the calibrated scale readings. The puncture resistance tester offered by presto is an ideal instrument that is used for ensuring the puncture resistance of packaging of various products.
