Top-load and crush resistance testing reduces the risk of containers deforming or failing when subject to forces during filling, closure, storage and transport. Mecmesin top-load testers provide a reliable and accurate solution for meeting design standards in the laboratory and on the production floor.

Our PC-controlled and touch screen test stands range from single-column machines (ideal for testing plastic bottles, aluminium and steel cans) to twin-column machines designed for testing large cardboard boxes and plastic or metal drums.
Types of test

• top-load (column) crush
• box crush (BCT)
• edge crush (ECT)
• ring crush (RCT)
• top load, glass containers

Benefits

• Aside from the benefits of minimised packaging failure, Mecmesin top-load testers offer:
• Cost-effectiveness
• A range of tough motorised models
• A choice of manual, touch screen or PC-based control
• A wide range of accessories
• Versatility for multiple applications
• Simple operation suitable for unskilled staff
• Intuitive software means minimal training required
• Free height of container can be calculated saving time
• High accuracy and repeatability
• Increased throughput from single or batch mode
• Automatic platen repositioning for quick sample insertion
• Ability to output results to multiple formats for use with SPC and data analysis software
• Expert after sales service
