Understanding ETC Edge Crush Testing Machine May 28, 2021

Gester compiled information about the ETC edge test machine, mainly from three aspects.

1. WHY CHOOSE THE Crush Tester Machine For Corrugated Boxes?

Corrugated shipping cartons are subjected to a lot of different kinds of strain during packing, shipping and storage.
The edge crush test is a laboratory test method that is used to measure the cross-direction crushing of a sample of corrugated board. It gives information on the ability of a particular board construction to resist crushing.
Crush Tester For Corrugated Board is a newer test developed to look specifically at how much force a corrugated material can withstand on its edges without crushing.ECT applies force to the edge, the material is compressed top to bottom until it buckles.

2. WHAT IS THE EDGE CRUSH MACHINE METHODS?
Edge Crush Test Machine is well-designed using modern mechanical design theory and human engineering design criteria and micro-process.
Crush Tester is upper pressure plate fixed type, which has high precision and applies to the test of Ring Crush Test (RCT), Edge Crush Test (ECT), Flat Crush Test (FCT), Pin Adhesion Test(PAT) and Concora Medium Test(CMT) Option Testing methods.

3. APPLICATION OF ETC EDGE CRUSH TESTING EQUIPEMNT
If you are stacking and palletizing your cartons, ECT provides a better measure of how well they will hold up in a stack.

ECT has grown in popularity since its invention in the 1990s because it provides a better measure of how well boxes will hold up to stacking and palletizing. Modern shipping and warehousing methods mean that most products are now shipped and stored in pallets, where boxes may be stacked several layers deep. So the box not only must be strong enough to hold the weight of the product within, but also have edges strong enough to hold all of the weight on top without crushing or deforming.

THE FEATURE OF Ring Crush and Edge Compression Test Equipment
1. High speed return after finishing test.
2. Imported step motor with servo control adopted.
3. The test result can be measured, statistical and printed automatically and the data can be saved.
4. Blue color LCD display, which can be display the crush time and loading force real time ,GT-N09 type can display crush graph real time.
5. Thermal printer, high speed and no noise .
6. Use the modern design idea of mechanical and electrical integration, which has compact configuration, pleasing appearance and convenient maintenance.
