Top testing instruments for bottle manufacturing industries in 2023

Bottle Testing instruments play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of bottles manufactured in the bottle manufacturing industry. Here are some common testing instruments used in the industry:

1 Bottle Burst Tester: This instrument measures the bursting strength of bottles by subjecting them to internal pressure until they rupture. It helps determine the maximum pressure a bottle can withstand without bursting.

The bottle burst tester manufactured by Presto is a very effective and competent testing instrument that is used for testing the strength and quality of the PET bottles, cans and packs that are used in CSD lines of carbonated drinks. The instrument determines the bursting strength of the PET bottles by placing it inside the cavity of the instrument. Then a specific amount of pressure is exerted on the bottle at a controlled increased rate. The pressure inside the test bottle is increased to a level when the bottle bursts due to the pressure.

2 Secure Seal Tester: It is used to check the leakage or seal integrity of bottles. The seal tester applies a specific pressure or vacuum inside the bottle and detects any leaks or defects in the bottle's closure system. Presto Secure seal tester is one of the consistent tools that is used to test the seal integrity of PET bottles and plastic containers.

This lab testing equipment is highly useful in the PET bottle manufacturing industry and ensures that the seal of bottles should be intact. Testing the seal of a bottle is important in order to ensure that the product inside is safe and fresh. This lab testing equipment made by the experts at Presto works on microprocessor-based controls which will allow the users to easily conduct the seal integrity test of PET products. By detecting gas leakage rather than liquid, the seal strength tester gives more sensitive and accurate readings. The test sample is closed tightly to check for any leakage of gas. You can read about the features and technical specifications of these lab testing instruments.

4 Bottle Top Load Tester: This instrument assesses the top load strength of bottles. It simulates the pressure applied on the bottle's top during stacking or transportation, ensuring that the bottle can withstand the load without deformation or failure.

The digital model of the Presto top load tester has been made with a digital display that will provide you with accurate and repeatable test results. It comes with inverted straight plates with zero gripping support that will help the manufacturers to conduct the top load test on the bottles with ease.

With its bright LED display and feather touch controls, the users can easily operate this lab testing instrument and test their bottles against top load. Besides this, it has been embedded with highly advanced features that include overload protection, over travel protection, speed control option, feather touch controls and a bright LED display to conduct the test accurately. By testing the top load strength of the materials, the manufacturers can easily measure the compressive strength of such containers to ensure they do not deform or break when subjected to axial forces during the processes of filling, closure, storage, and transport.

5 Bottle Wall Thickness Gauge: It measures the thickness of the bottle walls at various points, ensuring uniformity and compliance with the required specifications. This instrument helps identify any inconsistencies in the bottle manufacturing process.

Wall thickness is a measure of the strength and durability of a bottle. It is important to test the wall thickness of bottles because it can affect the safety and quality of the contents inside. Wall thickness can be affected by many factors, such as the type of material used, the manufacturing process, and even the environment in which the bottles are stored.

Therefore, PET bottle manufacturers should test the thickness of bottles in order to deliver quality products to the customers. If you are searching for high quality and accurate wall thickness gauge to test the wall thickness of materials like PET bottles, containers, water storage tanks, etc. then you must go with Magnamike 8600 wall thickness gauge. Presto bottle wall thickness gauge is one of the high-quality lab testing instruments that has been designed in order to provide an accurate analysis of the wall thickness of materials.

6 Bottle Perpendicularity Tester: PET bottles are majorly used for packaging of a variety of products and for best safety and hygiene of these products, the PET Bottles must be of best quality. The perpendicularity is a major aspect that defines the quality of PET bottles. In order to ensure that the PET bottles are perfectly perpendicular, it is essential for the manufacturers to test them thoroughly.

The bottle perpendicularity tester by Presto is a major testing instrument that is used by the manufacturers on PET bottles for quality testing of the products. The perpendicularity gauge is easy to use and helps in evaluating any deviations that might be present in the structure of the PET bottle and hamper its perpendicularity.
