 Full Specs & Lit 

The TOPLOAD is specially designed to provide an easy method for carrying out compression tests on all kind of packaging:  plastic bottles, containers, boxes, shipping container, bubble or foam packaging… The instrument can be used in the workshop or the laboratory. It is fitted with compression platens round for the bottles or square for the packaging.
Thanks to his ComTouch controller, this tester allows to perform different compressive tests automatically:

  1. Measure the peak force and the deflection to collapse your sample
  2. Measure the peak force at a deflection limit
  3. Test that your samples can resist to a constant force

With his touch screen the controller is used to start the test just by pressing one button, setup the test parameters or setup the speed between 0.8 and 40 in/min.

The current force reading, the deflection and the speed are displayed continuously on the ComTouch. Or if required you can link the test stand to a computer with our software CTAP to display in real time the curve of your test or setup an advanced ASTM compression test.
