Product Description
1. Equipment overview
The Cosmetic Carton Compression Chamber is a precision test equipment specially designed to evaluate the compressive strength, deformation performance and overall structural stability of cosmetic packaging cartons (e.g. corrugated cartons, color boxes, etc.) under static compression load. Since cosmetic packaging not only needs to have enough compressive capacity to withstand the pressure during transportation and stacking, but also needs to take into account the appearance of the protection and aesthetics, the tester has an important application in the cosmetic industry. The equipment ensures the safety and reliability of cosmetic packaging in various environments by simulating actual transportation, storage and stacking conditions.
2. Main Functions
Compressive strength test: Measure the maximum compressive capacity of carton in vertical direction according to ASTM D642 or other relevant standards to evaluate its load-bearing capacity during stacking, transportation and storage.
Deformation test: Record the deformation of carton under compression load, assess the degree of deformation and recovery ability, to ensure that the package can still maintain the appearance of integrity after withstanding the pressure.
Stacking test: simulate the force of carton in actual stacking situation, assess its stacking stability and load-bearing capacity, ensure that no collapse or damage will occur when multi-layer stacking.
Cyclic compression testing: Multiple cyclic loading and unloading of cartons to assess their fatigue performance and durability, to ensure that the packaging can still maintain good compression resistance after multiple handling and transportation.
Data analysis and report generation: Built-in data analysis software can automatically generate detailed test reports, including maximum compressive strength, deformation, loading curve and other parameters, to help the quality control department carry out strict quality assessment.
