Precise Packaging Impact TestingThe tester delivers accurate impact assessments for both flexible and rigid meat packaging, ensuring product protection throughout supply chains. Users can select manual or automatic calibration for ongoing test reliability. The hardened stainless steel impact head replicates real-world forces, while an adjustable speed and energy range enable tailored evaluations for varied packaging types.
Intuitive Digital Control & SafetyOperating the device is straightforward thanks to its digital LCD touch screen panel and semi-automatic automation. Essential safety features, including an emergency stop switch and protective shielding, are incorporated to safeguard users during testing. The bench-top design allows convenient laboratory and industrial installation, maintaining a low ambient noise level below 60 dB.
Advanced Data ManagementTest results can be seamlessly stored-up to 200 records-and exported in real time via Wi-Fi, USB, or RS232 interfaces. The system automatically calculates results and alerts users about maintenance needs, streamlining laboratory workflow and supporting process documentation. Compliance with international standards guarantees credibility and repeatability in meat packaging evaluations.
FAQ's of Evaluating Meat Product Packaging Resistance to Impact:
Q: How does the Impact Resistance Tester evaluate meat packaging durability?
A: The tester uses a hardened stainless steel impact head to apply controlled force to flexible or rigid meat packaging, measuring resistance according to adjustable test speeds and energy levels. Automatic calculations provide accurate results within 1% of full scale.
Q: What types of meat packaging can be tested with this equipment?
A: This device is compatible with both flexible and rigid meat packaging, allowing evaluation of various sizes up to 250 x 250 mm and supporting specimen numbers from 1 to 10 per cycle.
Q: When should packaging be tested with this impact resistance equipment?
A: Packaging should be tested during product development, quality assurance, or compliance verification phases to ensure that meat products remain protected during handling, transport, and storage according to ISO 7765-1 and ASTM D1709 standards.
Q: Where is this tester typically installed and used?
A: The bench-top mounting type makes it suitable for laboratories and industrial environments. Its compact size and 65 kg weight support installation on standard workstations or production control areas.
Q: What is the process for running an impact resistance test?
A: Users load up to five samples, set test parameters (speed, stroke, energy), select calibration mode, and initiate testing via the touch screen. The device performs impact cycles in 60 seconds per specimen, calculates results automatically, and stores or exports data wirelessly.
Q: How does the machine ensure user safety during operation?
A: The tester is equipped with an emergency stop switch, a protective shield to prevent accidental contact, and overload protection systems. These features mitigate risks during impact testing procedures.
Q: What benefits does this equipment offer for meat packaging evaluation?
A: Key benefits include reliable and repeatable testing, real-time wireless data export, compliance with international standards, maintenance alerts, precise results, and suitability for a range of packaging types-all contributing to enhanced product quality assurance.
