testing to perfection
Top-load Testing
If you manufacture containers of any shape, size or material one of
the most critical parameters in quantifying the design and quality of
your finished product is its resistance to top-loading. Mecmesin
supplies a unique range of highly accurate, versatile, robust and yet
affordable top-load testing systems to major packaging
manufacturers and processors across the globe.
Benefits . . .
• Perform max compressive load and free-height tests with 1 machine
• Push one button to operate
• Affordable
• Compact and portable benchtop design
This simple yet crucial test allows design and quality professionals to
confidenty.
Optimise Design
• Map an accurate compressive resistance profile of your container
• Avoid deformation or collapse during capping and stacking
• Reduce material usage
Ensure Quality
• Guarantee consistently high manufacturing quality
• Robust systems provide a long life of reliable performance on the
factory floor
• Assess free-height and compressive load with one system, saving
time, space and capital expenditure
Conform
Achieve compliance with international test standards, including;
• ASTM D2659-95(2005) • ISO8113:2004
• ASTM D642-00(2005) • DIN 55440
• ASTM D4577-05 • DIN 55526
• ASTM D4169-05 • DIN 53757
• ISBT Plastic Bottle Test Methods 2004
Top-load Systems
Features. . .
• Quick recording of max compressive load, container free height and
deflection
• Integrated console control for easy lockable programming and data
tagging (e.g. user ID, batch, date and time)
• Overload protection shuts down test if excess load applied
• Constant crosshead travel rate eliminates inaccuracies arising
from operator error
• Rapid response electronics capture accurate peak compression loads
• Auto-export of results to PC, printer or datalogger

parallelism
• Rigid plate for heavy duty applications
350mm Square Compression Plate

• Large square plate to cover complete surface area
of the container top
• Self-levelling mechanism available for absolute
parallelism
