CRUSH TESTER Model CT-2000

The CT-2000 determines the compression strength of corrugated fiberboard and its components for Q.C. (quality control) and R&D (research and development). This equipment is absolutely user friendly and its operation can easily be done through its built-in testing software, alphanumeric back-lighted display and membrane keyboard. It offers complete statistics, a parallel port for the connection of a local printer and a RS-232 serial port for the connection to a computer. MAJOR TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Capacity 4000,0 N Resolution 0,1 N Selectable testing units N, kgf or lbf Testing speed (programmable) 10 - 40 mm/min Return speed of plates 250 mm/min Stroke length (programmable) 5 - 80 mm Rupture level (programmable) 40 - 100% The CT-2000 also features lightweight cast-aluminum body, HBM high precision load cell, sturdy steel nickel-platted testing plates, heavy duty step motor, STAR accurate ball screw, built-in electronics and exclusive testing software for each test.

ACESSORIES FOR CRUSH TESTER The realization of standard tests for corrugated in the Crush Tester requires the use of standard testing devices. Circular cutter model CT-CA prepares disks of 100 cm² and 10 in² for the determination of the flat crush resistance of corrugated fiberboard used in packaging cases - FCT - Flat Crush Test. Column device models SCT and ECT are used for the determination of the column resistance - SCT - Short Column Test - and ECT - Edgewise Crush Test respectively. Pin adhesion test device model CT-AC is used for determination of the adhesion resistance between liner and flutter - PAT - Pin Adhesion Test. Corrugated flutted test device model CT-CO is used for the determination of the contribution of the flutter in the column resistance - CCT - Corrugated Crush Test Cross Direction. Ring crush test device model CT-RA is used for the determination of the liner compression resistance - RCT - Ring Crush Test.

CT-RA

Applicable Standards: CIRCULAR CUTTER ISO 3035, TAPPI T-825 RING CRUSH TEST TAPPI T-822 CORRUGATED CRUSH TEST TAPPI T-824 PIN ADHESION TEST TAPPI T-821 EDGEWISE CRUSH TEST ISO 3037 SHORT COLUMN TEST TAPPI T-811 The standard accessories shown here, except for the CT-CA, are designed to just keep the test pieces in the correct testing position. The preparation of the standard test pieces demand the use of additional equipment like the 2G-15 precision sample cutter, the CAP-21 pneumatic sample cutter and the ODC-A Concora laboratory flutter.
