Pouch Compression Tester

Pouch Compression Tester is an equipment suitable to evaluate the overall seal integrity of “liquid” or “paste” filled pouches when subjected to external compressive force.

Suitable to test Liquid Filled pouches for :

1) Dynamic Load Test  (Destructive Mode)

Test Type : Press till failure

In this method, the sample is compressed with increasing force untill the pouch bursts.

2) Static Load Test (Non-Destructive Mode)

(Also known as : Pressure Decay Test)

Test Type : Press till Load Setpoint. Hold till Time Setpoint.

In this method, the sample is compressed upto the Load setpoint pre-set by the user. The applied force is held on the pouch for some time (pre-set by the user). After the times elapses, the machine automatically returns to the original position. However If the pouch bursts before the set-point is achieved, then this becomes a destructive test. The machine automatically stops on sample failure or when the preset-load-time is achieved, whichever is earlier.
