Crush Tester
Comprehensive yet easy to use testing machine for the testing of corrugated board and it's components. Maximum load 5kN. Wide range of fixtures available for performing the FCT, ECT, RCT, CLT, CCT and CMT.
The Crush Tester determines the compression strength of corrugated board, its components and small packages for quality control and R&D. Used as a stand-alone unit, the Crush Tester is operated through an intuitive menu. Data can be viewed directly on the LCD or transferred to a local printer or host PC (through parallel or serial output).
