Description

The Crease & Board Stiffness Tester gives board manufacturers, printers and packing companies the ability to predict the ‘runability’ of a sample board or finished carton before committing valuable materials or machine time.

Board Stiffness and Crease Recovery are key characteristics that affect the running performance of cartons on high speed packaging machines.

Features

Independently operated jaws are rotated through pre-defined angles, 90° for crease recovery and 15° for board stiffness.

AUTOMATIC DWELL TIME

• 15 second measurement delay to eliminate operator variability (according to BS 6965).

AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATES STIFFNESS / CREASE RATIO

• Results calculated and displayed instantly on screen.
• No additional software is required for data analysis .
• BS 6965 advises that optimum running cartons should have a ratio between 1.5 and 3 (machine direction) and 3 and 7 (cross direction).

AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF STATISTICS

• Full statistics are displayed for both crease recovery and board stiffness.
