Box Compression Tester 25kN
Model 17-40-00-0001 CT

Box Compression Tester model CT
with integrated PC with touch screen
control and software dedicated to
testing corrugated board boxes and
cartons.

Machine Features
• Max Load Capacity 25kN (2549 kg, 5620 lb)
• Units of compression may be selected in N, kgf or lbf
• Four averaging load cells
• Load cell accuracy better than 0.5% of indicated value
• Repeatability and reproducibility is ensured by the use
of four guide columns maintaining platen parallelism
• RS232 serial data output
The Box Compression Tester is a four column, heavy
duty tester designed to determine the compressive
forces which a transport case is subjected-either in
transit or stacked in a warehouse. Boxes can be tested
to complete collapse or held automatically at predetermined load for a given period to evaluate stacking
loads.
The construction of the tester is rigid moving platen
driven by 4 recirculating ballscrews Platen parallelism
better than 1:4000. Load readings are taken from an
average of 4 balanced load cells to compensate for the
effect of any off centre loading.

• Auto loading range is 40 N to 25kN and boxes up to
1m3 can be accommodated
• Speed Range is digitally selected from 0.1 mm/min to
500 mm/min
• Cycling between preset loads or extension limits may
be conducted.
• Test modes: Constant Deflection and Constant Load
• Applications in Corrugated boxes and Cartons
• Integrated industrial PC with touch-screen
