Compression Testers
Compression testing is a mechanical procedure for determining how a test sample will react to a force being applied across one side of the test sample.
A box compression testing machine applies the compressive force to the container, while holding the container between two plates that distribute the load. Typically, one of the two plates is fixed, while the other is movable. As the dynamic force is applied to one side of the test container, the test system monitors and reports both the force and deflection throughout the duration test.
Lansmont SqueezerPro Compression Tester
Designed to evaluate box performance, the SqueezerPro is a valuable investment for researching the effects of various board mediums, closures, interior partitions, and other box design variables on compressive strength performance.
The SqueezerPro can also be used for distribution simulation compression testing on individual packages.
Lansmont 122-15 Compression Tester
The Model 122-15 is a servo-hydraulic compression tester designed to evaluate the compressive strength of individual shipping containers as well as larger pallets, unit loads, and large bulk containers.
Lansmont 152-30 Compression Tester
The standard system has a platen size that is 60 in. (152 cm) square with a maximum opening of 84 in. (213 cm). Optional extended platens and larger openings are available to accommodate larger test items. Maximum force capability is 30,000 lbs. (133 kN).
The Model 152-30 can be installed on any reinforced concrete floor (ground level recommended). The low profile baseplate design makes it easier and safer to load and unload large test items.
Lansmont 152-50 Compression Tester
The standard system has a platen size that is 60 in. (152 cm) square with a maximum opening of 84 in. (213 cm). Optional extended platens and larger openings are available to accommodate larger test items. Maximum force capability is 50,000 lbs. (222 kN).
The Model 152-50 can be installed on any reinforced concrete floor (ground level recommended). The low profile baseplate design makes it easier and safer to load and unload large test items.
