Lansmont 152-50 Compression Tester

Severe compressive forces occur when packaged-products are stacked during transit or storage. To evaluate the performance of packages, components, and materials under such loads, Lansmont offers a full line of Compression Testers. Lansmont Compression Testers comply with industry standard package testing specifications including ASTM, ISTA, ISO, and MIL-STD.

Lansmont’s Model 152 Compression Tester is specifically designed to efficiently and accurately evaluate the performance of unit loads under compressive forces.

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.

Lansmont 152-50 Datasheet

Many variables affect the compression performance of your packaging. How many boxes will be in a unit load and how will we stack them? Will our packages be shipped on pallets? What happens if boxes overhang the pallet? How does the climate influence

the stacking performance? These are important questions to consider when designing your packaging. Lansmont Compression Test Systems allow you to evaluate how your packaging designs “stack up” to compressive loads and environmental conditions.
