The Testronix Drum and Barrel Compression Tester is designed to evaluate the compressive strength and load-bearing capacity of drums, barrels & other cylindrical packaging containers. It helps determine the ability of these containers to withstand compressive forces encountered during stacking, storage and transportation.
Testronix Instruments is a leading Drum and Barrel Compression Tester manufacturer and supplier in India. To get the best price, request a quote or call us now!

The instrument applies a controlled compressive load to the test specimen through motorized compression platens. The applied force is measured using a precision load cell, enabling the operator to identify the maximum load sustained by the container before deformation or structural failure.
The tester has the ability to carry out accurate measurements and ensure easy monitoring of the results, thanks to the microprocessor-based control system, its digital display and the peak hold function. Its durable design and adjustable testing parameters make it ideal for packaging industry companies, the production of industrial containers and laboratories dealing with quality control.
The following specifications are based on the supplied TX-DCT 1000 model. Confirm suitability for drum and barrel testing before final publication.
