Pouch Compression Tester

Pouch Compression Tester simulates the compressive loads that occur during transportation, stacking, handling, warehousing, and filling line operations. 

This tester accurately measures: 

• Compression Strength 

• Load at Peak Deformation 

• Permanent Set / Recovery 

• Burst or Collapse Force (if applicable) 

The tester is perfect for stand-up pouches, laminated pouches, zipper pouches, spouted pouches, sachets, mono-layer films, and medical device packaging. It ensures that packages will perform well under compressive stress without losing their quality. 

The device has a high-precision load cell, rigid compression plates and a controlled-speed drive mechanism, which means that it applies compressive load evenly and records the profile of the force deformation with high accuracy.  

The computerized model is highly applicable in quality control laboratories, packaging development departments and R&D departments by increasing the productivity of tests using graphical analysis, real-time data logging and automatic report generation. 

Applications 

• Compression resistance testing of flexible packaging pouches 

• Performance evaluation for stand-up and zipper pouches 

• Transport worthiness & stackability simulation 

• Deformation analysis of filled or empty pouches 

• R&D comparison of laminated structures 

• Seal integrity verification under compressive loads
