Mecmesin world leader in Closure Testing

An international supplier of a powdered hot chocolate drink wanted to test several aspects of their plastic-capped, foil-sealed cardboard tube container. This included top-load (column crush) of the cardboard, flip-off for the plastic cap and 90 degree peel testing of the metal rim and foil closure element, both removed and in situ. To enable correct and secure gripping to an assisted peel table, Mecmesin designed a custom jig to hold either the tub base or the top rim closure. The client was then able to use their Mecmesin universal tester for all four tests, with quick and easy exchange of fixtures, and rapid throughput of samples for testing.
