Seed container closure application

Plastic caps with a liner can be quickly tested for application torque with a manual digital tester

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have undertaken an international conservation initiative to preserve seed specimens of over 24,000 plant species, protecting them from extinction at the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place, West Sussex. Scientists at the Millennium Seed Bank required a simple, yet consistently accurate method of achieving a hermetic seal on the seed bottle caps.

Plastic phial cap pull-off

The force to pull off a plastic pharmaceutical phial cap can be measured by a motorised tester

The customer approached Mecmesin with a specification to pull-off the cap of a pharmaceutical phial. The test equipment needed to be simple to use and able to perform repeatable tests.

Application torque check for pump dispenser

Manual digital torque test instruments quickly measure closure removal effort

Pfeiffer, based in Germany, (and now part of AptarGroup) are a leading manufacturer of atomisers and dosing systems for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The company required a torque test unit to measure the application and release torque of their pump products.
