Mecmesin's dedicated child-resistant closure test instrument, measuring force and torque

The CRC tester from Mecmesin, is a highly accurate tester, capable of measuring both the security and accessibility of child-resistant closures (CRC). The 'push' and 'twist' action used to gain access and open a CRC closure is shown clearly on two dedicated displays for easy identification of both force and torque values.

Overview

Tornado is ideal as a versatile, portable closure torque tester

Four capacities: 1.5N.m, 3N.m, 6N.m & 10N.m
Compact, lightweight and easily portable
Mains or battery-powered
RS232 output for easy export of results
Water resistant design, and integrated drip tray captures spillage for easier cleaning when testing carbonated drinks
Multiple measurement units: mN.m, N.m, lbf.in, ozf.in, kgf.cm, etc.
On-site calibration available

Tamper Evident closure testing

Two peak torques are displayed indicating breakaway and bridge values

The Tornado allows you to characterise the two critical torque peaks associated with tamper-evident closures; slip torque; effort required to initiate movement of the cap, and bridge torque; the smaller secondary peak associated with the effort required to break the plastic bridges between the cap and the security ring.

Pass/Fail alerting

LED pass and fail indicators clear show torque values in tolerance

Tolerance bands for acceptable torque measurements may be pre-defined, and pass/fail parameters established. Five independent settings can then be stored. LED indicators or an audible alarm (or both) then clearly identify samples that do not conform to your exact requirements.

On-board memory, simple controls

Simple controls, on-board memory and data output of torque measurement results

The Tornado can store up to 500 readings in its internal memory, allowing you to perform many tests in quick succession, and then view or export the results at a later time convenient to you.
Clear, intuitive controls dual-purpose membrane keypad allows quick access to common functions & navigation of the advanced options menu. Features lockable units & ‘max display’ mode.
