Micro Printer Gelbo Flex Durability Tester

GFT-01 is a high-efficiency plastic film sample kneading preparation equipment by Gelbo Flex test method ASTM F392. It is suitable for anti-rubbing performance test of various films, composite films, coating films and other materials, such as barrier materials for food packaging, soft barrier films in sterile medical device packaging, etc. It can simulate the behavior of rubbing, creasing, bending and pressure damage of the film in the process of production, processing and transportation.

After the flex test, the anti-flex performance of the material is judged by detecting the change in the number of pinholes before and after the test or the change in the permeation barrier performance, which provides a quantitative basis for packaging design and practical application.

The sample size (200 by 280 mm) is attached to the flex tester mandrels. The flexing action consists of a twisting motion
combined with a horizontal motion (compression), thus repeatedly twisting and crushing the film. The test set up gives a twisting motion of 440º in the first 90 mm of the stroke and is followed by a straight horizontal motion of 65 mm. The speed is 45 cycles per minute.
