drop testing machine for food product packaging drop resilience

Drop Weight Impact Testing Machine During the products handling or transport process, there may be drop/ fall, which results in damage within the products. And the machine simulates the drop/ fall of a finished product to evaluate the damage. Standard test of packaged freights (surfaces,corners, and edges), etc. can be performed efficiently with a high accuracy.

FEATURES

1. Outside material: advanced paint coat.

2. It adopts double wings to fix the products well when testing.

3. Power system: drive device (imported motor + speed reducer +Axel+ upper and lower limitation + spring+electromagnet)+dropping device(dropping standard board +magnet + safety spacing push rod + automatic return back + digital alto-meter +encoder +hydraulic pressure buffering device)

4. Control system: adopting electromagnet sensor control, the interface is easy to operate, high degree automatic control.

5. Safety device: upper and lower limitation device, automatic off-power device if electricity leakage occurs.

SPECIFICATION

A Drop Testing Machine for Food Product Packaging Drop Resilience is designed specifically to evaluate the ability of food packaging to withstand drops and impacts that may occur during handling, transportation, or storage. Since food products are often delicate and prone to damage from physical forces, the packaging needs to be durable enough to protect the contents from breakage, contamination, or spoilage due to impact.

1. Adjustable Drop Height:

• The drop height is adjustable to simulate different levels of impact. By modifying the drop height, you can mimic real-world conditions where packages are dropped from varying heights during handling and transport.

• The machine may feature both manual and motorized height adjustments, ensuring versatility for different packaging types and test scenarios.

2. Impact Surfaces:

• The testing machine often includes different impact surfaces to replicate real-world conditions. These surfaces may be rigid, like concrete or steel, or soft (e.g., foam or rubber) to simulate different handling environments.

• Some machines allow users to switch between surfaces to test how the packaging performs on both hard and softer surfaces.

3. Packaging Fixture/Platform:

• The food packaging (whether in boxes, containers, or flexible pouches) is placed securely on a fixture or platform. This ensures the package stays in place during the drop and simulates real-world scenarios.

• The fixture may include adjustable clamps or gripping mechanisms to hold the packaging tightly and allow for consistent testing.

4. Drop Mechanism:

• The drop is executed with a precise release mechanism, ensuring the package falls freely without obstruction, just as it would in real-world conditions.

• Electromagnetic or pneumatic release systems may be used to ensure that the object is released with consistency, allowing for repeatable tests.

5. Controlled Drop Angles:

• Some machines allow for the testing of different drop orientations, such as drops on the corner, edge, or flat face of the packaging. This simulates various impact scenarios, as packages are often dropped at different angles.

• Drop angle adjustments ensure comprehensive testing to measure how packaging withstands various physical stresses.

6. Test Repetition and Cycles:

• The machine can be programmed to perform multiple drops on the same package or perform repetitive drop tests to simulate packaging resilience over time, especially for transportation or shipping scenarios.

• It helps determine if the packaging will withstand repeated impacts without failure.

7. Data Logging and Reporting:

• Advanced drop testing machines for food packaging often come with data logging systems to track test parameters like drop height, number of drops, and impact forces.

• The data is recorded and can be analyzed to determine the performance of the packaging, including whether the packaging material cracked, punctured, or compromised the food product inside.

8. Impact Force Control:

• In some machines, users can adjust the impact force by selecting different drop heights and weights of the object being dropped.

• This allows for simulating real-world conditions where products might be handled in varying conditions (e.g., a package with a heavier or lighter product).

9. Safety Mechanisms:

• Safety features such as protective barriers or interlock systems ensure that operators are safe during the drop tests. Some machines may stop automatically or require manual reset after each test cycle.

• Emergency stop buttons or safety enclosures help prevent accidents or unintentional activation of the test cycle.

10. Customizable Testing Parameters:

• Machines for food packaging testing often have customizable parameters to set different drop heights, durability cycles, test speeds, and impact surfaces.

• This allows the user to conduct tests that closely mimic real-life situations the packaging may face, such as being dropped from a height during transportation or being mishandled on store shelves.
