Is there anything more frustrating than not being to open your beer bottle?
Here's a nightmare scenario for you. You twist the top-cap on your bottle of beer,
but it just will not open. - Each time you turn the screw cap the plastic tamper-evident
ring refuses to break and you have what's known in the trade as a
"spinner". Bad enough if you have the one bottle to contend with, but
what if you are the quality manager in a bottling plant filling hundreds of
bottles each hour? You need a way of
checking that the caps are put on just right - not too loose, and not too
tight. What you need is a Vortex torque
testing system. By testing bottles from
the production line at regular intervals you can be sure that the capping
machine is doing its job.
As a secondary thought, how can you be sure that the PET
bottle is strong enough to withstand the rigours of capping, handling and being stacked
as it makes its way from the bottling plant to the shop and finally to the
consumer arriving intact? This time you
need a MultiTest force testing system to apply a standard top-load to the empty
bottle and accurately measure how much it compresses. Then you will know if the
bottles have been formed with exactly the right amount of polymer. So you save
money on materials and don't get the headache of underperforming bottles.
