SI Instruments has developed the mini TehloTest for measuring head load force in capping machines.
The mini TehloTest is said to be ideal for small bottles, as it is only 42mm in diameter and 101mm tall.
The unit can be wirelessly operated from a distance of up to 30 metres; no wires need to be pulled or damaged while the unit travels through the cap ping machine.
Designed for use in the production line, the mini TehloTest consists of two parts: the mini TehloTest unit containing the load cell (in a custom- made sleeve to imitate the exact size and shape of the bottles); and the user interface, containing the control module.
The possibilities extend further with EasyPlot graphing software, making it possible to obtain a full graph of the capping force on a computer screen, SI Instruments claims.
