Plastic Industry Products

Notch Cutter

The Notch Cutter is designed for precise sample preparation, especially for impact testing of plastic materials. It ensures uniform notches with high accuracy, helping laboratories achieve consistent and reliable test results.

Melting Point Apparatus

This equipment is used to determine the melting point of materials with precision. It is ideal for quality control and research applications where accurate temperature measurement is critical.

Burst Strength Tester

The Burst Strength Tester measures the strength of materials like packaging films and sheets under pressure. It helps evaluate durability and resistance, making it essential for packaging and material testing industries.

Flammability tester

The Flammability Tester is used to assess the fire resistance of plastic materials. It helps industries ensure safety compliance by measuring how materials behave when exposed to flame.

Vibration tester

This machine simulates real-world vibration conditions to test the durability and stability of products. It is widely used to evaluate how materials and packaging perform during transportation.

Drop Tester

The Drop Tester is designed to check the impact resistance of packaging and products. It helps identify potential damage during handling and shipping, ensuring better product safety.
