Introducing Our company has been established in 1985 to fulfil the nowadays expanding requirements of production technology and quality assurance. In order to fulfil the highest requirements we have developed the newest generation of our precocious cap torque testers, the ST-120 Lab.

The machine is capable for both industrial and laboratory use and is able to test every kind of twist caps so even the caps with child resistant closure or the metallic pilver caps. Thanks the fexibly programm-able PLC control, the instument can be easily optimised on the variest conditions and measurment types from the precocious closing through the undistructive release to the special temper evident band tests.

The PLC can store up to 4000 datas (date, measure type, measured data) in its memory. The stored datas can be exported into excel sheets onto the pc for further analysation.

There is the possibility to send the measurement procedures real time datas on PC. The data aqusition PC software displaies the measurement procedure on XY graph. The graphs can be saved in folders.

The most important measuring methodes Application – Precisious cap application with a preset torque. Release test – Initial release torque measurement with adjustable characteristics Apply-release test – Measuring of the initial release torque belonging to a certain application torque. Ideal to define the closing torque settings for different container-cap combinations.

Release-apply test – Having reached the preset release fallback, the machine interrupts the release process and recloses the cap with a preset amount of torque. With correct settings the tamper evident band and the sealing will not demage, so the tested item can be sent back to the production line (method can be used both for carbonated and aseptic products). With this kind of testing it is possible to awoy the waste production in torque controlling, that may result significant savings at valuable products.

Undestructive release test – The machine tests weather the cap is releaseable with a certain amount of torque. Only on the failed items (release torque under limit) will the cap be released. On the output side this is a passed/failed type of test. The items passing the test can be sent back to the production line. This test mode opens up a new way to awoy waste production in torque controlling, that may result significant savings, just like by the release-apply test mode.

TEB Application Test – Measures and records the tamper evident bands maximum application torque together with its position angle. TEB Release Test – Measures and records both the initial release torque and the the tamper evident bands maximum bridge breaking torque and the position angles. Theese both test methods are the most required ones in the twist cap production industry.

Strip test – Measures the peak torque value, where threads break/deform in an on-torque/applicationcycle. This way it is possible to measure the maximal amount of torque that can be applied on a closure/container, without the permanent damage of the closure/container threads.
