Importance and Instrument of Food Package Testing

The purpose of food packaging testing is to check whether the packaging material can be processed to ensure that the packaging can protect the food. Protection includes ensuring the shelf life of food, packaging appearance that attracts consumers’ attention, and ensuring packaging performance throughout the entire transportation process. In order to meet the needs of food packaging testing and help food companies and food packaging companies to carry out quality testing of food packaging tests, Cell Instrument Co., Ltd. introduces elements and instruments related to food packaging testing in this article.

Food Package Testing Instruments for Strength

Strength tests include index tests such as material tensile strength tests, laminated film peel strength tests, heat seal strength tests, tear strength tests, and bag strength. Tensile strength is the maximum resistance value just before the material breaks. The peel strength test, also called the complex strength test, tests the bond strength between layers of laminated films. The hot seal strength test is to test the strength of seals. The resistance of the bag is the index that evaluates the resistance to perforation of the package against the rigid material. The relevant test instruments are as follows:
TST-01 Tensile tester for tension, break, elongation, peeling, tearing, seal strength test.
HST-01 and HST-02 heat seal tester
GHS-01 and GHS-02 high efficiency gradation heat sealing instrument

Food Package Testing Instruments for Leak Property

Through the sealing property test, it can guarantee the integrity of the whole package and prevent leakage and deterioration by the inferior sealing property.
LT-02 and LT-03 automatic leak tester, or manual leak tester LT-01
