CCPT-01 Cup and Container Peeling Tester

Introduction

The Yogurt Container Lid Film Peel Tester is an essential instrument for measuring the mechanical seal strength of yogurt container lids. This tester ensures product integrity and consumer safety by evaluating the forces required to peel off the lid from the container. In an industry where packaging quality directly impacts consumer trust, this tester plays a crucial role in the food packaging sector.

Standards Overview

ASTM F2824: Standard Test Method for Mechanical Seal Strength Testing

ASTM F2824 is a recognized standard that outlines the methodology for assessing the mechanical seal strength of round cups and bowl containers equipped with flexible peelable lids. This standard provides detailed instructions for performing peel tests, emphasizing the importance of testing under consistent conditions. The typical angle of pull for these tests is 45 degrees; however, the method allows for other angles to accommodate various testing requirements.

Other Relevant Standards

In addition to ASTM F2824, the Yogurt Container Lid Film Peel Tester adheres to ISO 17480, which further guides the mechanical seal strength testing of packaging materials. These standards ensure that the testing process aligns with global quality assurance measures.

Application

The Yogurt Container Lid Film Peel Tester is specifically designed for yogurt containers but is versatile enough to accommodate a variety of packaging types, including ready meals, creamers, and other food products in rigid or semi-rigid containers. The ability to test multiple container shapes—round, oval, and rectangular—ensures that manufacturers can maintain high standards of quality across their product lines.
