Packaging line downtime is very expensive for companies with automatic form and fill lines. That is why major multinationals use the Newton Carton Tester to ensure that crease strength and friction coefficients meet set parameters, reducing downtime and packaging costs and improving customer service.

An uninterrupted flow of cartons through automatic form and fill lines is dependent upon the quality of the creases and the friction between the carton's surfaces. The quality of the impressed creases is measured by the torque required to fold a crease, the spring back force of a crease and the force required to open a carton (Box Opening force). The ‘slip’ between adjacent flat cartons is measured by the co-efficient of friction (Slip Angle).

The Newton Carton Tester tests all these parameters, collecting data on 4 individual measurements into a single database for easy analysis, Delivering many benefits to carton users

• Reduced Down time on Packing lines and associated wastage
• Reduced Packaging Costs
• Improved Customer Service
• Improved Supplier Management
