Why do you need HTT-01 Hot Tack Tester?

In industries where packaging plays a pivotal role, ensuring the integrity of heat-sealed layers is of utmost importance. The HTT-01 Hot Tack Tester addresses this need by offering a comprehensive solution for assessing the hot tack strength immediately after sealing. The instrument's multifunctionality, precision, and safety features make it an indispensable tool for quality control in packaging processes.

What is the purpose of the HTT-01 Hot Tack Tester?

The primary purpose of the HTT-01 Hot Tack Tester is to evaluate the hot tack strength of heat-sealed layers. This is particularly critical in vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) processes, where limited cooling time demands robust hot tack force to prevent seal failure. Additionally, the HTT-01 serves as a horizontal tensile and peeling force tester, ensuring the overall reliability and integrity of seals across various materials.

Application

Hot Tack in Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) Packaging

The HTT-01 Hot Tack Tester finds its primary application in VFFS packaging. With contents introduced immediately after sealing and often involving substantial weights, a strong hot tack force is essential. The instrument ensures the maintenance of seal integrity, mitigating the risk of spills or package failures.
