Introduction to the Cardboard Puncture Strength Testing Machine (PST-01)

The Cardboard Puncture Strength Testing Machine (PST-01) is an essential tool for evaluating the puncture resistance of corrugated and container boards. By measuring the energy required to puncture a material using a pyramidal point attached to a pendulum, this machine helps manufacturers and quality control labs assess the durability and toughness of their packaging materials. The test results are reported in "puncture units," a combination of the energy needed to tear and bend the material during the puncture process.

This Cardboard Puncture Strength Testing Machine is widely used in industries such as packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages, ensuring that packaging materials can withstand punctures and impacts during transport and handling.

Working Principle of the Cardboard Puncture Strength Testing Machine

The PST-01 Cardboard Puncture Strength Testing Machine operates using a puncture head, which is designed as a stainless steel right-angled triangular pyramid. This head is attached to a solid arm that swings under a controlled load through a precise arc. The specimen, typically cardboard or corrugated board, is clamped securely between two horizontal plates – one fixed and one spring-loaded.

As the pendulum arm swings, the puncture head penetrates the sample through a triangular hole in both plates. Once the puncture occurs, a collar affixed to the puncture head ensures that the hole remains open, preventing any braking effect on the pendulum. This ensures highly accurate and repeatable results.
