• Durable Sealing Jaws: Constructed from aluminum and designed for even heat distribution, the encapsulated sealing jaws provide reliable performance and long-lasting durability.
• Customizable Parameters: This Hot Tack Tester allows the user to save multiple test parameter settings, streamlining repetitive testing and improving workflow efficiency.
• Advanced Safety Features: The instrument is equipped with auto-zeroing, overload protection, and over-travel protection, ensuring both the accuracy of results and the safety of the testing process.
• Data Management Capabilities: With an optional RS232 port and professional software, the device can connect to external systems for advanced data analysis and record-keeping, improving efficiency and traceability in testing labs.

Applications of Hot Tack Tester

The Hot Tack Tester plays a critical role in industries that rely on the quality of heat seals in packaging materials. This includes packaging for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other products that require secure and durable packaging solutions. The tester is particularly valuable in vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) operations, where minimal cooling time is available between sealing and filling processes. In such applications, evaluating the hot tack strength ensures that seals can withstand product weight and stress immediately after sealing.

Industries Benefiting from the Hot Tack Tester:

• Food and Beverage Packaging: Ensures that the packaging retains integrity during the filling process, preventing leaks or failures in heat-sealed products.
• Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging: Critical for ensuring that sealed medical and pharmaceutical products meet stringent safety and quality standards.
• Consumer Goods: Applicable for packaging solutions in daily consumer products that require strong and reliable seals to preserve quality.

How Does the Hot Tack Tester Work?

The Hot Tack Tester works by measuring the heat seal strength of thermoplastic materials immediately after sealing. Using heated jaws, the device applies controlled temperature, contact pressure, and test speed to seal the material. The hot tack strength is then measured under specified load conditions to ensure the seal can withstand typical stresses encountered in industrial packaging lines.
