SI Instruments mini TehloTest bottle-capping force tester

The mini TehloTest can be used for measuring head load force in capping machines. The wireless edition of the head load tester is now available in a miniaturised size suitable for small bottles, at 42 mm in diameter and 101 mm tall.

The tester can be wirelessly operated from a distance of up to 30 m, with no wires to be pulled or damaged while the unit travels through the capping machine. Designed for use in the production line, the tester consists of two parts: the mini TehloTest unit containing the load cell – in a custom-made sleeve to imitate the exact size and shape of the bottles – and the user interface, containing the control module.

EasyPlot graphing software makes it possible to obtain a full graph of the capping force on a computer screen.

The tester is easy to use, with clear intuitive controls. It features a large, easy-to-read backlit LCD with interchangeable units of measurement (N, kg or lb).
