Motorized cap torque tester for bottle closures
Ensure precise seal integrity and compliance with bottle cap torque measurements, essential for maintaining product safety and meeting regulatory standards in liquid formulations.
Measures and Calibrates Bottle Cap Torque
The TM200 from SOTAX is a motorized cap torque tester designed to ensure precise and repeatable measurement of opening and closing torques on bottle caps, including child-resistant closures. With its motorized operation, the TM200 provides highly accurate torque readings, eliminating the inconsistencies of manual testing. Custom cap adapters accommodate various bottle cap shapes, minimizing measurement interference. It plays a crucial role in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food industries, measuring torques crucial for product integrity in items like prescription medicine bottles and protein shake containers. The TM200 offers quick-change adapters and a universal self-centering bottle holder, facilitating seamless integration into laboratory and packaging operations. Users benefit from robust data integrity, supported by 21 CFR part 11 compliant q-doc® software, ensuring comprehensive testing records. The equipment is designed for laboratory bench-top use, making it an ideal fit for precision testing in operations focused on liquid and semi-solid products.
