RE409 B is a Motorized Digital Microcontroller based Compression Strength tester (With Window based software) :
Cardboard boxes should possess sufficient compression strength so that they do not get deformed or crushed when stacked one above the other either during transit or in storage. The compression strength is determined by placing the box on a flat platform and pressing it down from the top with the help of another flat plate by a motorized arrangement
RE Box Compression (Motorized) for Duplex and corrugated cartons with Bright LCD digital display. The unit comes complete with over travel protection.
`TARE’ and `P/H’ (Peak Hold) facility. A low cost compact tester for the packaging industry.
The equipment is very rugged with heavy cast iron base for stable performance at load. The highly sensitive load sensor is strategically placed to enable perfect corner to corner load results.

FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTING TEST RESULTS :
Size and construction of the specic shipping container under test. Grade and flute structure of corrugated fiberboard moisture content of the corrugated board (based on relative humidity).
Orientation of the box during the test.
Inner supports, if used during testing (wood, corrugated board, cushioning).
Contents (when box is tested with contents). Box closure.
