...for testing of opening performances on bottle closures

Opening Performance Test 180

For beverage filler and closure manufacturer, the opening performance of twist closures is an important quality parameter.
The OPT 180 opens a closure quickly and reproducibly on the original thread. Meanwhile, it records torque, rotation angle, vertical movement, pressure and temperature.

The OPT doesn’t exert any vertical force on the closure, making a blow-off-effect clearly visible. The recorded data is transferred to a PC and evaluated there.

Functional description:
A cut preform or bottle neck is fitted to a test bottle. The gas volume is adjusted by filling the bottle.
The OPT 180 closes automatically the bottle, pressurizes the test bottle and opens the closure after a short period of time.
