  1. Carton Force Analyser - Cfa Hanatek

    Carton Force Analyser - Cfa Hanatek
    The Hanatek Carton Force Analyser measures the forces that limit the running speed of folding box board packaging. By measuring the stiffness of the substrate and crease bending resistance the user can optimise cartons for faster running and packaging speeds. The instrument allows individual creases to be analysed identifying problem areas in packaging design or manufacture. Industry research indicates that the packaging speeds of pre-glued skillets is governed by the energy required to open creases. The Hanatek CFA is the first instrument to isolate and accurately measure this key parameter. The instrument measures: Bending resistance, bending moment, bending stiffness, crease recover stiffness, crease folding force, crease opening force. The Hanatek CFA can measure crease folding force at 90°, crease folding force at any angle up to 145°, board stiffness at 15° and 7.5°, individual crease opening force and whole carton opening force. It features touch screen operation for quick and easy operation. There are variable sample lengths available, rotation speed and crease angle. The instrument allows you to connect to a network to allow results or printer sharing. There is an online graphical help to ensure consistent operation within test methods and the interactive help routines ensure little training is required to operate the device. The Hanatek CFA is pre loaded with ASTM/TAPPI/ISO methods with the ability to create bespoke tests and in complain with all major international standards.
