Paper Tube / Core / Cone
Compression Tester

This is an equipment to test paper tubes / cores & cones for :

  1. Radial Compression / Crush.
  2. Flat Horizontal Compression / Crush.
  3. Flat Vertical Compression / Crush.

Significance :

Paper tubes, bobbins & cones are used as yarn carriers while paper cores are generally used for paper & plastic film reels.

If the core / cone is being used as Packaging Media, then Flat Crush is considered relevant. If however the core / cone is being used as a carrier or winding medium, then Flat Crush is irrelevant. When used as a winding media, the forces acting on the carrier act radially inwards and hence the performance of the carrier can be predicted suitably only by the Radial Crush method.

It is designed in such a manner that gradually increasing force is generated & applied on 66% of the surface of the carrier.

The sharp collapsing point can be easily detected and a suitable reading can be taken.

The collapsing force, which the carriers are capable of resisting, is dependent upon the following factors:

  1. Quality of paper.
  2. Quantity of paper.
  3. Quality of adhesive.
  4. Manufacturing process.
  5. Moisture content in the carrier.
  6. Physical size and dimensions.

It is very difficult for a user to know all the above factors and their influence on the strength of the carrier. It is equally difficult for a manufacturer to know the effect of each variable quantitatively.

But it is very easy for both the user and manufacturer to differentiate between good and bad and adopt a suitable standard of monitoring the quality of the carrier.
