HT-2PC Auto Heat Seal and Hot Tack Tester

HT-2PC Auto Heat Seal and Hot Tack Tester

HT-2PC

Hot Tack Tester with automatic film feeding device for determination of the hot tack seal strength of packaging films, to ASTM F1921.

The HT-2PC Hot Tack Tester is a highly technical instrument designed to measure the ‘Hot Tack Seal Strength’ of flexible packaging materials. It follows the principles of ASTM F1921 Standard Test Method for Hot Seal Strength (Hot Tack) of Thermoplastic Polymers and blends comprising the sealing surfaces of flexible webs.

Parameter Templates

Parameter templates are used to load the required test settings. These are Single Test, Replicate Tests, Sequential Tests or Seal Initiation Tests. PLC control of all the parameters enables simulation of production packaging machines. A wide range of setting for each parameter enables testing of various materials to suit each application:

• Sealing temperature for top and lower sealing jaws, set individually.
• Sealing pressure
• Sequence timers for Delay Time, Dwell time, and Cooling Time
• Peeling speed
• Output configuration

  • Easily exchangeable jaws
  • Low maintenance
  • Easily calibrated
  • Optional film feeder for fully automatic measurements
  • Industrial PC with 15″ touch screen
  • 10mm wide seal x 40mm long as standard (5mm and 15mm optional)
  • Automatic film feeding for fast, operator independent test results.
  • Up to 40 hot tack tests per strip without need for operator supervision, with film sensor that pauses if the film breaks or runs out.
  • ‘Parameter templates’ for Single Test, Replicate Test, Sequential Test and Seal Initiation Test, giving simple and fast set-up.
  • A playlist (like a music playlist), that automatically advances tests.
  • Fully automatic PLC control of all test parameters
  • Industrial PC with USB and Ethernet connectivity
  • Meets standard ASTM F1921
