  • 1.  Testing Corrugate

    Posted 01-25-2023 12:45 PM
    Hello all

    I want to purchase some minor test equipment for my small office to run testing on corrugate pizza boxes. Can someone send me a list of equipment I will need to purchase? I'm looking for ECT, basis wgt, flute & caliper readings. Much appreciated!

    Tycee, 

    It could get very expensive based on how accurate you need the readings.  What's your end goal after capturing the data?  I've been able to get by with minimal equipment (jewelry scale, box cutter, caliper, soak tub, tape measure) and determine the estimated ect value based on the basis weight readings.

    Hi,

     

    I would also check out ABB Lorentzen and Wettre website https://new.abb.com/pulp-paper/abb-in-pulp-and-paper/products/lorentzen-wettre-products,

     

    they have some good equipment or maybe the TAPPI website

     

     

    Thanks
