Top-Load/Crush Testers
Top-load testing or crush testing is often a measurement of the resistance of a package or product to a compressive load, to the point where it deforms or collapses. Computer-controlled Top-load/Crush Testers

Top-load testing or crush testing is often a measurement of the resistance of a package or product to a compressive strength or compressive load, to the point where it deforms or collapses.
In the case of PET bottles and cans, the compressive strength must be strong enough to withstand the capping process as well as being stacked (up to 3 metres high for PET) during storage and shipment. Variations in production equipment, materials and container design have produced many variables over the years, leading to top-load crush failures both on the capping line and during stacking at various stages of the distribution cycle.
Government regulations for environmental protection have been developed over time to limit the amount of primary resource material used in these single-trip containers. Manufacturers need to know if these containers can be made from less material and at the same time withstand the required top-load crushing strength, a process called downgauging.
