• The EJA Vantage Tensile Tester comes in 1 kN, 5 kN, and 10 kN models
• We have just introduced our new 2 kN Universal Materials Tensile Tester
• The EJA Vantage tensile testers are  powerful computer-controlled tensile testers with the flexibility to perform a wide range of tests including tensile, flexural, compression, peel, tear, friction, cycling and modulus.

• The Vantage Burst Tester is ideal for testing resistance to burst of paper tissue, toweling and nonwovens
• Meets ASTM D6548, TAPPI T570, ISO 12625-9, CEN1265-9

• Thwing-Albert’s Vantage ZDT Tester is a compact, precision PC-controlled instrument that measures the internal fiber bond strength of paper, paperboard, liner board and coated fine papers.
•  Z-Directional force provides an indication of expected material performance relating to glue-bonding of carton corners and seams, delamination, and the use of high tack coatings.
• The ZDT Tester is a fully automated instrument that performs sample compression, dwell time and ZDT.
•  A self-adjusting test platen ensures uniform tension is applied to pull the sample apart.
• Adheres to the following industry standard:  TAPPI T 541

• The Vantage Compression/Softness Tester is a compact, PC-controlled instrument that provides an objective measure of material softness by evaluating sample loft, thickness, compressibility and structural softness
• Ideal for sheet materials including paper tissue, toweling, non-wovens and textiles.

• MTA-2000P (up to 1100 kPa)
  This tester is ideal for testing paper and lightweight material.
• MTA-2000C (from 350 to 5500 kPa)
  This tester is ideal for testing paperboard , corrugated board, and heavy-weight materials.

• The CT-2000 Crush Tester is designed to perform standard TAPPI fiberboard tests such as Flat Crush, Edge Crush, Ring Crush and Pin Adhesion.
• It determines the compression strength of corrugated fibreboard and its components for Quality Control and R&D

• All genuine GurleyTM bending resistance/stiffness testers measure the force required to bend a wide variety of materials under controlled and repeatable conditions.
• This force may be equated to stiffness, resilience,   flexibility or pliability, depending on the nature of the material and purpose of test. There are 15 possible specimen sizes and an unlimited range of thicknesses up to 6 mm.
  
• The 1270 PCA measures the force to open or bend paperboard and scored paper carton.
• Force data is vital for accurately configuring machinery that controls cartons on form, fill and seal lines and to analyze carton performance for runnability and quality control.
• The ability to predetermine settings in the production of cartons can increase overall efficiency.
• Maintaining identical package specifications between the producer and the packager has also shown to be of mutual benefit for increasing savings in less reworks, rejects and down-time.
• The 1270 PCA also measures spring back after folding providing critical information for sealing or gluing operations.
  
  

• The dart drop tester is an easy-to-use, ergonomically designed instrument used to measure the impact resistance of plastic film, coated paper and other materials.

Model 1314 Internal Bond Tester, utilizes the Scott method to produce a high speed Z- direction rupture of paper and paperboard. It is a dynamic test that measures and defines strength in terms of energy absorption.

• The RAS-21 is a state-of-the-art rub tester used to determine the abrasion resistance of different materials-printed, coated, wet or dry, on paper, cardboard or foil.
• Abrasion resistance is a desirable and sometimes a critical property
• Unit is available standard or with a heated test platen.

• The QC-3A Tensile Tester is ideal for anyone who is simply looking for Peak Force, Elongation, Compression and TEA (Tensile Energy Absorption), and does not require very much crosshead travel
• The QC-3A can utilize Compression Plates and a COF Fixture
• Single screw unit that provides up to 5 kN (1000 lbs) tensile force.

The Cobb test measures the water absorptiveness of paper board or other materials is a function of various characteristics such as sizing, porosity, etc

Thwing-Albert is pleased to announce that we now offer two different Cobb Testers.  We offer the traditional manual Gurley Cobb Tester, and now we offer the ACT-2500 Automatic Cobb Tester.
