More and more of your customers are choosing to enjoy wine 'on the go' and 'ready to drink' and the innovative metal can one way of meeting that requirement.
Your needs
Your wine is a quality product and quality of packaging is essential to your brand reputation. Reliable opening of the can is the final customer touch-point that must deliver an enjoyable experience.
Our solutions
We at Mecmesin have years of experience in packaging testing, our solutions helping our customers to twist, push, peel, tear and of course, pull.
The important considerations in reliably testing the ‘pop-and-tear’ performance of a can are:
- to securely grip the potentially slippery cylindrical surface without crushing the can
- lift the tab ring in a representative way without affecting the measurement of the force
The correct accessories to perform to test is vital to obtain valid results. We have a comprehensive range, and we can also make custom fixtures for your unique requirements.
Motorized testing for consistency
A motor-driven tester will pull the can tab at the same speed every single test.
Our adjustable holder fixture, with soft rubber pegs, accommodates a range of containers of all shapes and sizes.
The chain link fixture with hook provides flexibility to allow the pull-tab to move freely - ensuring that the measured values are representative and repeatable.
Measure all events
Our touchscreen-operated digital gauge has live graphing of the force exerted.
The indicator of 'openability' for a stay-on-tab design is the peak effort required to breach the score end-shell tab on the lid surface.
The graph clearly shows this event as the first peak and continues to measure the force to lift the tab further.
The benefits
Taking control of the quality checking of your beverage product packaging is as convenient as canned wine.
Your brand values can travel to new customers safe in the knowledge that a quality experience will be open to them.
