Top-load crush test of plastic bottles
Case study
Silgan Plastics has utilised the Mecmesin tester in several of our plants over the last two years to monitor top-load. It brings a wealth of features at a very competitive price. We pride ourselves on being the forefront of container performance and capability and the 5-x top-load tester is a valued piece of our strategy.

The Mecmesin team was very flexible and easy to work with, showing a positive `can-do’ attitude for designing tests outside the normal scope of work. Through their advanced testing equipment, Mecmesin was able to accurately identify core performance differences between resins and provide an accurate measure of bottle strength metrics. As a result of the testing, we are able to appropriately select raw materials to suit each market, which allows us to accurately control packing, loading and supply of our products.

The Mecmesin MultiTest 1-x enables us to ensure the consistently high manufacturing quality of our PET bottles. The system conveniently allows us to perform top-load testing and confirm free height and integrates easily with our data collection system, increasing our analytical efficiency. I would have no hesitation in recommending this first rate instrument.
