Why Use a Paper Core Compression Tester?
Paper cores serve as the backbone for materials wound in rolls. Weak cores can collapse under stacking or handling, leading to costly product damage and operational issues.
- Accurate Strength Evaluation – Ensures cores withstand vertical loads during storage and transportation.
- Compliance with Standards – Testing according to ISO 12048 (Compression test for transport packages) and TAPPI T804 guarantees global reliability.
- Cost Reduction – Prevents failures in production lines and minimizes product wastage.
- Quality Control – Validates supplier quality and helps manufacturers maintain consistent performance.
