Quality control test instruments for the flexible packaging industry sector

Hanatek Instruments are designed to improve packaging line speeds and reduce costs by producing materials that have the same batch to batch quality.

Products

Crease and Board Stiffness Tester (CBT1)

The Hanatek CBT1 Crease and Board Stiffness Tester gives board manufacturers, printers and packing companies the ability to predict the ‘runability’ of a sample board or finished carton.

Carton Force Analyser (CFA)

The Hanatek Carton Force Analyser measures the forces that limit the running speed of folding box board packaging. By measuring the stiffness of the substrate and crease bending resistance the user can optimise cartons for faster running and packaging speeds.

Carton Crease Proofer (CCP)

The Hanatek Carton Crease Proofer (CCP) allows the user to produce production quality crease samples without committing valuable machine time. The instrument can assist in checking ink and coating flexibility. 

Film Shrink Tester

The Hanatek FST Film Shrink Tester is used to measure the effect of temperature on plastic films. The application of heat causes certain plastic films to rapidly contract; this effect can be used to seal and pack many items from food to consumer goods.

Compact Friction Tester

Friction tester provides detailed information of the slip characteristics of packaging material. Surface slip is a key factor when printing, erecting or filling packaging materials on an automatic line. 

Advanced Friction Tester (COF Tester)

Coefficient of friction is also known as COF testing. The Hanatek Advanced Friction Tester is the most comprehensive tool available for measuring the coefficient of friction of plastic film, printed cartons, packaging substrates or paper.

Novo-Shade Duo Reflectometer

This is used for measuring the hiding power of a plastic film or coating. Measure the shade of surface such as paper on a greyscale.

Melt Flow Indexer (MFI)

The Hanatek Melt Flow Indexer (MFI) is one of the most advanced instruments available for the measurement the melt characteristics of thermoplastic polymers.

Novo-Haze TX Transmission Hazemeter

Fast and accurate measurement of the optical quality of plastic films and other transparent materials. This instrument measures total transmission and haze according to ASTM D1003 (CIE C), the most important standard used in most QA applications.

Rub Tester and Abrasion Tester (RT4)

The Hanatek Ink Rub Tester (Rub & Abrasion Tester) brings new levels of repeatability and convenience to testing the durability of inks and coatings on any printed material. The instrument is used for testing the scuff, marking and rub resistance of cartons, films and commercial printed material.

Precision Thickness Gauge (FT3)

The Hanatek FT3 Precision Thickness Gauge is specifically designed to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of a variety of substrates including film, paper, board, foil, tissue and textiles.

Precision Thickness Gauge (LAB)

The Hanatek Precision Thickness Gauge (LAB) FT3-V is specifically designed for use by testing laboratories. Compliance to multiple standards is achieved by varying the weight applied to the measurement platen and interchangeable measuring heads to vary the contact area.

Variable Force Precision Thickness Gauge (FT3-V)

The Hanatek FT3-V Variable Force Precision Thickness Gauge is specifically designed to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of a variety of substrates including film, paper, board, foil, tissue and textiles.

Universal Sample Cutter

The Hanatek Universal Sample Cutter has been designed for the simple cutting of samples for the packaging laboratory. Multiple samples of the same shape can be made from a single sheet and is suitable for a variety of substrates.
