Crease and Board Stiffness Tester CBT1

Crease & Board Stiffness Tester allows board mills, printers and carton manufactures to predict the run ability of the board or a finished carton.

The CBT1 measures the force required to bend a crease to 90° and the board stiffness force at 15° after a 15 seconds pause. This instrument requires no pc software and automatically calculates the ratio between crease to board stiffness force.

This provides an quick indication as to the run-ability down a high speed carton erection and packing line.
