VAL-30 Box Compression Tester (BCT) - 30 kN
Manufactured by Techlab Systems
This box compression tester machine has a maximum force capacity of 30 kN and is designed to perform compression resistance tests on boxes, pallets, packing and packaging up to 1250mm x 1250mm.
It comes supplied with an all-in-one touch screen PC and LYNX testing software with basic statistics to carry out BCT (constant speed), stacking (constant load), and cyclic tests.
These machines are customisable for platen size or distance between the platens.

- Quickness in the execution of compressive strength tests and in obtaining results without human error.
- Traceability according to ISO 9000.
- Storage capacity up to 100 tests per report.
- SAVE, PRINT AND COPY to CLIPBOARD functions.
- Reports in PDF format.
- Different language options: Spanish – English.
