SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester for PET Bottles (Pneumatic Model)

The SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester measures the stress crack resistance of PET bottles, ensuring accurate and efficient quality control.

To test the stress crack resistance of multiple carbonated soft drink bottles.

The AT2E SCT-ECO Stress Crack Tester is a pneumatic model designed to test the internal stress in a bottle’s base and for determining the stress crack resistance of blow-molded PET carbonated soft drink bottles. By measuring the propensity for base cracking upon exposure to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a controlled environment, the user can simulate the long-term behavior of bottles. This machine doesn’t need electrical power to operate, just an air line.

Models available:

Single chamber, 6, 12, 18, 24, 26 or 30 testing stations
Double chamber, 32 or 36 testing stations
