Description
Brought to you by Torus, the Torus Automatic Total Quality (TQ) Lab is a fully configurable system capable of measuring thread, body, thickness, internal diameter, top load, volume, weight and burst pressures.
Plastic packaging requires precision measurement of many aspects, such as material thickness, outer body and neck physical dimensions, neck diameter and volume as well as load testing for crushing and pressure.
The Torus TQ-Lab is a unique, total quality testing station for plastic packaging such as plastic bottles and jars, typically used for soft drinks, health supplements, cosmetics, and domestic cleaning products.

Total Quality Testing
The TQ-Lab can undertake all the necessary tests on both empty and filled plastic containers or preforms in a single system. The multi-module concept improves accuracy and repeatability, reduces time and labor costs and saves on floor space in production environments. Once batches of plastic containers are placed onto the turnaround conveyor, the operator simply selects the relevant program and walks away.
