Clamping Compression Test System
The Advanced Clamping Compression Testing solutions through our partnership with Lansmont, designed to evaluate how packaged products perform under severe horizontal compressive forces encountered throughout the supply chain.
Why Clamping Compression Testing?
During logistics operations, products are often subjected to intense side compression forces, especially when:
- Handled using forklifts and clamp trucks
- Transferred between pallets, slip sheets, or conveyors
- Moving through high-speed e-commerce and parcel environments
- Accumulating at sorting and distribution points
These forces can significantly impact packaging integrity, making clamping compression testing essential for real-world validation.
System Overview
The Clamping Compression Tester replicates these horizontal forces by applying controlled clamping pressure to packaged products, allowing engineers to:
- Evaluate package strength and deformation
- Identify failure points under side loads
- Validate packaging for modern supply chain conditions
- Ensure compliance with global testing standards
Stationary Stand with Mast & Carton Clamp
The system features a robust stationary stand with integrated clamp mechanism, enabling realistic handling simulation:
