Compression

” Stacking forces generated during warehouse storage and transit can generate severe compressive loads. Compression tests are an essential part of the package design process. Lansmont offers a full range of Compression Test Systems to determine the performance of unit loads, individual packages, components, and materials under compressive loads. This information enables the engineer to minimize damage, costs, and liability due to stacking failure. ”

Clamping Compression Tester

Severe horizontal compressive forces occur when packaged-products are mechanically handled at different points within the supply chain. Packages can also experience extreme horizontal compressive forces in both the e-commerce and parcel environments as fast moving packaged products accumulate at various points in those supply chains.
