PACKAGING: Inclined Plane Friction Tester

The Hanatek Inclined Plane Friction Tester is a low cost but extremely accurate instrument for determining the static friction coefficient of flat surfaces.

Designed for use in the packaging industry to measure the static slip of unprinted carton board, printed cartons or plastic films and their coatings, the instrument is suitable for measuring other products including leather, textiles and paper.

Results are displayed in both coefficient of friction and slip angle with batch analysis and can be output to the optional Hanatek results printer.


Features

Who measures slip/friction?

Friction testing is used in the packaging industry to measure the slippyness of a product, with the aim of predicting feeding and runnning speed on an automatic gluing, erecting, filling or packaging line.
