Designed to evaluate box performance, the SqueezerPro is a valuable investment for researching the effects of various board mediums, closures, interior partitions, and other box design variables on compressive strength performance.
The SqueezerPro can also be used for distribution simulation compression testing on individual packages.
Meets the requirements of key international test standards for testing the compressive strength of cardboard/fiberboard packaging, such as the ISTA 6-Amazon protocol, the certified packaging program developed by Amazon and ISTA to address the risks of damage to packaging throughout the Amazon distribution channel

Features
Bench-top tester
Self-contained compact design for testing in production or laboratory environments
Powered by VectorPro
Measure maximum force using predefined or your own custom test programs, with real-time display of force and deflection
Accuracy and consistency
Precision aligned specimen platens ensure accurate and consistent test results
Precision control
Easy-to-use control panel for setting precise test parameters and colored LEDs indicating instrument status
The standard system has a platen size that is 30 in. (76 cm) square with a maximum opening of 48 in. (122 cm). An optional extended platen is available for testing larger boxes/packages. Both platen options can be either fixed or fixed/floating configurations. Maximum force capability is 5000 lbs. (22.2 kN).
Commonly installed directly on a laboratory bench or with an optional instrument test stand. The self-contained test system only requires electrical power to operate.

VectorPro™ software
VectorPro is our advanced force measurement software, featuring batch testing functionality that uses pre-configured tests to create semi-automatic or fully automatic testing on groups of products and product batches.
This feature simplifies testing by automatically creating the new test with a graph for every sample, exporting data and printing test reports. Test reports can display overlay graphs or individual test graphs.
Batch testing enables monitoring of the batch progress and can be started, paused and restarted at any time.
