Mecmesin Closure Torque Tester range

The complete range of Mecmesin Closure Torque Testers is available in Australia and New Zealand through SI Instruments.

Closure torque testing is a measure of the torque force required to either apply or remove a cap or lid on a container. This is frequently a two-stage measurement. For a tamper-evident cap, slip torque and bridge torque are measured. For a child-resistant closure, a concurrent measure of downward load applied must also be made.

Mecmesin’s Vortex-I Computer-controlled torque testing system is controlled via advanced software which allows users to create sophisticated test programs, the company says. Users can perform in-depth evaluation of results using the system.

With a range of capacities up to 10 Nm, the system is suitable for R&D or quality control laboratories.

The Vortex-xt Touch-Screen controlled system allows fast and efficient testing on the production floor. An easy-to-use touch-screen interface with quick test selection allows tests to be launched with one button. The standalone system does not require a PC and allows users to program, store and evaluate tests on one system.

The Vortex-d Motorised test stands are suitable for straightforward torque tests. Simple to operate, the stands combine with data acquisition software for additional test evaluation options. They also combine with Mecmesin’s digital torque display, AFTI.

For testing small rotary components and manual closure torque testing, Mecmesin also has available a range of digital torque testers, including the Tornado Digital Torque Tester and the Orbis Digital Torque Tester.
