The "heavyweight" drop tester accommodates large products such as home appliances, large screen televisions and computer equipment ensuring simulation of true freefall drops. Transient acceleration signals are displayed on the system monitor and the computer analyses the results.

The "lightweight" model tests smaller lighter packages that are generally handled manually.

 

The inclined plane simulates sudden arrest - such as a rail car shunting or a vehicle stopping rapidly. A test often required for the white goods industry and where products are stacked together on a pallet.

The individual talents and collective experience of SCA Foam Products design team, backed by state of the art testing facilities, always leads to exciting new foam solutions.

 

  Warehouse damage is dramatically reduced by our ability to recommend the correct materials and density suitable for clamp truck and manual handling. Using a calibrated clamp truck for 'real life' trials we measure pressure/deflection - vital information required to design protection for the vulnerable sides of large products.
Our transport simulator imitates the movement and vibration a product would be subjected to whilst being transported on a vehicle. This covers all road conditions and journey lengths. The pack moves freely on the simulator and all faces of the package are tested, facilitating an accurate test for mixed loads.
