Pacorr’s Bottle Cap Torque Tester is a precision testing instrument engineered to measure the torque force required to open or close bottle caps. This device is essential in ensuring that caps are applied with the correct force—tight enough to prevent leakage, but not so tight that consumers struggle to open them. Widely used in the pharmaceutical, beverage, cosmetics, and chemical industries, Pacorr’s torque tester plays a critical role in maintaining packaging quality and product safety.

By delivering precise torque readings, this tester allows manufacturers to maintain consistent capping performance, reduce product waste, and enhance the overall packaging experience.

What is a Bottle Cap Torque Tester?

A bottle cap torque tester is a laboratory and production-line tool designed to assess the amount of torque (rotational force) needed to remove or apply a screw-type bottle cap. It ensures that closures meet set standards for seal integrity, tamper resistance, and ease of use.

Pacorr’s torque tester provides accurate and repeatable results, making it a trusted solution for quality assurance teams. It is compatible with a wide range of bottles and caps, including PET, glass, aluminum, and HDPE containers.

Importance of Torque Testing in Packaging

Torque testing is essential to:

• Prevent Leakage: Ensures caps are tight enough to seal the product securely.

• Maintain Freshness: Preserves product quality by keeping contaminants out.

• Enhance User Experience: Guarantees caps are easy to open, especially for end-users.

• Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Meets industry standards like ASTM and ISO.

• Improve Manufacturing Efficiency: Detects inconsistencies early in production.

By regularly measuring torque values, companies can avoid sealing failures and ensure reliable packaging performance.

Industries That Use Bottle Cap Torque Testers

Pacorr’s bottle cap torque testing machines are widely used across multiple industries, including:

• Pharmaceuticals – For child-resistant and tamper-evident packaging.

• Beverages – To verify seal strength for water, juices, and carbonated drinks.

• Cosmetics and Personal Care – Ensuring consistent packaging for creams, lotions, and perfumes.

• Chemicals and Industrial Products – For secure closure of hazardous and sensitive substances.
