Crush / RCT / ECT / FCT Tester – Computerised
Crush / RCT / ECT / FCT Tester – Model KCBT-300 | Computerised Corrugated Board Strength Testing Machine
The Katpot Systems Crush / RCT / ECT / FCT Tester – Model KCBT-300 is a versatile and computerised testing machine designed to evaluate critical corrugated board strength parameters including Ring Crush Test (RCT), Edge Crush Test (ECT), and Flat Crush Test (FCT). These tests directly predict carton compression strength, stacking performance, and overall packaging reliability.
The KCBT-300 plays a vital role in controlling flute quality, ply bonding, and paper strength, helping board and carton manufacturers select the correct board grades for heavy-duty and export packaging. By validating ECT, FCT, and RCT values at the board level, it significantly reduces failures during box compression and stacking, ensuring consistent carton performance in real logistics conditions.
Equipped with multi-test capability in a single machine, the KCBT-300 minimizes lab dependency while improving testing efficiency. Its high-capacity load cell, controlled compression speed, and precision-aligned dedicated fixtures ensure accurate, repeatable, and error-free results across all board grades. Optional data logging support enables trend analysis, batch comparison, and process optimization, making it an essential instrument for corrugation plants, packaging R&D centers, and quality control laboratories.
