Drop Tester – Model KDT-700
Drop Tester – Model KDT-100 | Computerised Packaging Drop Impact Testing Machine
The Katpot Systems Drop Tester – Model KDT-100 is designed to simulate real drop shocks experienced by packages during manual handling, warehouse movement, loading/unloading, and transportation. It evaluates the ability of packaging to protect products from impact damage caused by accidental drops in real distribution environments.
This tester plays a critical role in validating packaging design, cushioning materials, and overall pack integrity, helping manufacturers reduce transit damage, product returns, and customer complaints. By identifying weak faces, edges, and corners that fail first during impact, the KDT-100 enables packaging engineers to improve box construction and internal protection before shipment.
The machine supports multi-orientation drop testing (face, edge, and corner) to closely replicate real-world handling scenarios. With controlled drop height, a consistent release mechanism, and a rigid alignment structure, it delivers repeatable and reliable drop test results with minimal operator influence. Integrated safety guards and controlled release systems enhance operator safety during testing. The KDT-100 is essential for e-commerce packaging, electronics, FMCG products, export consignments, and packaging approval laboratories.
