Lab Equipment

Our Quality Assurance division is equipped with modern lab equipment such as Oven, WVTR, Haze Meter, GC, Tension Meter, Micro Meter, Sealer, Light Box etc. to meet the stringent quality parameters of the converting industry.

 

WVTR Machine

Moisture/water vapor barrier levels are measured in mono films and laminates as this is a critical parameter in the packaging industry to ensure optimum shelf life of the product. Most important in Confectionery, Snack, Dairy, Culinary and Tea packaging.

GC Machine

Gas Chromatography measures the solvent retention trapped in each laminate as well as in the final laminate and considered to be a key tool in the packaging industry. It can also measure the purity levels of solvents which are widely used in this industry. This is a critical factor which ensures no smell/odor in your films.

Spectra Eye & K Proofer

By using the Spectra Eye, batch to batchcolor consistency can be measured & maintained as per required approved artwork. K Proofer assists in maintaining standard accuracy levels at all times in draw-downs.

Oven

Used for R & D purposes. Monitoring of keeping quality in finished laminates is expedited under relevant environmental conditions. This helps to test the suitability of packing in an accelerated environmental condition without running a full length storage trial

Sealer

Sealing can be done on mono layers, laminates by adjusting the three parameters of temperature, dwell time and pressure in order to meet the condition of packing machine at customer end. Being able to check the dual time and pressure and being able to adjust the  temperature to the required levels in order to meet the required parameters of the custom to ensure the contents in the package is up to the mark.

Chemical Scale

This equipment is used to measure the grammage in material, Ink & adhesive coatings.

Tension Meter

This is used to measure the bonding/lamination strength and sealing strength in laminates.

Haze Meter

Use of this is to measure transparency and haziness in clear films. Widely used for garment bags/pouches

Micrometer

Used for measuring layer thickness which are the main factors in your films/final laminate

COF

Testing of friction to ensure smooth machinability
