Metal Screw Closure Torque Tests
Metal screw closures, such as the 'Stelvin', have become a popular closure for wines, as they are considered to provide a more effective seal. Torque tests can guarantee seal quality.
BENEFITS
Torque tests performed on screw caps can help:
- Assess consistency of screw cap manufacture
- Establish if capping machine is set-up correctly
- Identify poorly fitted closures before shipment
TEST SOLUTION
Mecmesin offers two torque testers, one manually-operated, one motorised, and purpose-built fixtures to meet your test and evaluation requirements.
