The RS-8401 Servo Control Container Compression Tester is a professional precision testing device designed for corrugated boxes, honeycomb boards, plastic containers and other packaging materials.
The ITM-LAB RS-8401 Packaging Compression Tester is designed for compression and stacking testing of cartons, corrugated boxes, plastic containers and complete transport packages.
With 10, 20 and 50 kN capacity options, servo-controlled platen movement and closed-loop test software, the system measures package compression strength, deformation and sustained-load performance under controlled test conditions.
| 10 / 20 / 50 kN | ±1% F.S. | 0.001–200 mm/min | Up to 1500 × 1500 × 1500 mm |

The RS-8401 supports both short-duration compression strength testing and sustained-load stacking evaluation.
| Compression Test | Stacking Test | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Determine package compression strength | Simulate sustained stacking load |
| Control | Controlled platen movement / load | Constant applied load |
| Duration | To specified endpoint or failure | Defined holding period |
| Evaluate | Strength + deformation + failure | Deformation + stability over time |
| Typical DUT | Cartons, boxes, containers | Complete transport packages |
CORRUGATED CARTONS | SHIPPING BOXES | PLASTIC CONTAINERS | RETURNABLE PACKAGING | HONEYCOMB PACKAGING | FILLED PACKAGES
From empty packaging structures to complete filled transport packages.
AC servo drive provides controlled platen movement for compression, deformation and sustained-load testing.
High-precision force measurement combined with 0.001 mm displacement resolution captures package load and deformation throughout the test.
Closed-loop software supports compression, constant load, pressure holding, constant deformation and constant-time testing, with test data recording and export.
Choose from 10, 20 or 50 kN capacities and multiple test spaces to match the package size and expected working load.

A package compression test is more than a maximum-force reading. The RS-8401 records force and displacement throughout the test to show how the package responds as the load increases.
Measure package strength, deformation and sustained-load behavior in one test.
| PRIMARY RESULT | DEFORMATION | CURVE ANALYSIS |
|---|---|---|
| Peak Compression Force | Deformation at Load | Load–Displacement Curve |
| Maximum load reached before structural failure or collapse. | Package deformation at a specified compression force. | Visualize the complete force and deformation response during compression. |
Do not select a packaging compression tester by force capacity alone. The package must also fit within the usable test envelope with sufficient clearance for loading and platen movement.
| Test Space | Typical Selection Basis |
|---|---|
| 1000 × 1000 × 1200 mm | Standard cartons and packages |
| 1200 × 1200 × 1200 mm | Larger shipping packages |
| 1500 × 1500 × 1500 mm | Large cartons and container assemblies |
Select the test space around the loaded package envelope—not nominal carton dimensions alone.
Do not select 10, 20 or 50 kN from package weight alone.
Compression capacity should be selected around the required test method, expected compression force, package construction and working load range.

The RS-8401 is designed for compression and stacking testing of cartons, shipping boxes, containers and complete transport packages.
Select the capacity according to the applicable test method and expected working compression force rather than package weight alone. If the expected force is unknown, provide the package details and test standard for configuration review.
Yes. Its closed-loop control system supports sustained-load testing for evaluating package deformation and stability under stacking conditions.
Available test spaces include 1000 × 1000 × 1200 mm, 1200 × 1200 × 1200 mm and 1500 × 1500 × 1500 mm. The appropriate configuration depends on the complete loaded package envelope and required clearance.
Depending on the configured test method, the system can record force, displacement and test data for evaluating compression strength, deformation and sustained-load performance.
Yes. Send the required test procedure, package dimensions, expected load and test conditions for configuration review.
