Stainless Steel Vibration Environmental Chamber For ISTA Packaging Testing

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Adjustable Chamber Design
  • The chamber is constructed with heavy-duty materials to endure the intense forces generated during testing. Its walls are made of high-strength steel, providing a stable and durable enclosure. The interior is highly customizable, with adjustable racks and fixtures that can accommodate a vast array of packaging sizes and shapes, from diminutive parcels to large freight containers. The door is equipped with a reliable sealing mechanism and a viewing window, allowing operators to monitor the testing process without disrupting the internal environment.
• Precision Vibration and Environmental Control Systems
  • Vibration System: Capable of generating a wide spectrum of vibration frequencies and amplitudes. It can produce vibrations ranging from 2 Hz to 2000 Hz with amplitudes up to 50 mm. The vibration system is engineered for accuracy and flexibility, enabling the replication of diverse transportation scenarios. Whether it's the gentle hum of a long-haul truck on a smooth highway or the jarring vibrations of a forklift in a warehouse, this chamber can faithfully simulate them. The vibration platform is designed to ensure uniform distribution of vibrations across the entire packaging sample, guaranteeing consistent and reliable test results.
  • Temperature and Humidity Control: The chamber can maintain a broad temperature range, typically from -20°C to +60°C, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The humidity control range extends from 10% to 95% relative humidity, with an accuracy of ±3% RH. These environmental controls are essential as temperature and humidity fluctuations during transit can have a profound impact on packaging materials. For example, high humidity can cause cardboard to soften and lose its structural integrity, while extreme temperatures can make plastics brittle or adhesives less effective.
• Intuitive Control Panel and Data Acquisition Interface
  • The control panel is user-friendly and allows operators to effortlessly set and adjust test parameters. They can precisely define vibration frequencies, amplitudes, temperature levels, humidity settings, and test durations. The panel also provides real-time displays of the current environmental conditions and vibration status, as well as any alarms or warnings. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system that records all relevant test data. This includes vibration waveforms, temperature and humidity histories, and any observable changes in the packaging's physical condition. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for in-depth analysis. The system can also generate detailed test reports in various formats, facilitating easy documentation and sharing of results.
• Safety Features and Alarms
  • To safeguard operators and the integrity of the testing process, the chamber is equipped with a suite of safety features. These include over-temperature, over-humidity, and over-vibration protection systems. Emergency stop buttons are strategically placed for immediate shutdown in case of an emergency. Alarms are triggered for any abnormal temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, vibration malfunctions, or other equipment failures. The chamber is also outfitted with proper ventilation and exhaust systems to handle any potentially harmful gases or vapors that may be emitted during testing.

3. Specific Parameters

• Vibration Parameters
  • The ability to produce vibrations from 2 Hz to 2000 Hz with amplitudes up to 50 mm offers a comprehensive evaluation of packaging. Low-frequency vibrations can mimic the slow oscillations of a ship at sea or a train on a long journey, while high-frequency vibrations can replicate the rapid jolts experienced during short-haul trucking or handling in a distribution center. The precise control of vibration frequency and amplitude is crucial for identifying potential weak points in packaging, such as loose seals, inadequate cushioning, or structural vulnerabilities.
• Temperature and Humidity Ranges and Accuracies
  • The -20°C to +60°C temperature range with ±0.5°C accuracy and 10% to 95% RH humidity range with ±3% RH accuracy provide a realistic simulation of the diverse environmental conditions that packaging may encounter during transit. Packaging materials must be able to withstand both cold and hot climates, as well as varying levels of humidity. For instance, a package shipped from a humid tropical region to a dry desert area will experience significant humidity changes, and this chamber can accurately replicate such scenarios.
