PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester

By simulating real-world stress conditions, the film pendulum impact tester evaluates how well a film can withstand sudden impact forces. This performance indicator is essential in predicting the durability of packaging materials during production, shipping, and handling. For manufacturers seeking compliance and consistency, the film pendulum impact tester ensures materials meet global standards, including ASTM D3420.

Overview: Film Pendulum Impact Tester

The Pendulum Impact Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the toughness and impact resistance of plastic films, foils, laminates, paper, and similar flexible materials. By simulating real-world impact forces, the tester helps manufacturers ensure that packaging materials can withstand drops, collisions, and handling stresses throughout the supply chain.

Applications of the Film Pendulum Impact Tester

Food Packaging Industry

Flexible packaging materials such as multilayer films are commonly used to preserve food freshness and extend shelf life. The Pendulum Impact Tester helps ensure these materials can withstand drops, punctures, and other handling stresses.
Example Applications:

Retort pouches for ready-to-eat meals
Vacuum-sealed packaging for meat or cheese
Snack packaging with metallized layers

Pharmaceutical/Medical Industry

In healthcare, packaging integrity is critical for protecting sterile products and ensuring patient safety. The tester evaluates the toughness of materials under simulated impact conditions.

Logistics/E-Commerce Packaging

With the rise of e-commerce, shipping bags and protective wraps need to resist tearing and impact during transportation. The tester helps optimize material formulations for better performance.
Example Applications:

Poly mailers and courier envelopes
Bubble wrap films and padded bags
Stretch and shrink wrap for pallet loads

Importance of Testing Film with the Pendulum Impact Tester

Impact resistance is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of flexible packaging materials. The Pendulum Impact Tester quantifies a film’s ability to resist tearing or rupturing upon sudden impact. This testing allows manufacturers to:

Prevent product damage during transportation
Optimize material formulation and layer design
Meet regulatory and industry-specific durability standards
Ensure consistent quality in high-volume production

Working Principle of the Pendulum Impact Tester

The tester works by releasing a pendulum from a known height to strike a clamped film specimen. The energy absorbed by the film in stopping the pendulum is measured precisely. The result is reported in joules or grams-centimeters, representing the material’s impact resistance.

Key elements of the test process include:

Securely clamping the film sample in a circular frame
Selecting an appropriate impact head or pendulum weight
Recording the pendulum swing before and after the strike
Calculating the energy difference to determine absorbed impact energy
