MECHANICAL SUPPLY CHAIN SIMULATIONS ARE A CONTROLLED WAY OF APPLYING THE INFLUENCES TO WHICH PRODUCTS AND PACKAGES ARE EXPOSED DURING TRANSPORT.

An emergency break or other horizontal movements of the pallet load will affect the stability of the load. A horizontal shock test is performed to ensure that the load remains on the pallet during transport.

The impact speed is recorded in accordance with the test standard, and all four sides of the pallet are tested. This determines whether the pallet load is sufficiently stable on the pallet.

During transport, pallet loads undergo small drops–during the loading and unloading of containers onto and from a ship, for instance, or when handled by a forklift truck.

In order to understand the impact of this handling on the pallet load or the customers’ product, we conduct a drop test. The drop test can be conducted flat or as a corner fall.

The use of pallets in a distribution environment is often considered to be normal. However, pallets must also meet certain requirements. Pallets are strained in a different way in different environments.

For example, placement in a rack, stacking the pallet, lifting with a forklift and the pressure that the product will apply. The pallet performance test is used to determine the strength characteristics of pallets.

Low frequencies (< 50 Hz) often occur in transport. If your product reacts to these frequencies, this will need to be considered during the design process of the packaging, especially for electronic products.

A resonance test can help determine which frequencies affect parts of the product and ultimately break them with vibrations.

Through a vertical shock test, we can determine which G value is critical to your product. The shock-absorbing material inside the packaging should be designed in accordance with this value.

Is a product sensitive to high or low temperatures? Can high or low moisture levels cause damage?

By conducting a climate test, we can determine at which temperature or humidity degree your product will no longer function properly.

Working closely together with our customers, we will find the optimum packaging solution for every individual requirement.
