Page Pull Tester

The Page Pull tester tests the strength of book binding. It does so by measuring the strength required to pull pages out of books and magazines. Book binding quality is based the use of adhesives and glues to bound the book. These adhesives can be of various types. This machine tests the quality of these after  the book binding process.

The Page Pull tester tests the spine gluing of paperbacks. For example, directories, magazines, hardcovers, books and catalouges. Thus, it determines the minimum bending strength required. It also tests rupture testing. As the materials that stick should have signs of rupture. This after the pages are separated from the surface.

This machine has a digital display. Thus, ensuring easy to generate results. As well as high accuracy. It has a measurement accuracy of +0.3%. Thus, it adheres to required quality standards. The Page Pull Tester has been designed and manufactured to measure the strength required to pull apart pages out of bound books/magazines; thus displaying force on the digital read out.

The Page Pull Tester is manufactured using:
• Sturdy steel housing
• Aluminium base plate, with marked guide lines for central positioning
• Pneumatic operation
