Introduction

The CWY-01 Concora Medium Fluter is a high-quality instrument designed for producing standardized, fluted samples from corrugating medium. Used across packaging, pharmaceutical, food, electronics, and quality control industries, this tool is essential for ensuring the strength and durability of corrugated materials. By preparing samples for the Corrugating Medium Test (CMT) and Corrugated Crush Test (CCT), the CWY-01 enables manufacturers to meet quality standards and maintain product consistency.

Core Applications of the CWY-01 Concora Medium Fluter

The CWY-01 Concora Medium Fluter is essential for evaluating the strength of corrugating medium and other materials used in corrugated board production. Its primary function is to prepare uniform, fluted samples to be tested for compressive strength, allowing users to determine how well a material can withstand pressure and maintain structural integrity under load. Applications include:

  • CMT to measure the flat crush resistance of fluted samples
  • CCT to evaluate edgewise compressive strength for corrugated board

Used extensively in packaging, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and quality inspection, the CWY-01 supports manufacturers in testing materials with high reliability and efficiency.

Principles of Operation

The CWY-01 Concora Medium Fluter is engineered with precision and ease of use in mind. Its operation involves a few straightforward steps:

  1. Temperature Setting: Once the machine is powered on, the operator sets the temperature to ensure that the corrugating discs reach an optimal, stable temperature. This even heat distribution is crucial for forming accurate grooves.
  2. Sample Feeding: The corrugating medium sample is inserted from the top, where it passes through the heated discs, creating a uniform fluted shape.
  3. Preparation for Testing: The fluted sample is then placed in a CMT rack or CCT holder and is ready for compressive strength testing using high-precision testing equipment.

This systematic process ensures consistent, repeatable results, allowing for precise quality control in line with industry standards.

Relevant Standards and Testing Methods

The CWY-01 Concora Medium Fluter aligns with key industry standards, ensuring high-quality, standardized results:

  • ISO 7263: Corrugating Medium Test (CMT)
    • ISO 7263 specifies the Corrugating Medium Test (CMT), measuring the flat crush resistance of corrugating medium after fluting. This standard includes both ISO 7263-1 for conditioned samples and ISO 7263-2 for wet samples. The CWY-01 enables preparation of samples that adhere to these ISO requirements, ensuring accurate, reliable test outcomes.
  • ISO 16945: Corrugated Crush Test (CCT)
    • ISO 16945 focuses on the Corrugated Crush Test (CCT), which evaluates the edgewise crush resistance of corrugated board, a critical measure of material durability in packaging. The CWY-01’s ability to create precise fluted samples aligns with ISO 16945, facilitating consistent, standards-compliant compressive strength testing.
  • TAPPI T843: Flat Crush Test for Corrugating Medium
    • TAPPI T843 outlines procedures for testing the flat crush resistance of fluted paper. Using the CWY-01 to produce standardized samples in accordance with TAPPI T843 enhances accuracy and comparability in testing, critical for quality assurance in corrugated packaging applications.
