Lloyd Instruments TG5346 Peel Fixture
for Yoghurt Pot Foil Seals
This custom designed fixture consists of an angled platform that can
slide along the base plate and be locked into position by thumb screws
to enable the edge of the foil lid of the container to be positioned on
the machine centre line. A fully adjustable clamping arm, which can move
vertically and horizontally according to the sample size, secures the
container at the predetermined angle on the testing platform.
A top fixture (Model GF-11), connected by a non-elastic cord to the
upper boss on the testing machine, grips the container foil. The
machine's crosshead is driven upwards to test the force needed to peel
the foil from the container.
