Compression Testing Machine

A compression testing machine is a universal testing machine (UTM) specially configured to determine a material's strength and deformation behavior under compressive (pressing) load. A typical compression tester consists of a load cell, crosshead(s), compression test tools, electronics, and a drive system.Compression machines are used to compress the powder or granules into uniform size and weight. The compression machine and tooling part are involved in the compression of tablets. So maintenance and lubrication of tooling is a very critical part of the pharmaceutical industry.A compression test is a method for determining the behavior of materials under a compressive load. Compression tests are conducted by loading the test specimen between two plates, and then applying a force to the specimen by moving the crossheads together.
