When the PET bottle will be delivered to the customers then there is a need of testing the torque value efficiently. This means that the rate at which the bottle will open and close accurately. Thus, to make sure that the force required to open a closed PET bottle is high, it is important for the PET bottle manufacturers to make the use of right lab testing instrument known as the torque tester digital. This is one of the high-quality lab testing equipment designed by the experts at Presto to determine the torque value of PET bottles. This lab testing instrument will give the result in a digital format. It comes with high-end features that make it easy for manufacturers to conduct torque tests on PET bottles with ease.
