TECHLAB SYSTEMS has recently supplied a VAL-150 Compression Tester to CRIL (Centro Ricerca e Incontri sul Legno e Logistica) in Italy, a prestigious institution dedicated to research and testing in the wood sector. This state-of-the-art equipment will enable CRIL to perform specific flexion and compression tests on wooden pallets, ensuring compliance with the quality and strength standards required by the industry.

The new VAL-150 Compression Tester replaces CRIL’s previous testing machine, offering greater precision and reliability in assessing the load capacity and deformation of pallets. Among the tests that can be performed with this equipment are:

• Flexion tests: Evaluation of the strength of stringers and crossbeams from pallets under distributed and concentrated loads.
• Compression tests: Analysis of the load capacity of the pallet surface, simulating real storage and transportation conditions.
• Structural strength tests: Verification of the pallet’s integrity under different usage and handling scenarios.

We would like to thank CRIL for the trust placed in TECHLAB SYSTEMS for this project, as well as acknowledge the excellent work carried out by our exclusive distributor in Italy, the company DGTS, represented by Benedetto Campana, whose collaboration has been essential to the success of this supply.

With this new project, TECHLAB SYSTEMS reaffirms its commitment to innovation and quality in material testing, contributing to the development of advanced solutions for the wood industry.

Problems in the supply chain due to flap separation in corrugated cardboard boxes: TECHLAB SYSTEMS Presents Innovative Solution

The separation of flaps in corrugated cardboard boxes is a recurring issue that severely affects the supply chain. When the joints of the boxes come apart, the packaging’s integrity is compromised, which can lead to product damage, returns, additional costs, and delivery delays. This presents a significant challenge for both manufacturers and consumers of this type of packaging, which is critical in sectors such as logistics and distribution.

In response to this issue, TECHLAB SYSTEMS has developed an innovative solution: the JT-55 equipment, specifically designed to measure the adhesive strength of the joints in corrugated cardboard boxes, following the FEFCO 55 standard. This high-precision equipment will allow box and packaging manufacturers to ensure the quality of adhesive joints, minimizing the risk of failure and ensuring safer and more efficient product transportation.

The implementation of the JT-55 will not only improve quality standards in the corrugated cardboard industry but also benefit consumers by reducing the number of incidents related to defective packaging. Furthermore, companies will be able to optimize their supply chains by avoiding problems caused by packaging failures.

For more information about the JT-55 equipment and other solutions, you can visit TECHLAB SYSTEMS’ website at www.techlabsystems.com or contact us via email at info@techlabsystems.com.

This past weekend, our production technician Ander Gamón took another big step in his automotive career by making his debut in the 46th edition of the Jaizkibel Hill Climb. The pilot from Irun did so aboard a Peugeot Spider 207 THP. This prestigious mountain racing event was even more special for Ander, since his father also participated, with the world of motorsport being one of the great passions of the Gamón family.

The pilot from Irun was sponsored by Techlab Systems, the company where he has worked as a production technician for more than 6 years.

At the same time, Ander remains second in the Valencian Community Speed ​​Tournament and is leading his class thanks to the results obtained after competing on the Jarama circuit. The next event will be at the Calafat Circuit, the last race that will close the championship in the month of October.

Ander also raced at the Motorland Circuit in the month of July aboard his Seat León MKII and established himself at the head of the Aragon Speed ​​Tournament.

Story of a pilot

Ander Gamón grew up surrounded by engines, spark plugs and pistons. At the young age of 10 he began competing in Karting, standing out in each of the categories in which he has participated. Among his achievements, the following stand out:
