Abstract:
The paper presents an original method for estimating the shrink sleeve label compressive force on packaging. One of the most popular methods of measuring deformations was used, i.e., the electrical resistance strain gauge measurement. It was assumed that the packaging was a thin-walled axially symmetrical vessel. The packing walls on one side are loaded with internal pressure generated by heating the liquid contained inside the packaging. On the other side, the film shrinking on the packaging generates additional deformation. By measuring the changes in circumferential deformations in the shrinking process at various packaging heights, it is possible to infer the uniformity of the film compressive force. Results of research on changes of these deformations over time with different intensity values of the shrinkage medium were presented.
