GCC-20A Intelligent Bottle Cap Torque Tester

GMP Packaging Validation | FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Ready | CE Certified

Ensure container closure integrity and packaging seal validation with the GCC-20A, trusted by pharmaceutical and food safety laboratories worldwide.

Product Overview

The GCC-20A Intelligent Bottle Cap Torque Tester is a high-precision testing instrument designed for measuring the opening torque, closing torque, and tightening torque of bottle caps and closures. It is widely applied in packaging quality control and research testing across industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cosmetics, and daily chemicals.

For pharmaceutical manufacturers, consistent bottle cap torque is critical to ensuring container closure integrity (CCI), a key requirement under EU GMP Annex 1 and FDA guidance. The GCC-20A provides accurate, repeatable torque measurements with built-in data storage and thermal printing, supporting audit-ready documentation for GMP inspections.
