Steinfurth
Torque Measurement Systems
When closure torque defines product quality and consumer experience
The opening and closing torque of bottles and containers is a critical quality parameter in the food and beverage industry. Too high torque frustrates consumers, while too low torque compromises sealing integrity and shelf life.
Steinfurth provides precise and proven torque measurement systems that help you control closure performance reliably – from simple manual checks to fully automatic, user-independent measurements.
Why Closure Torque Deserves Your Attention
Closure torque directly affects consumer usability, package integrity and process consistency. Variations in capping performance can quickly lead to complaints, leaks or rejected batches.
Steinfurth torque measurement solutions give you clear insight into how closures perform in real conditions, enabling early detection of deviations and confident quality documentation.
From Manual Checks to Automated Control – One Measurement Philosophy
Steinfurth torque systems are designed around the same core principles:
- Direct measurement at the container
- High repeatability and accuracy
- Clear, documented results
The product range allows you to choose the level of automation that matches your quality requirements – without compromising measurement reliability.
TMS 2000 – Manual Torque Measurement
