Steinfurth Torque Measuring System TMS 2000

Brought to you by Steinfurth, our specialist testing brand for the food and beverage industry, the Torque Measuring System TMS 2000 is a reliable and manual torque measuring tool

designed to help producers maintain consistent closure performance and protect the consumer experience.

Importance of measuring torque

In the food and beverage industry, measuring the opening torque of bottles and other containers with twist-off closures is an important quality parameter. Maintaining the correct torque range helps manufacturers ensure closures are secure during transport while still being easy for consumers to open. It is a vital part for customer satisfaction, as the last thing a consumer wants is to find that they are unable to open their food or beverage.

Why it matters

The TMS 2000 helps manufacturers maintain consistent opening torque, reducing the risk of customer complaints and product returns.

By enabling quick, routine torque checks, it helps production teams identify closure issues early before they affect large batches.

Its manual operation provides a simple and cost-effective way to verify packaging performance without complex setup or automation.

How to use the Steinfurth Torque Measuring System TMS 2000

The Steinfurth Torque Measuring System TMS 2000 is a handy and robust torque measuring tool that is operated manually. It can be used in the laboratory for sample QA analysis, or near to the filling line.

For many routine tests, where neither precise reproducibility nor special test procedures are necessary, a manually operated torque measuring tool like the Steinfurth Torque Measuring System TMS 2000 is a sensible and favorable solution for manufacturers that need quick and reliable torque checks during production or quality inspections.

Easy to operate

1. Firstly, the container is fitted to the instrument’s clamp mechanism and then manually opened.
2. Then, the reactive torque is monitored and its peak value is displayed and stored afterwards.

This straightforward testing process allows operators to quickly verify removal torque levels and identify closures that fall outside acceptable limits, helping prevent packaging failures or consumer complaints.

It is also possible to measure the closing torque levels.

Calibration kit

We also offer a Calibration Kit specifically for the Steinfurth Torque Measuring System TMS 2000 so you can have confidence in the measurements of your torque measuring device.

Regular calibration helps ensure your torque measurements remain accurate and traceable, supporting consistent quality control across production batches.
