Corporate Overview
Sure Torque (ST) began the development of the first electronic torque tester in 1985 in response to the needs
of manufacturing and quality control engineering departments for precision torque testing instrumentation, capable of
accurate, NIST certifiable torque measurement. Our equipment line offers rigorous testing of closure integrity, and is a
necessary requirement to meet today’s stringent specifications for quality control and data collection.
Our torque testers are currently an invaluable part of the production and quality control departments for major
corporations such as Abbott, Eli Lilly, Schering, Upjohn, Procter & Gamble, Coca Cola, S.C. Johnson, Gerber,
Seagram, Hershey, Warner Lambert, and Kraft General Foods, to name a few.
Container cap torque is important, not only for package appearance and product integrity, but mainly for
customer satisfaction and consumer safety. We fully support a total commitment to quality control at ST; after all, we
developed this advanced technology in response to the needs of our customers. ST continues to respond to our
customers’ needs by developing and manufacturing the most sophisticated, up to date electronic torque testers
available in the world today.
We know today’s consumers judge product quality based on many criteria, which include packaging,
appearance and overall effectiveness of the product. Cap torque not only impacts the package’s appearance, but more
importantly, the customer’s perception of the manufacturers’ level of quality and concern.
In today’s competitive market, the consumer avoids buying products if there is detectable evidence of product
leakage, product tampering or something as simple as a difficult to remove closure.
Quality control of the filling operation is concerned with possible product loss due to loose caps on liquid
products and the stability of both liquid and dry products. Stability is of particular concern with moisture sensitive
products, which require that the integrity of the container cap and the internal seal be maintained. Stability
considerations are critical since product loss due to evaporation or moisture absorption can cause significant changes
in potency and thereby the efficacy of the product.
Container closure application can significantly affect the success of a product and closure application defects
are detectable with the correct torque testing protocols in place, thus assuring closures meet certain specifications,
thereby assuring product integrity.
To achieve the desired level of product quality, manufacturers set certain specifications for acceptable torque
values, based upon container closure testing conducted on each container type.
At ST, our line of torque testing equipment is designed to not only conduct precise closure torque testing, but
to also provide data necessary for evaluation of a closure system’s compatibility to a container, efficiency of tamper
evident bands and closure or liner durability. This data will help determine a closure’s conformance to performance
specifications, and evaluate a capper’s capability.
Our customer service and parts departments are always willing to help you with ordering the proper parts, and
will answer any questions you may have about operation and maintenance of your machine.
ST invites you to attend a guided tour of our manufacturing facility including demonstrations of our laboratory
torque testing equipment. Please feel free to contact ST for information, brochures and specification literature for our
quality, state of the art, precision instrumentation.
Thank you for your interest in Sure Torque
We look forward to supporting your closure testing requirements.
