TestCentre for transport safety

Mosca has now opened a test centre where customers can test whether their products are well secured and packaged for transport. 

When goods are transported from A to B, they may be exposed to high loads. Vibration, shocks, jerky braking and acceleration have an effect on the transport securing. Mosca has now opened a test centre where customers can test whether their products are well secured and packaged for transport. 

In the new TechCentre from Mosca customers can use the Test the transport security of your goods let. From 28 June, the individual load units will slide, tilt and vibrate on various test stands. Customers can use the data collected to optimise their Quickly optimise backup and minimise the resources used. In the TestCentre, the company can simulate the loads that occur during transport on four test benches. This allows customers to ensure that the securing of their load unit can withstand the rigours of transport.

"Our primary goal is to minimise damage and injury during transport by packing and securing cargo units correctly and robustly. Companies need to be very aware of their responsibilities when placing goods on the market: After all, they are responsible for any damage caused by incorrect securing. That's why we carry out testing here at the TechCentre in accordance with relevant standards such as EUMOS 40509."

Legal protection for emergencies

In the event of an emergency, customers can use the test reports from the TechCenter to prove that they have taken all the necessary precautions and thoroughly checked their fuses. In order to be able to simulate all possible loads, several high-tech devices are available in the TechCentre: a Tilt Testing Tool for tilt tests, a Horizontal Stability Tester for horizontal accelerations or decelerations, an Impact Tester for impacts and crushing forces and a Vertical Vibration System for vertical vibrations.

There is also an evaluation unit that records deformations during the stability test with camera support. A data logger, which the company lends to customers, records the required data on shocks, vibrations and accelerations on the customer's transport route and thus helps to recreate individual routes in the TechCentre. "Thanks to the customised tests and the extensive data collected, our customers can understand their transport routes in detail and precisely adjust their transport security to this," explains Wieder.

This includes an examination of the resources used: "This often opens up Opportunities to significantly reduce primary packaging and thus save valuable resources", reports Wieder. "This is how we develop packaging that uses minimal materials but still protects the goods from damage." The developed CO2-product calculator then provides the exact emissions data for the packaging in question.

Comparison of different transport locks

Customers send several pallets with secured products and a maximum weight of 1.5 tonnes each to Mosca. This means that there is enough material available to carry out all tests, even if the products are insufficiently secured for transport or damaged. On request, the company straps or wraps the products in the adjoining showroom using its own machines, thus enabling the direct comparison between different types of packaging.

The grand opening of the TechCenter took place on 28 June with a Live demonstration, discussion round and lively exchange takes place. "With our TechCenter, we offer our customers professional support in securing and efficiently packing their individual load units - and thus contribute to greater safety in transport," says Timo Mosca, CEO of Mosca GmbH.
