Recently, YANTE officially announced the market launch of its newly developed YT‑PTS Paper Tableware Stiffness Tester. The instrument is dedicated to mechanical performance testing of disposable paper tableware, accurately measuring the overall stiffness of paper plates and the bending resistance of paper knives, forks, and spoons. It provides a reliable quality evaluation tool for paper tableware manufacturers, inspection agencies, and research institutes.

As the national plastic restriction policy continues to advance, the market demand for pulp‑molded tableware is growing rapidly, making product quality control a focal point for the industry. The upcoming GB/T 27591‑2025 standard sets clear requirements for key indicators such as stiffness and load‑bearing capacity of paper tableware. The YT‑PTS tester is developed in response to this standard. It simulates the stress states during actual use—such as gripping and holding food—and records the maximum force under specified speed and displacement conditions, offering objective data for product design optimization and quality monitoring.

In terms of technical performance, the YT‑PTS employs a Cortex‑M4 ARM processor and a 24‑bit high‑speed analog‑to‑digital converter, ensuring fast response and precise sampling. The closed‑loop servo stepper motor, combined with a ball screw and dual‑shaft guide, guarantees smooth operation and accurate positioning. The 7‑inch color touch screen displays real‑time force‑displacement curves, making the test process intuitive. With a measuring range of 50 N, a resolution of 0.001 N, and an error within ±1%, it meets professional testing requirements.

Moreover, the YT‑PTS is well‑equipped for data management and smart functions. It supports U‑disk export of test data, has a built‑in thermal printer for on‑site report output, and offers USB and Wi‑Fi (2.4G) communication interfaces. It can connect to optional PC software or the QMS paper quality management system, enabling test data upload to the cloud and real‑time monitoring, helping laboratories and enterprises build digital quality control links.

The launch of this instrument enriches YANTE’s product line in the paper testing field and provides the paper tableware industry with a professional testing tool to meet the new national standard and improve product quality. YANTE stated that it will continue to focus on innovation in paper testing technology and contribute to the high‑quality development of the industry.
