Green projects
Your innovations in eco-responsible, recyclable or reusable packaging can lead to new control or measurement requirements.
ACRN supports you in its areas of expertise : equipment development, customization, testing… Discover the projects we’ve carried out since 2018 in collaboration with our clients, marked with an icon.
Here are a few examples of customer challenges
Leak tester for soap refills
Cosmetic industry
For an original shaped soap refill, the ATS tube seal tester has been adapted to allow testing of this pouch.
Leak test for electronic device enclosures
Consumer electronics
The customer was looking for an inexpensive device to test the watertightness of a plastic enclosure intended for submersion in seawater. ACRN has designed an immersion and pressure drop test that involves raising and lowering the housing to prevent water from entering and damaging the internal components.
Torque measurement under industrial screwdriver
Perfume packaging
To ensure that the settings on its perfume bottle screwdrivers were correct, regardless of the products being packaged, our client needed portable dummy torque sensors to use during the production line’s ramp-up phase.
Breaking torque of recyclable wooden spoons
Food manufacturer
In order to replace the plastic spoons with wood, this manufacturer had to ensure the strength and breaking torque of the spoons. We developed the test protocol and provided them with a testing facility so they could verify the durability of their product.
Adaptation of a tube tester for recyclable tubes
Cosmetic industry
With the introduction of recyclable materials for cream and shampoo tubes, we have developed a type of press that minimizes marks on the tubes during testing. Compliant tubes are no longer discarded.
Cargo bay depressurization simulation chamber
Aerospace industry
To simulate helicopter takeoffs and landings, we built a large wind tunnel with a controlled airflow to test the durability of electronic enclosures.

Customer Example
Lipstick mechanism selection
Make-up manufacturer
To select a lipstick mechanism from among several suppliers, ACRN conducted tests. The test consisted of operating the mechanisms several hundred times to select the one that had the best opening and closing torque over time. ACRN conducted fatigue tests and graphical analyses to provide concrete data to aid in selecting the mechanism.
