Standard International Group (HK) Limited

The Cold Fold Tester is easy to operate. After setting the automatic counter, the instrument starts to work with the Chrysler standard sample. The Tester is designed for the control box to be outside the cold chamber while the test stand is placed inside the cold chamber, using the supplied cable to connect the two sections. The motor is designed to operate at the expected cold environment with no loss of performance.

The machine may be used to predict the adhesive failure and cracking of footwear in wear. It is particularly useful in assessing problems associated with the sole structure.

Footwear is clamped to the machine at the toe end by using the appropriate toe clamp from one of five pairs supplied. The heel end is secured to the flexing bar. A predetermining counter is fitted and once the appropriate number of flexes has been registered, the machine will stop so that the shoe can be inspected.
