Low Temperature Bally & ROSS Resistance Flexing Tester | Footwear Testing Machine Suppliers

• Materials of outer chamber: 2mm Double-sided color coated steel with power coated surface.
• Materials of inner chamber: using SUS304 stainless steel, seamless welded. Beside, the outer structure of the inner chamber is reinforced with 10mm steel plates to meet the structural strength requirements of the bending test.
• With vacuum glass observation window, more effective to observe the testing situation.
• Temperature control: adopt 7inch color touch screen with Chinese and English version, easy to operate.
• Low Temperature Bally & ROSS Resistance Flexing Tester Equipped with 2 sets of mechanical compressor, two-stage compression refrigeration cycle can quick cooling up to specified inner temperature in the case of various fixture groups.
• The flexing system has separate controller with function of power off memory and automatical stop when test done.
• All the testing fixtures are made of SUS304 stainless steel or aluminum, have a good corrosion resistance and anti-rust property.

Q1: What is the main advantage of choosing a combined Bally & ROSS flexing tester over two separate testing machines?

A: The primary benefit of the GT-KB05C is maximum efficiency in both cost and laboratory space. Standard footwear quality testing requires evaluating both upper materials (using the Bally 22.5° flexing method) and outsoles (using the ROSS 90° bending method) under low temperatures. Instead of purchasing two standalone cold chambers, the GT-KB05C integrates both mechanical mechanisms into a single -40°C temperature chamber, saving up to 50% of laboratory floor space and reducing capital expenditure while delivering full compliance with both upper and sole standards.

Q2: Can the Bally flexing mechanism and ROSS flexing mechanism operate independently inside the chamber?

A: Yes. The GT-KB05C is engineered with dual independent drive control systems and separate multi-digit programmable counters. Lab technicians can run the 10-station Bally upper leather test and the 5-station ROSS sole test simultaneously or completely independently. Each system features auto-stop functionality upon completing preset cycles and power-off memory protection.

Q3: How do I choose between GT-KB05C and other ROSS / Cold Flexing models in the GESTER product line?

A: Selection depends on your target testing components, specimen format, and temperature requirements:

1. Choose GT-KB05C (2-in-1 Combo): If you need to test BOTH upper leather (Bally method) AND cut sole specimen strips (ROSS method) under freezing conditions (-40°C) in a single compact footprint.
2. Choose [GT-KB05B Cold ROSS Tester]: If your lab ONLY tests cut sole specimen strips (152X25mm ) under sub-zero temperatures.
3. Choose [GT-KB05E Cold Whole Sole Tester]: If you need to test complete, uncut whole outsoles under sub-zero temperatures.
4. Choose [GT-KB05A Ambient ROSS Tester] or [GT-KB05D Ambient Whole Sole Tester]: If you only require standard room-temperature testing (~23°C).
