HM5 P62600

wax 2.jpg (30797 bytes)

STANDARD PAPER TESTING WAX KIT
Designed to measure surface strength of paper 
For use by paper manufacturers, printers and lithographers. In this test, calibrated sealing waxes with increasing adhesive power are pulled from the surface of the specimens. The highest number of the wax in the series which does not disturb the surface of the paper is the numerical rating of the pick.

SCHMIDT ROLL HARDNESS TESTERS
The Schmidt Roll Hardness Testes determine the
hardness of large rolls of paper.
It provides fast, accurate, non-destructive hardness profiles of paper rolls to assure smooth and efficient printing.

HM50L/LR

frictionaft.jpg (28304 bytes)

ADVANCED FRICTION TESTER
Produces detailed fingerprints of new substrates, coatings and production samples. These surface friction characteristics can be saved and compared at any time allowing the manufacturer to specify the optimum surface finish for any packaging process. Surface slip is a key factor when printing, erecting or filling packaging materials on an automatic line.
The FM5AFT produces detailed force graphs that can be saved and compared. Increases packing speeds helping to reduce downtime and waste.

FM5AFT

STATIC FRICTION TESTER
Measures the static friction coefficient. Stops automatically when sample slides. Digital display of angle. Quick clamping of sample. The friction tester according to TAPPI determines the static and the dynamic friction coefficient of paper sheets. It consists of an inclinable platform, motor, gear and slip weight. The platform is provided with a quick clamp device.
