EST 12 - Surface and Sizing Tester

QUICK TESTER FOR SIMPLE, EFFICIENT AND ACCURATE SURFACE TESTING OF PAPER AND BOARD FOR: Surface sizing/internal sizing Surface porosity Coating quality / binder filming FOR PREDICTION OF CONVERTING PROPERTIES: Printability Glueability Coating base paper quality ADVANTAGES: Easy handling Automatic calculation of parameters Portable Partly substitution of Cobb-Tester Useable with a PC

MAIN USER:

• Paper/ board producer
• chemical suppliers
• Paper/ board converter

MEASURING RESULTS:

• Intensity-time-diagram (with PC)
• Automatic calculated values

OPERATION:

• comparable to PDA.C 02 Module Standard

FIELD OF APPLICATION:

• Quality testing for internal- and surface-sized, coated
  respectively uncoated paper and board
• Grammages up to 600 g/m2

MEASURING RESULT:
