Twin Folding Tester for Paper and Board
Determines the folding resistance of paper, according to the Louis Schopper principle
Features
• Standard device designed for security papers • Automatic stop after sample break • Standard version for paper up to 0.25 mm thickness, alternatively available for board • Measurement and display of the folding head temperature optionally available Description The device measures the number of folds until the sample breaks. It is possible to test two samples simultaneously. Test description Two samples are clamped in the folding heads for a simultaneous test. The spring supported sample supports are pulled apart, so that the samples are clamped at the specified force. After pushing the start button, the folding knives begin to guide the sample around the sapphire supported folding rolls. That way, the samples are folded on both sides at a radius of 0.25 mm. If one sample breaks, the folding process of the second sample continues until it breaks too. The movements of the folding knives stop after the test, so that the samples can be removed. The device records and displays the number of folds until the sample breaks.
