Dynamic testing and measuring systems for fibre on show in South America

Accurate data regarding the cationic demand and zeta potential of fibres in the wet end of the papermaking process helps with its smoother running and achieving higher product quality, says Emtec Electronic GmbH. With this end in mind, the company has developed a pair of instruments – the CAS touch! Charge Analyzing System and the FPA touch! Fiber Potential Analyzer – to specifically measure both parameters.

Data gathered from the systems enable technicians to determine the correct dosage of chemicals to add to achieve desired product properties and reduce resource waste.

The compact and lightweight devices also make it easy to transport in a carry-on suitcase, which is helpful for technicians providing onthe-go measurements and troubleshooting.

Emtec Electronic demonstrated the instruments at the ExpoAcotepac conference and trade show held in February at Cali in Colombia.

Other instruments from Emtec Electronic include the EST, which is specifically designed to resolve issues with gluing, coating and printing that arise during conversion, and the TSA which is said to provide objective and reliable data on the haptic parameters softness, smoothness, and stiffness.
