Fluff Tester - Patra Type

FLT-5002

The tester enables fluff to be measured easily after simulating the action of printing press using a dry blanket. It is based on the concept of PIRA. The tester is capable of giving reproducible results and the fluff build-up proceeds at a steady rate with a number of sheets with Motorized feeding arrangement with preset counter for reproducible results.

 

A sample is placed between the blanket and steel roll and sample is moved between the roles under nip pressure. After selected number of sheets have been passed the fluff is transferred to blanket cylinders and a linen counter moved at the top of the machine to count the numbers of particles & fibres adhering to a given area of blanket.

Sheets are pressed into the nip between rubber blanket and printing plates cylinder.
