    • Eigenschaft: paper
    • Eigenschaft: board
    • Eigenschaft: plastic film
  • Vorteile:
    • Vorteil: non- destructive measurement without combustion
    • Vorteil: quantitative determination of individual fillers
    • Vorteil: availability of the results within seconds (approx. 60 sec.)
    • Vorteil: high accuracy of measurements
    • Vorteil: easy handling (self-explanatory operation)
    • Vorteil: results independent of operator
    • Vorteil: easy portable (in a trolley)
    • Vorteil: savings in time and energy (compared to combustion)
    • Vorteil: optimal process control due to instant availability of measuring results
    • Vorteil: efficient calibration of online ash sensors (especially in case of frequent grade changes)
  • Produktbeschreibung:

    With the combustion method according to ISO 2144, DIN 54370, TAPPI T 413 and 211, which is traditionally applied in the paper industry, the total content and a few selected individual fillers can only be determined through an extremely time- and energy-consuming and in routine operation relatively inaccurate combustion of the samples at different temperatures (+/- 5%, operator dependent!). The combustion method is also disadvantageous due to its destructive measuring procedure.

    By the use of the emtec ACA Ash Content Analyzer with its new and innovative measuring principle the total ash content (fillers and pigments), but also the percentage content of the typical fillers in the paper industry can be determined within seconds without combustion of the samples, i.e., non-destructive.

    The quick measuring procedure leads to an almost instant availability of measuring results and therefore allows for an indeed immediate reaction to changes in the process:

    • Immense material savings can be achieved through the reduction of process fluctuations
    • The consumption of fillers can be reduced, as the immediate availability of results and the high accuracy of the ACA enables the narrowing down of the specifications for the filler content in the finished product, resulting in a much more efficiently organized process optimization (e.g. retention optimization)
    • Costs for energy of the combustion process can be saved. Thus, the use of the new measuring device guarantees a fast "return on investment" by a substantial reduction of costs in material, time, and energy

  • Untersuchung von:
    • Eigenschaft: paper
    • Eigenschaft: board
  • Vorteile:
    • Vorteil: measurement of the converting-relevant parameters surface sizing/surface hydrophobia and surface porosity
    • Vorteil: measured parameters help to optimize the converting process and the product quality, for example by adapting the converting process to the quality of the incoming paper or board
    • Vorteil: reliable and accurate test results, which help to solve issues in the converting process and with the product quality, where standard test devices are no help
    • Vorteil: Stand-alone device (connection to a PC and use with emtec PC software possible)
    • Vorteil: small and easy to transport, especially good for chemical suppliers
  • Produktbeschreibung:

    To make sure that the necessary product quality can be reached, specifications are agreed between paper maker and converter. These specifications are bases on standard test devices, such as Cobb or Gurley. But often it happens that although the quality of the base paper or board is within the agreed specifications, issues with the gluability, printability or coating-ability occur during the converting.

    Since gluability, printability and coating-ability mainly depend on surface sizing and surface porosity, information about these two parameters are very important. But the standard test devices are not able to measure them. In comparison to this, the emtec EST is able to measure these two very important surface parameters within the time that is relevant for the converting process and by this helps to ensure a well-running converting process and the right product quality.

    The PDA.C 02 - Module MSC Standard Coating helps to detect changes in base papers, coating colors, and coated papers, which are not detected by standard test devices, but which can lead issues with the coating-ability during the converting process.

    The contact between coating color and base coating paper happens under high shear and pressure pulse, leading to a good simulation of the coating machine applicator.

    Pilot coater and machine trials indicate the effects of coating color and base paper variations. The PDA.C 02 provides a tool to explore the causes.

  • Untersuchung von:
    • Eigenschaft: paper
    • Eigenschaft: board
  • Vorteile:
    • Vorteil: measurement of the converting-relevant parameters surface sizing/surface hydrophobia and surface porosity
    • Vorteil: easy to handle
    • Vorteil: measured parameters help to optimize the converting process and the product quality, for example by adapting the converting process to the quality of the incoming paper or board
    • Vorteil: modular system (e.g., Module HVL for tests with high viscous liquids or the Module Standard Coating for tests with coating color)
    • Vorteil: reliable and accurate test results, which help to solve issues in the converting process and with the product quality, where standard test devices are no help
  • Produktbeschreibung:

    To make sure that the necessary product quality can be reached, specifications are agreed between paper maker and converter. These specifications are bases on standard test devices, such as Cobb or Gurley. But often it happens that although the quality of the base paper or board is within the agreed specifications, issues with the gluability, printability or coating-ability occur during the converting.

    Since gluability, printability and coating-ability mainly depend on surface sizing and surface porosity, information about these two parameters are very important. But the standard test devices are not able to measure them. In comparison to this, the emtec PDA is able to measure these two very important surface parameters within the time that is relevant for the converting process and by this helps to ensure a well-running converting process and the right product quality.

during gluing, printing and coating processes Publication in "Coating International" - Issue 06-2015 on pages 23-28 1. Basics about specifications of paper and board Paper and board is generally further converted, i.e. glued, printed or coated, in order to assure the required final quality of the finished product. For an optimal runability during finishing or converting processes, certain specifications between producer and customer are agreed upon. Usually, these specifications are based on standard measurement methods like Cobb test, Hercules Sizing Test HST, Bendtsen/Gurley porosimeter,...
