- DSS with Heat Shrinkage Module: Prediction of the converting properties of paper/board/foils concerning the dimension stability at thermal load up to 230°C
- DSS with Wet Stretch Module: Measurement of the dynamics of the change in dimension of paper by means of one-sided contact with water based liquids under adjustable tension
- Main applications:
- Decor paper, gypsum board, flatness of corrugated board, coating base paper, newsprint paper, offset printing paper,
label paper, ink jet paper, kraft liner etc in contact with:- water
- fountain solution
