The essential test equipment for manufacturers of fluff pulp according to SCAN-C 33

28 may 2020

One of the most important properties of fluff pulp is its absorption capacity. Therefore, the determination of its specific volume and water absorption capacity is one of the most relevant tests for manufacturers and transformers of pulp that market this fluff pulp for diapers, feminine hygiene and medical industry, among others.

The SCAN-C 33 standard establishes these volume and absorption parameters. At IDM Test we have developed a test equipment that determines the specific volume and absorption of fluff type paper pulp..

The equipment consists of two main elements:

Sample preparation station: from which the test specimens will be obtained as detailed in the standard.
Testing unit: where the specimens previously obtained will be tested.

Below we show you in video how a specific volume and absorption capacity test of fluff pulp is performed with our testing machine:

The sample preparation station of this test equipment for manufacturers and transformers of fluff type pulp is made of stainless steel, includes 5 test tubes, is easy to handle and has a manometer for reading the suction pressure (14 Kpa - 0.14 bar according to the standard).

Learn about all the technical details of the sample preparation station here.

The test unit is also made of stainless steel, has a touch screen for ease of use, provides easy to read result tables, offers statistical control, includes a timer, etc.

You can find all the technical details of the test unit according to SCAN-C 33 here..
