Chemicals
- The paper industry of the 21st century rely on low-cost market pulps and chemical additives for running huge paper machines, up to ten meters wide and up to 2.000 m/min speeds, achieving unprecedent high production volumes at minimal production costs.
- The constant need for both economic and environmental improvement drive the constant research and development of advanced chemical additives required to improve the performance of the paper machine and of any kind papers such as cardboard, sack, tissue, wrapping as well liner & medium kraft papers for the production of corrugated.
Products for this application : Retention Tester
- The FRET is a classical laboratory handsheet former with the exceptional capacity of measuring the drainage speed of the pulp slurry through the sheet forming wire gauze .
- Such uniqueness makes the FRET a powerful and robust tool for R&D and for Q.C. of chemical additives, pulps, refining and wires.
Key Features & Highlights
- Standard handsheet – FRET produces a circular handsheet with a diameter of 20 cm, useful for preparing test pieces for further typical physical tests for paper like tensile, tear, burst, air permeance, grammage, thickness, etc…
- Automatic Operation – FRET is operated through a user-friendly software running on a touchscreen panel, allowing manual and fully automated operation
- Automatic Dosing – FRET may control up to three automated injectors for controlled addition of chemicals into the pulp slurry
- Rugged – FRET is built to last for decades, requiring minimal maintenance
In Summary
The FRET, which embodies 30 years of expertise, enables the advanced simulation of paper production in laboratory scale, a strategic feature for the R&D and Q.C. of fibers, additives and critical production processes such as refining, enabling dynamic integration in the development, understanding and optimization of fibrous materials and paper production.
