Digital Scuff Tester (rub Proofness Tester)

Details:

Compliance Standards

BS 3110

Applications:

Scuff tester is intended to evaluate the Rub Proof-ness of prints on paper or board. It can also be used to measure / evaluate Colour Transfer from printed / coated surface during rubbing. The application can be extended for measurement of abrasion resistance of some Plastic materials / Aluminum Foils.

Operating Principle:

In this machine, 2 samples of the same substrate are rubbed against each other in the same plane, under a constant pressure of 2 PSI and at a fixed speed of 60 RPM. The number of rubs are recorded using a non-contact type digital counter.

Salient Features:

• Works as a great comparative of the variations in print quality between various batches or various suppliers
• Higher Rub Resistance = better print quality.
• Lower Rub Resistance = Poor print quality.
• The highest degree of parallelism of disc samples
• Accurate R.P.M. of rotating disks assured by High torque Step Synchronous motors
• Very Low power consumption (Less than 100w).
• No Gearbox. Hence, No Maintenance.
• Compact but Sturdy Design.
• Latest benchtop model with push button controls
• Noise‑free scuff blower
• Non‑contact type digital counter
• Digital display of rubs
• Auto ‑ stop facility at user ‑ defined counts
• Standard rubbing weight = 2 psi
• Power supply : 230 volts AC at 50 Hz (Fluctuation free power required)

Supplied with following accessories:

• Sample Marking Templates (2 Inch and 4½ Inch Sample)
• Glue Stick or similar quick drying adhesive

Note :

Round sample cutter for 50 and 110mm dia specimen (for easy cutting of samples) available at extra cost
