Core Features of Shrinkage Tester of Fabric
The fabric shrinkage tester integrates reliable structural design and intelligent control system, with the following key features:
Equipped with MCU program controller, built-in ten sets of washing programs required by ISO, and supports operator self-programming function.
The wascator washing test machine does not need to be fixed to the ground with foot screws, and can keep stable during operation.
Adopts soft link between rotating cage and rack, which brings low vibration and low noise during working.
Configured with variable frequency motor, realizes smooth switching between high speed and low speed, and the motor has low temperature increment.
Equipped with blue fluorescence LCD display, the test state is shown by dynamic icons, which is easy to observe and convenient to operate.
Applications of Fabric Wascator Automatic Shrinkage Tester
This fabric shrinkage testing machine is widely used in textile testing and quality control, with main applications as follows:
• Assess shrinkage of knitted and woven fabrics in accordance with international test methods
• Evaluate fabric stability after washing
• Test color fastness of fabrics to washing
• Verify the durability of fabric finish
• Detect fabric spirality caused by washing
• Assess fabric pilling performance during washing
Common Problems (And Solutions) in Testing Process
Some common problems may occur during the use of the tester, and corresponding solutions are as follows:
Program setting failure: May be caused by incorrect operation, solution is to recheck the program selection and restore the default standard program.
Water level deviation: Caused by abnormal capacitance water level meter, solution is to inspect and calibrate the non-touch water level meter.
Abnormal display on LCD: May be due to poor contact of the control panel, solution is to check the circuit connection and restart the tester.
Conclusion
Shrinkage Tester of Fabric is a necessary equipment for textile laboratories and manufacturers to carry out fabric washing performance tests. With standardized design, stable performance and convenient operation, it can effectively complete shrinkage test and multiple property evaluation of knitted and woven fabrics.
