Exploring Common Handling Problems With Sample Paper Cutters

  Paper Cutters play a significant role in the paper testing process. These sample cutters allow the manufacturers to extract a sample from the paper bundle or the sample sheet. These extracted samples are further put for testing and the paper characteristics are identified.  Depending on your requirements, you can get either a square paper cutter or a sample strip cutter . But, irrespective of the sample cutter you are investing in, you need to be aware of key handling approaches. Such approaches are significantly important to retain the durability & efficiency of these sample cutters.  So let’s focus on these key handling problems.  Blade Getting Stuck During Sample Cutting  A common handling issue that users encounter is getting the blade stuck during the sample extraction process. Such is majorly due to the poor cleaning or maintenance of the cutter. Hence, it is recommended that you should clean paper waste after every operation. Such can help you ...

How Can A Quadrant Scale Help Paper/Packaging Manufacturers?

  The calculation of GSM or grammage per square is significant when it comes to measuring the basis weight of a paper or packaging material. To do this, manufacturers either make use of a competent GSM tester or a high-quality quadrant paper scale . Both instruments are crucial for the successful determination of GSM, however, in this blog, we will throw light on the capacities of a quadrant scale. So, let’s go. What is a Quadrant Paper Scale? As the name suggests, a quadrant scale is an instrument that measures the Basis weight of paper, board, or similar materials. The test unit accepts a small test sample to perform the test, prepared using a square paper cutter. On this sample cutter, each specimen is prepared in a given dimension, i.e., 10x10 cm or 20x25 cm.  Once the sample is prepared, it is brought to the scales, which are calibrated to high-accuracy dead weights. The unit maintains this accuracy until the pendulum comes to its original form.  What Factors Mainta...

Exploring The Role Of Sample Cutter & Paper Testing Equipment

  Paper manufacturing is a process that requires the utmost precision and attention to detail throughout the process. Such precision or attention to detail is required so that you can achieve the set quality standards. But simply mentioning the term quality or relying on the manufacturing equipment is not enough.  There must be certain approaches through which you can check or justify the quality. Hence, it is where the paper testing equipment comes into play. An efficient or quality paper manufacturing unit can easily be customised to get the set quality levels. But to decide whether the outcome is as per the set expectations, you need testing equipment such as a tensile strength tester . Testers Indicate Paper Quality: Using a quality tester can allow you to test the sample paper based on several key characteristics. Such characteristics can be the vertical strength of the paper which is measured through tensile strength tester . Also, the absorbency of the paper can be meas...
