Brought to you by Technidyne, our specialist optical, surface, and physical property testing brand, this Profile Plus device automatically measures the roughness of paper and board according to the Parker Print Surf method.
The Technidyne PROFILE/Plus® PPS gives you fast and accurate measurement of paper roughness according to industry standards. You can use our Profile Plus to measure both sides of the paper with its fully-automated measurement of top and/or bottom side PPS. It also includes a paper feed for automated profile testing.
Parker print surf roughness measures the surface roughness of printing papers under simulated printing press conditions.
A parker print surf device contains an internal gas flow restrictor whose pressure drop versus flow characteristics are closely controlled. To calculate air flow it compares the pressure drop across the measuring head and the paper test surface with that across the flow restrictor.
The PROFILE/Plus® PPS head design incorporates advanced and proprietary metal fabricating techniques.
Our high resolution sensor increases the accuracy of the air flow. This ensures more stable results and improves confidence levels, reducing the need for retests. Plus the electron beam welding means that the measuring heads are more robust and last longer.
The PROFILE/Plus® PPS incorporates a dummy head system that doesn’t require you to remove the measurement head. So flow verification is fast and easy.
The O-ring seal of the PROFILE/Plus® PPS eliminates the need for petroleum jelly. It reduces the need to clean as frequently, improving the overall performance.
The PROFILE/Plus® Roughness and Porosity supports all types of testing. Choose a device with top-side roughness only, with bottom-side roughness only – or with top and bottom side roughness in one instrument!
The ability to measure both sides of the sheet is a valuable time saver. It eliminates the need to feed the same sample through twice; fewer testing man-hours equals reduced costs!
The Profile Plus measures reliably and accurately between 0.6 and 6.0 microns. It’s been engineered for precise results that can be used to fine tune process variables in the production environment.
The PROFILE/Plus® PPS comes with both a soft and hard backing to address all your testing applications. This choice of backings means the same instrument can cover a wide range of applications.
The PROFILE/Plus® PPS is equipped with its own dry diaphragm compressor to ensure that the measurement air is always clean. This eliminates the risk of costly repairs due to contamination.
The Profile Plus also automatically removes foreign material from the measuring area to increase measurement reliability and improve accuracy.
PROFILE/Plus® is a unique building block approach to automated testing. Each PROFILE/Plus® instrument is a standalone instrument that can be easily placed in line with other PROFILE/Plus® instruments to operate as an automated test system.
The PROFILE/Plus® PPS meets or exceeds the requirements of many international standards, including:
In today’s world of strict standards and high demands, the data needed to assess whether a product meets customer specifications is essential. You can count on our industry-leading Profile Plus machines when the appearance of your paper products is important.
We make a wide range of paper testing devices and accessories. For example, check out the Emtec AFG CAS Touch! Particle Charge. It gives accurate and easy determination of particle charge in the wet end of paper/board production and in any aqueous charge system.
Or perhaps the TEST/Plus Thickness – ISO is what you need? It delivers precise thickness measurements in accordance with ISO 534 and TAPPI T551.
We like to share the lessons we’ve learnt over many decades of making paper testing machines and devices.
While you’re thinking about roughness of paper testing you may appreciate a couple of blogs we’ve written. There’s this one that compares two variables of common roughness/smoothness testers, or this article which explores how to test surface porosity with three techniques.
