Automatic Sheet Former Rapid Kothen (SF-RK-SS)

The SF-RK-SS is used for the production of laboratory sheets in accordance with the Rapid Köthen method for the measurement of physical and/or optical properties of pulps. Automatic and compact it offers simplicity and comfort in its operation, requiring minimum space for its installation. The White Water Recirculation System is selectable, allowing users to operate in open-loop according to ISO 5269/2 and in closed-loop according to ISO 5269/3.

Description

The SF-RK-SS is used for the production of laboratory sheets in accordance with the Rapid Köthen method for the measurement of physical and/or optical properties of pulps. Automatic and compact it offers simplicity and comfort in its operation, requiring minimum space for its installation. The White Water Recirculation System is selectable, allowing users to operate in open-loop according to ISO 5269/2 and in closed-loop according to ISO 5269/3.

Produces large circular laboratory sheets: 315 cm2/Ø 200mm

Acrylic stock container with adjustable filling level: 10L

Stainless steel white water reservoir: 15L

Ergonomic controls with easy push button for sheet making – filling, mixing, sedimenting and draining stages all controlled by built-in PLC.

A pneumatic mixer, with an integrated pressure regulator, in the stock container base ensures perfect mixing of pulp suspension and homogeneity of sheets. White water Recirculation System enables sheet formation in accordance to ISO 5269/3 whereas sheets are formed using white water, simulating the close loop existing in real paper machines. At the convenience of a switch key on control panel the white water stored in an internal reservoir can be reused to produce more sheets, rather than being discharged as per ISO 5269/2 determination, which determines use of freshwater only. The reservoir is manufactured in stainless steel and has capacity of 15 L.

An elegant design and solid construction include a large polished stainless steel operating table, a welded steel structure, and resistant plastic cover panels. All parts in contact with water and pulp are made of corrosion-resistant materials.
