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 desktop model with push button controls
