Significance Of Using Environmental Testing Equipment In Paper Industry

Manufacturers use several testing methods and machines to evaluate the various parameters and properties of pulp, paper, and board. Similarly, they use environmental testing equipment to evaluate how the paper will react in different environmental conditions. Knowing the paper’s behavior is crucial as it goes through a lot of different conditions during its life span. Hence, manufacturers must know if they will be able to adjust to or combat them in the best manner. 

From instruments testing the humidity to those evaluating the behavior in extreme hot and cold temperatures, high and low speeds, and more, there are many environmental testing equipment that paper/board manufacturers use. UEC is among the largest supplier of the most sought environmental testing machines. Let us see what they have to offer.

7 Most Sought Environmental Testing Machines By UEC

1. Lab Oven

The laboratory oven determines the percentage of moisture content in the paper, pulp, board, and other materials.   

2. Muffle Furnace

The muffle furnace is designed to determine the ash content present in the paper, and also the incineration of the solid content.

3. Environmental Chamber

This testing machine conditions the paper, board, and other materials alike under specific laboratory conditions. The operator sets the required temperature and humidity levels to perform the test.

4. Bod Incubator

As the name suggests, the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) incubator is designed to incubate the BOD specimen of polluted or waste waters, partially treated sewage waters, etc. 

5. Digital pH Meter

The digital pH meter is used to determine the pH value of the pulp and other watery solutions under specific laboratory conditions. The pH value is measured with help of an Electrode in terms of specific electrical conductance.

6. Ash Incinerator

The ash incinerator also measures the ash content in the paper, board, and other cellulose-based materials. It burns an accurately-weighed quantity of paper and then measures the weight percent of the remaining ash.

7. Digital Moisture Meter

The moisture meter is an electrical resistance type of equipment that measures the relationship between both of them. The moisture content of the paper, board, corrugated board, and paper tubes can be measured using this instrument.
