The emtec ACA Ash Content Analyzer Provides Valuable Information about Total Mineral Filler Content and Percentage Content of Individual Filler Components in Paper and Board

摘要

With the Ash Content Analyzer (ACA), emtec Electronic aims to overcome the disadvantages of the traditional combustion method. The innovative lab instrument replaces combustion with x-ray technology, enabling the non-destructive measurement of individual mineral fillers in paper and board, such as Calcium Carbonate, Kaolin/ Talcum, Titanium Dioxide or Barium White shown as combined or separate results. Time consuming test procedures are no longer necessary and the data are available for process optimization in less than one minute. "Independent of the user or the state of the sample, the instrument always measures the correct amount of the used fillers and fines," says Giselher Gruner, General Manager of emtec Electronic GmbH. In comparison to the combustion, the results depend less on the moisture of the sample and the results are available within seconds, which allows an intermediate intervention in the process in case of issues. Besides this, the new method is much more accurate and reliable - the margin of error is less than one percent. In addition to its simple handling, the ACA device is easy to transport, needs less space in the laboratory and is quickly installed.
