• Intrinsically safe – no electrics, all pneumatic operation
• Minimized operator contact with and exposure to Solvent
• ASTM Designation D7835
The MEK Rub Test machine has been developed to combat the problem of inconsistent test results between operators.
This semi-automated machine gives the line operator and quality control personnel the ability to duplicate results from the laboratory to the production line every time. The front panel mounted controls make it simple for the user to program the required number strokes to run for a specified test, then simply lower the head, close the cover, and press the start button, and the machine will do the rest. This frees the operator to perform other QC tests while the machine performs the rub test consistently and reliably, with the added benefit of greatly reducing operator contact with and exposure to the solvents being used for the rub test procedure. Once the cycle counter reaches the preset number of strokes, the unit will shut off the solvent flow and return to the start position ending the test. The operator can return at any time to check the results of the Rub Test. The quick-change solvent pad system means preparing for the next test procedure is quick and efficient.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
- Optional Dual Reservoir
The dual reservoir is an option for having two independent solvents loaded and ready to be used.
- Variable Stroke Kit
This add-on kit allows for the use of panels of nonstandard sizes. Panels ranging in length from 85mm (3.5”) to 305mm (12”)
- Variable Weight Head
The variable weight head allows you to change the mass of the head from 1000g to 3000g in 50g increments, thus allowing for testing to either the ASTM or EU standards without having to change the head block.
