AATCC KMS-M6 Washer, KMS-M6D Dryer

The AATCC KMS-M6 Washer and KMS-M6D Dryer are precision textile testing instruments designed to simulate industrial laundering and drying processes. They evaluate fabric durability, colorfastness, shrinkage, and fiber integrity under controlled conditions. Compliant with AATCC M6, ISO 105-C06, and ASTM D4685 standards, these machines provide reliable, repeatable results for R&D, quality control, education, and forensic textile analysis. Their stackable design, advanced controls, and real-time monitoring ensure efficient and accurate testing.

Application

Suitable for garment manufacturing, textile R&D, quality control labs, educational training, and forensic textile evaluation. Ideal for testing dyed fabrics, wrinkle-resistant textiles, and color-retaining materials. The washer-dryer system simulates real-world laundering conditions while preserving test accuracy and repeatability.

Standards

AATCC M6: Colorfastness to laundering
ISO 105-C06: Textile colorfastness to domestic and commercial laundering
ASTM D4685: Standard test method for washer-dryer textile testing
