Abrasion Resistance Tester AT1000

The AT1000 wear tester is designed for evaluating the wear properties of platelet-shaped fillers, pigments, and industrial materials. It provides standardized, quantitative information on material abrasiveness and equipment wear, widely used in paper industry, manufacturing, and quality control applications.

Application

(1) Filler and Pigment Evaluation: Measures the wear potential of platelet-shaped fillers and pigments.

(2) Industrial Equipment Wear Prediction: Evaluates potential wear on paper machine screens, cutting/stamping tools, roller conveyors, and blades.

(3) Material Quality Control: Ensures consistency in raw materials and additives in industrial production.

(4) Research & Development: Supports new material formulations by providing objective wear data.

(5) Process Optimization: Helps in predicting equipment lifetime and maintenance cycles.

Standards

(1) Zellcheming-Merkblatt V / 27.5/75 – Standard test method for abrasion of platelet-shaped fillers and pigments.

(2) ISO 13525:2011 – Plastics — Determination of wear resistance (related international standard).

(3) ASTM D4060 – Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by the Taber Abraser (for reference in industrial wear evaluation).

Product Advantages

(1) Specifically Designed for Filler/Pigment Abrasiveness: Provides standardized, recognized method for wear evaluation.

(2) Proven Functional Principle: Continuous use since 1970, refined for accuracy and reliability.

(3) Quantitative Measurement: Provides objective wear data (mass loss).

(4) Controlled Abrasion Process: High-speed rotary mill with specific mixing rod design ensures consistent turbulence and abrasion.

(5) User-Friendly Operation: Integrated touch screen for intuitive control and monitoring.

(6) Predictive of Equipment Wear: Data correlates to wear rates of industrial components.

(7) Flexible Speed Control: Rotary mill speeds of 1450 or 1800 RPM, with electronic selection of other speeds.

(8) Complete Starter Kit: Includes consumables such as 500 screens, 200 PVC rings, 25 stainless steel wear plates.

Product Features

(1) High-Speed Rotary Mill: Creates turbulent suspension of test material for abrasion.

(2) Mixing Rod Design: Narrower bottom prevents contamination of the upper deflector.

(3) Touch Screen Interface: Displays preset and actual revolutions (up to 999.990) and allows speed control.

(4) Preset Rotary Speeds: 1450 RPM or 1800 RPM, independent of main frequency (50–60 Hz).

(5) Material Quality: Manufactured using high-quality materials and processes.

(6) Special Tools: PVC ring installation tools included.

(7) Measuring Cups: 11 measuring cups included for preparing test suspensions.

(8) Starter Kit: 500 screens, 200 PVC rings, 25 stainless steel wear plates included.

Technical Parameters

Accessories

(1) Starter Test Package: 500 standard test sieves, 200 PVC rings, 25 wear plates

(2) Special Holder: For discs with PVC rings for kaolin suspension abrasion tests

(3) Standard Reference Pigment: For calibration and comparison

(4) 11 Measuring Cups: For preparing test suspensions

(5) PVC Ring Installation Tools: Facilitates assembly and test setup

Test Procedure

(1) Prepare the test suspension with filler/pigment and water in measuring cups.

(2) Install the sample disc using PVC rings in the special holder.

(3) Set the rotary mill speed via the touch screen and input the target number of revolutions.

(4) Start the test; the rotary mill creates turbulence in the suspension to abrade the sample disc.

(5) Monitor preset and actual revolutions on the touch screen.

(6) After test completion, measure mass loss or wear characteristics for data analysis.

(7) Replace consumables (sieves, rings, wear plates) as needed for subsequent tests.
