Osthoff hairiness tester -the unerring eye of the singeing machine

Osthoff-Senge’s hairiness tester is a device which automatically recognizes the hairiness or pile height of textile materials, displays them on a screen, compares set points and actual values and adjusts the intensity of the surface processing by means of these data until the rest hairiness corresponds to the pre-set standard.

By using the hairiness tester in this way, the singeing process can be defined exactly. The process can thereby be controlled independently of the subjective assessment of the operator ensuring that it corresponds to the desired singeing effect.

Further to this, Osthoff-Senge also offers a hairiness tester to check samples. This device works on the same principle as the one described above, but instead of examining running fabric it only examines a sample piece, which is mounted in the instrument.

According to Mr.  Joerg Schlageter, there are numerous advantages of using Osthoff-Senge hairiness tester. For example, it ensures that whole batch has same hairiness value and in future, similar articles will be singed with the same parameters, thus offering repeatability. Another advantage is the savings in gas consumption. The gas consumption is only as high as necessary, that is if the desired hairiness is achieved with a lower intensity of the flame, the settings are adjusted accordingly.

Further details can be obtained from the local representative Nazer and Company in Pakistan. The visitors to ITMA-ASIA & CITME are also encouraged to see range of machines and service by Osthoff Senge at Hall, Booth.
