Wrap Reel
This is a professional winding device designed to provide the highest accuracy in yarn count determination and laboratory skein preparation processes.
It measures the tensile strength, elongation rate, and other important mechanical properties of the sample under tensile force applied.
It is a laboratory testing device used to measure the snagging resistance of fabrics. It represents the actual usage performance, especially in knitted/trimmed fabrics and delicate textured fabrics.
It is a standard physical testing device used to measure the tear resistance of textile fabrics.
This is a textile testing device used to measure the snagging resistance of fabrics. It is specifically designed to objectively determine how highly resistant to snagging the surface of heavy-duty fabrics, such as those used in durable clothing, upholstery, and automotive interior trim, are to sharp/point impacts.
This is a testing device used to measure the color fastness of dyed fabrics in textiles to burnt gas fumes. It specifically simulates the yellowing and fading effects caused by gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) found in urban atmospheres.
It is designed to perform accelerated light fastness tests on textile samples and operates in accordance with the BS 1006 standard. It determines the color fading resistance of dyed textiles under light.
This is a spray test device used to measure the water repellency performance of textile fabrics. It is particularly used to evaluate the performance of DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes applied to outerwear, sportswear, and technical fabrics.
This testing device is designed to measure the pull-off resistance of snaps, buttons, and accessories used in clothing. It is a critical safety test, especially for children's clothing and baby products.
This is a standard testing device used to measure color fastness to perspiration in textile products. It is used to determine the color change and dye transfer tendency of the fabric when exposed to human sweat (in acidic and alkaline environments).
This is laboratory equipment used for evaluating the color tone, irregularity, and quality of yarns. It is specifically designed for visual analysis in yarn dyeing and color comparison processes.
This is a laboratory testing device used to measure the amount of twist (twists per meter / TPI – TPM) and the direction of twist (S or Z twist) in yarns. It is a critical parameter in terms of yarn quality and fabric performance.
This is a laboratory device designed to test the tensile strength, opening and closing durability, and connection strength of zippers used in textile and garment products.
It enables the rapid, precise, and repeatable preparation of circular fabric samples of varying diameters and areas. Accurate sample preparation is critical in weight measurement, physical testing, and quality control processes; Roaches cutting systems guarantee this accuracy.
This is a compact and reliable system designed for the rapid and effective removal of excess water from textile samples. It shortens drying times by ensuring controlled reduction of moisture content after washing and finishing processes.
This unit, especially recommended for use with the Durawash washing system, supports process continuity and accurately simulates production conditions in a laboratory environment.
It offers a wide range of products to suit the different application needs of laboratories. It provides reliable and stable temperature control in sensitive areas such as research, medical, pharmaceutical, food analysis and chemical studies.
