58-05 Automatic Bekk Smoothness Tester
The Automatic Bekk Smoothness Tester is a microprocessor-controlled instrument for testing the smoothness of paper and board according to the Bekk Method.
Description
The BEKK Tester determines the smoothness of the sample in BEKK seconds. This instrument is especially suitable for very smooth surfaces. such as coated label papers or coated free sheets. It creates a vacuum and measures the time it takes for the vacuum to drop from 50.66 to 48.00 kPa. Alternatively, the time it takes for the pressure to drop from 50.66 – 29.33 kPa can be set. The instrument is supplied with a 1/1 vacuum chamber and a 1/10 chamber. Very smooth papers are tested at 1/10 of the volume to safe time.

OX-TRAN ® 2/48
The OX-TRAN 2/48 series is the ideal solution for ambient whole package testing for OTR, testing more packages in less time than traditional methods.
The OX-TRAN® 2/48 series of Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) analyzers are designed for ambient testing of complete packages or other 3-dimensional samples. These 8 cell instruments provide high throughput to increase the testing capacity of your laboratory. The 2-bank design allows 4 samples to be conditioned at the same time as the 4 samples are being examined. This parallel operation greatly increases the efficiency of the analyzer while still providing the accurate and repeatable results you expect from MOCON. They utilize the same interchangeable package testing cartridge designs as our other package testing analyzers and fixtures. These revolutionary cartridges offer simplified sample preparation and improved repeatability of test results. There is a wide variety of cartridge designs available to accommodate different package sizes and types, many without the use of epoxy.
