Elastometer 09X

Wrapping of elastic yarn skeins for yarn count determination, for tensile strength test, elongation analyses, LEA test and other evaluations.

ASTM D-2256

Overview:

REQUEST A QUOTE

Branca 09X Elastometer packages LEA of elasticized yarns, Spandex, Elastane, stretch, textured, and twisted yarns (LEA) for subsequent yarn title research and/or laboratory tests such as LEA test and/or CRE test.

The instrument is specially designed for yarns with these elastic features.

This machine winds yarn into a standard length LEA, typically 120 yards (approximately 110 meters), in an even manner. Using universal tesing machines and precision scales, tensile strength tests, breaking force determination, and yarn count are performed.

The device is ideal for yarns as below:

  • Lycra yarns
  • Elastane yarns
  • Spandex yarns
  • Elastic nylon yarns
  • Polyamide yarns
  • Polyester
  • Lyocell fibers yarns
  • Bamboo stretch
  • Polyurethane yarns (PU)
  • Microfibers yarns
  • Elastomultiester yarns (EME)
  • Others

Elastometer 09X wraps LEA packages for LEA test, which can be conducted using a dynamometer to assess tensile strength.

The Elastometer 09X features an ultra-silent brushless motor with moderate acceleration and decelerated stop, allowing for precise length measurement of the elastic yarn skein.

Revolutions count is read from a digital counter (0-9999) that increments every 200 mm, corresponding to the peripheral development around the winding spool's circumference.

Before each start, the operator can set the number of winding revolutions of the skein from the digital counter up to a maximum of 9999 revolutions.

The maximum rotation speed is 40 rpm and can be controlled by adjusting the external potentiometer.
Emergency button and Plexiglas safety guard to protect the operator from moving parts.
