The completely new Tensio+, the best way to measure fabric tension!
On the SPCI 2008 exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden, Feltest Equipment BV introduced the first prototype of the completely new Tensio+. This electronic tensometer has been desinged exclusively for use in the paper industry, to measure the tension in running forming fabrics, press felts and dryer screens. To meet the special requirements in the paper industry, the Tensio+ is very accurate, robust, waterproof and reliable!
Compared to traditional tensometers, the Tensio+ has the following advantages:
- no moving parts: no contamination and much higher accuracy;
- better repeatability, also at low tension positions and independend from the person measuring;
- the possibility to make tension profiles and export the data to a spreadsheet;
- different read-out units available, like N/mm, kg/cm or pli.
The Feltest Tensio+ is still under development. Starting February 2009 the semi-definitive version will be tested under real-life circumstances in the European paper industry. The expected date of supply is April / May 2009. The preliminary specifications can be found in the brochure.
