Fabric ici pilling and snagging box

About Fabric ici pilling and snagging box

The Fabric Pilling and Snagging Tester is used for rolling friction pilling tests on loosely woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and other fabrics prone to pilling, to evaluate their pilling and snagging resistance under non-pressure conditions.

Applications

A universal pilling and snagging tester drives system to rapidly repeat pilling or snagging on fabrics to generate normal wear on samples in a fraction of the time.

Provided with unique controller allowing selection between standard and several optional speed settings.

Programmable reversing function at 30 rpm and test cycle definition facilities.

Standards

ISO 12945-1:2021 Textiles Determination of pilling and fuzzing (ICI box method)

BS 5811:1979+A1:1991 British Standard for Pilling of Textiles

GB/T 4802.3-2008: Chinese National Standard for Pilling Test of Textile Fabrics

JIS L1076:2019: Japanese Standard for Pilling of Textiles

Features

Multi-station configuration: Equipped with 4 pilling boxes, allowing simultaneous testing of multiple samples to improve efficiency;

Flexible operation: Supports forward and reverse rotation, better simulating actual fabric friction scenarios;

Adjustable parameters: Rotational speed covers multiple gears from 20 to 70 rpm, adapting to different testing standards;

Intelligent display and alerts: LCD screen displays parameters in real time, and an alarm sounds automatically upon test completion;

Reliable design: The pilling boxes are well-sealed (ensuring testing stability), and the motor has an automatic pause protection function;

Multi-standard compatibility: Compatible with mainstream pilling test standards such as ISO/BS/GB/JIS, suitable for testing various textiles.

Technical Parameters

Test Procedures

First, prepare the accessories and test samples;

Secure the test sample in the PU sample holder;

Place the sample holder containing the test sample into the test chamber;

Turn on the instrument's power switch and access the operating interface;

Set parameters such as rotation speed and number of cycles;

Press the "Start" button, and the test chamber will rotate at a certain speed;

The test will automatically stop when the set number of cycles is reached;

Open the test chamber lid and remove the sample;

After the test is complete, turn off the instrument;

After the experiment, remove the sample for analysis and comparison to evaluate the material's resistance to pilling, snagging, and abrasion.
