M/K offers formation testers that can run both transmission and reflection analysis. M/K quantifies the formation into a simple reliable number called M/K Index. This widely recognized industry standard ranks your paper from 1-100, with 100 being perfect formation.
Transmission Formation Analysis
Run a precise tranmsission formation and floc analysis to get the best optical analysis available. These instruments offer better resolution than other optical analyzers. The heart of M/K's technology is in the method of pixel-by-pixel testing employing a laser-type method stepping technique. Unlike competitors, M/K data is gives you the same transmission data whether you flip your sample over, due to the nature of the pixel-by-pixel test. Only MK drum testers can offer the 1-100% pure transmission data. Basis weight ranges covered range from tissues to heavy cardboards.
Reflection Formation analysis
The M/K 3-D Sheet Analyzer (model MK975R) gives the user floc and formation data, internal density variations, as well as surface roughness. Surface roughness is obtained using a reflection module that can be purchased as an option. This option gives the user formation of each side of the sheet. Run a transmission formation analysis to get the cumulative data, then determine formation and floc of each side of the paper using the relection option (drum models only). The MK Surface Roughness index correlates with Parker Print Surface, published in Paper Age. This article is available upon request.
Floc analysis and light weight analysis
M/K formation analyzers give you floc analysis as well as formation. The machines give your distribution of your flocs, size of flocs, and offers insight into the impact on formation. Floc and light weight analysis compliment formation and give you the best understanding of your product.
The most reliable Formation Analysis
These instruments offer better resolution than other optical analyzers. While our camera system is good for heavier grades of paper, our laser-stepping analyzers look at each pixel of your paper individually, resulting in a high quality and reliable measurement. More precise than a camera formation analysis - which is limited due to curved lenses and light bouncing - M/K transmission data is gives you the same transmission data whether you flip your sample or bend it with creases.
Online formation testing
M/K offers online and portable formation testers that compliment our bench top models. These can be used on the wet of your product line.
M/K Sheet Splitter
Split your sample into multiple layers and run formation on each layer to get an excellent understanding of your product.
