Labthink has launched a new C180M paper permeability tester, specifically designed for testing the permeability of cigarette paper, filter forming paper, filter attachment paper, and materials with directional breathable bands. The device is designed with the core concept of "efficiency and intelligence", integrating multiple professional functions to fully meet the latest standards of the tobacco industry, such as ISO 2965, YC/T 172, GB/T 12655, JJG (Tobacco) -1998, etc., providing accurate and reliable quality control solutions for the tobacco and related industries.

Accurate compliance

According to the standard YC/T 172-2022 "Determination of Air Permeability of Cigarette Paper, Forming Paper, Adhesive Paper, and Materials with Directional Breathable Belts", the air permeability test requires placing the sample in a gripper, applying a pressure difference of 1.0kPa on both sides of the tested sample, and passing the measurement by 1cm²The air flow rate on the surface of the tested sample (cm)³/min）。

The C180M paper air permeability tester is developed and designed strictly according to this standard, equipped with an imported pressure regulation module with a pressure range covering 0-2kPa. It has high regulation accuracy and strong stability, ensuring stable pressure conditions during the testing process and fundamentally guaranteeing the accuracy of measurement results. Its testing area is 2cm²(2 cm x 1 cm), accurately matching the requirements of the measurement area in the standard, making the test results more comparable and authoritative (separated). After the test is completed, the instrument provides air permeability and coefficient of variation, and supports dedicated units CU [cm³/(min·cm²）]Compared to mL/min, it not only conforms to industry standards but also provides users with a convenient way to read and compare data.

Automation drives efficiency innovation

C180M, with "efficiency" as its core value, integrates fully automatic measurement throughout the entire process from sample injection to data output, achieving a leapfrog upgrade in detection efficiency - the single point measurement time for samples of the same specification is less than 10 seconds, which greatly reduces the detection time for a single sample and significantly improves the testing flux.

In the sample clamping process, the equipment adopts pneumatic clamping method, which not only saves time and effort, but also maintains the consistency of clamping force, avoiding the potential error hazards caused by manual clamping. The automatic sampling function further optimizes the operation process, and technicians can freely set the measurement frequency and spacing to meet the requirements of "10 consecutive measurements with a minimum spacing of 20mm" in YC/T 172-2022 standard. For special sample testing or scenarios that require manual intervention, the system supports flexible switching to manual mode to adapt to different detection needs.

After the test is completed, the system automatically calculates the data results, including key parameters such as maximum value, minimum value, average value, standard deviation, etc., and directly prints the test report through the built-in micro printer, saving the repetitive labor of manual data processing.

Convenient operation optimizes user experience‌

Unlike traditional horizontal breathers, the C180M paper permeability tester adopts an innovative vertical structure design, which not only facilitates the loading, unloading, and sorting of samples by technicians, but also saves laboratory space and improves space utilization. LED observation lights are specially equipped below the instrument testing area to help technicians clearly observe the breathable strip of the sample, ensuring accurate positioning of the sample measurement area during the injection process. In addition, the device is equipped with a 12.1 'industrial grade touch screen, with an intuitive and easy to understand interface design and convenient operation, greatly reducing the learning cost and operational difficulty for technical personnel.

Reliable and durable, reducing long-term usage costs

The core components of the C180M paper permeability tester are all products from globally renowned brands, ensuring stable and reliable overall performance while effectively reducing equipment failure rates, extending service life, and helping users reduce long-term maintenance costs.

As Labthink's new masterpiece in the field of paper permeability testing, the C180M paper permeability tester provides an innovative and practical solution for tobacco paper testing with its precise and compliant testing capabilities, efficient and intelligent testing process, convenient and safe user experience, and stable and durable product quality. It provides solid support for the improvement of quality control systems in the tobacco and related industries.
