ACAV A2

The ACAV A2 represents the simplest and most advanced analytical technique for ultra high shear paper coating optimization:

Best correlation to blade loads
Shear rate range from 100 to 10.000.000 1/s
Total analysis time complete with cleaning cycle, approximately eight (8) minutes
Possibility to analyze static and dynamic water retention of coating colors and base papers
Possibility to analyze most viscous slurries
Capillary and SLIT techniques

ACAV A2 provides solution for:

Better product quality with optimized coating recipes and high solids; better smoothness, gloss, bulk and stiffness, reduced need for calendering.
Higher speed and reduced breaks; lower blade pressure and with good rheology.
Reduced coating color costs with new traditionally rheologically difficult pigment and binder combinations: high brightness clays, new ground carbonates, application specific PCC´s.
Less demanding and cheaper base paper: more filler, less long fiber chemical pulp.
Smaller investments and operating costs; reduced drying requirements
