AbsorptionT.jpg (31020 bytes)AbsT-top.jpg (24863 bytes)Absorption Tower
This device measures how much liquid a core can absorb at various flow rates, how much is retained when pressure is applied and how much collapse occurs.  Testing variables include pad density, type and amount of superabsorbent, thermal bonding parameters, etc.


AcquisitionT.jpg (30279 bytes)Acquisition Tester
The most recent addition to the MTS Testing System, the Dynamic Acquisition Tester evaluates in real time how well liquids get into the absorbent core at any flow rate.  This test generates precise data for adjusting absorbent core density, acquisition layer construction and coverstock systems to optimize liquid penetration.  This device was developed to research new generations of ultrathin diapers and pads for the high-tech products of tomorrow.


SlantT.jpg (31814 bytes)Slant Tester
Used for testing surface qualities of coverstocks as well as the penetration of liquid into finished products.
RetTablesT.jpg (29399 bytes)Retention/Rewet Tester
This device is used for determining the rewet and surface dryness of final products or new materials and for improving coverstock performance for better skin care. 

Mannequin TestersMannFamilyT.jpg (25598 bytes)
A complete collection of styles of baby-, child- and adult-size mannequins is used to access fitting characteristics,  elastic systems and overall leakage performance in various body positions and simulating both sexes.  MTS also offers custom shapes, moving mannequins and mannequins with realistic body weights. 

DemandWetT.jpg (25954 bytes)Automated Demand Wettability Tester
Useful for assessing liquid take-up properties of pads made of various fibers and superabsorbents.  The demand Wettability tester can compare the rates and absorbent capacities of various fluff pulps, superabsorbents, proposed new materials and absorbent cores at different densities.
SpreadT-Contour.jpg (28727 bytes)Spreading and Wicking Testers.
Body-shaped, horizontal and vertical liquid spreading testers use electronics to measure how well the pad acceptsSpreadT-horz.jpg (20613 bytes) and moves liquid.  Both spreading speed and total amount of liquid actually moved can be determined.  The SpreadT-Vert.jpg (18986 bytes)horizontal tester is especially useful for studying variable density diaper designs.  Vertical wicking is used to measure quality of fluff pulp.  

LeakT-LegOut1.jpg (28699 bytes)Leakage TesterLeakT-pos1.jpg (18879 bytes)
Used for studying liquid penetration performance and failure capacity of various pad shapes and sizes.  The leakage tester with both baby- and adult-sized legs adjusts to simulate various sizes of people and is used to determine the best shape and distribution of materials in the absorbent core.  Several body positions and dosage points can be used to improve designs and liquid

penetration.  

LeakT-pos3.jpg (27229 bytes)      LeakT-pos2.jpg (23052 bytes)


kamaslab.jpg (40285 bytes)Other MTS Laboratory Resources
In addition to its ability to determine defibration energy costs of various materials, the Kamas Laboratory Hammermill produces prototype pad samples of different sizes, shapes and SAP compositions for testing new concepts.

NEW IN 2007!  The MTS Nit Counter, used in conjunction with the Kamas Mill and MTS TESTING System, provides further details of pulp quality obtained from processing pulps under various commercial equipment settings and conditions.
