Application and Use of Taber Tester in the Textile Industry

2025-07-25

Taber Tester (Taber Abrasion Tester) is a key testing equipment widely used in the textile industry, mainly used to evaluate the abrasion resistance, pilling resistance and surface durability of fabrics. Its precise quantitative testing capability provides an important basis for textile quality control, product development and industry standard certification. The following are the main uses of Taber Tester in the textile industry:

1. Evaluate the wear resistance of fabrics

(1) Simulate real wear environment

The Taber tester simulates the wear of fabrics in daily wear, washing, friction and other environments by rotating friction.

It is suitable for all kinds of textiles, such as clothing fabrics (cotton, polyester, wool, etc.), home textiles (sheets, sofa covers), industrial fabrics (tents, canvas), etc.

(2) Quantifying the wear resistance level

The wear resistance level of the fabric is determined by calculating the mass loss (unit: mg) after a certain number of friction cycles or observing the degree of surface wear.

For example:

Highly wear-resistant fabrics (such as work clothes and military uniforms) need to withstand a higher number of cycles (such as 10,000 times) without obvious wear.

Low wear-resistant fabrics (such as silk and lace) may be significantly damaged after 1,000 friction cycles.

2. Test the anti-pilling performance

(1) Evaluate the changes in the fabric surface

During the friction process, the fabric surface may form pilling due to fiber breakage and entanglement, affecting the appearance and feel.

The Taber tester can be combined with standard ratings (such as ISO 12945-2, ASTM D4970) for anti-pilling testing.

(2) Optimize the textile process

Optimize product design by comparing the test results of different fiber compositions, weaving methods or finishing processes (such as anti-pilling additive treatment).

3. Testing the durability of special textiles

(1) Automotive interior materials

Seat fabrics, seat belts, car roofs, etc. need to withstand long-term friction. Taber testers can simulate the wear and tear after long-term use.

(2) Protective clothing and functional textiles

Fire suits, medical protective clothing, etc. need to maintain durability in extreme environments. Testing their wear resistance can ensure their service life.

(3) Carpets and decorative fabrics

Evaluate the degree of wear of carpets after long-term trampling and optimize fiber selection (such as nylon vs. polypropylene).

4. Comply with international testing standards

Taber testers are widely used in textile testing laboratories around the world and comply with many international standards, such as:

ASTM D3884 (Textile Abrasion Resistance Test)

ISO 5470-1 (Coated Fabric Abrasion Resistance)

GB/T 21196 (Chinese Textile Abrasion Resistance Standard)

5. Optimize production process and cost control

Material screening: Select the most cost-effective raw materials by comparing the wear resistance data of different fabrics.

Process improvement: such as adjusting yarn density and finishing process (such as resin treatment) to improve wear resistance.

Reduce return rate: Ensure that products meet industry standards and reduce customer complaints caused by quality problems.

Conclusion

The application of Taber tester in the textile industry covers abrasion resistance testing, anti-pilling evaluation, durability analysis of special textiles and other aspects, providing a scientific basis for product quality control, R&D optimization and industry certification. Its precise testing methods and wide standard applicability make it an indispensable equipment for textile enterprises, testing institutions and R&D centers.

What is the difference between a jet pump and a plunger pump?

2025-07-25

The jet pump and the plunger pump are two different types of pumps, with the main differences reflected in the following aspects:

1.Working Principle

Jet Pump: It is a fluid pressurization device that primarily utilizes high-pressure working fluids (water, air, steam) to generate a high-speed jet through a nozzle, which enters a high-pressure chamber, thereby increasing the pressure to meet operational requirements. It relies entirely on the dynamic motion between fluids. It has strong self-priming capability and can handle gas-liquid mixed fluids.

Plunger Pump: The motor drives the pump's crankshaft to rotate via large and small pulleys and a narrow belt. The crankshaft then drives the connecting rod and plunger to perform reciprocating motion. When the plunger moves backward, the inlet valve opens, allowing liquid to enter the pump body until the plunger reaches its rearmost position (180° rotation of the crankshaft), completing the suction process. The plunger then begins to move forward, compressing the liquid in the pump's valve chamber, increasing the pressure. As a result, the inlet valve closes, and the discharge valve opens, allowing the liquid to be pushed out by the plunger through the discharge valve. The flow rate can be adjusted by changing the size of the plunger.

2.Structural Differences

Jet Pump: Simple in structure, primarily generates power through fluid movement, with lower maintenance costs in the long run (no vulnerable parts) and lower sealing requirements.
Plunger Pump: Mainly generates power through the reciprocating motion of the plunger. Compared to the jet pump, it has higher long-term maintenance costs and extremely high sealing requirements to prevent plunger leakage.

3.Application Scenarios

Jet Pump: Deep well water extraction, chemical industry (capable of transporting corrosive media,etc).

Plunger Pump: High-pressure cleaning, petroleum industry (mud pump, water injection pump, etc.), water well drilling, etc.

The jet pump primarily relies on hydrodynamic force for operation, making it suitable for simple working conditions and offering corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the plunger pump operates through the reciprocating motion of a plunger, making it ideal for high-pressure, high-efficiency, and stable-flow applications. You can choose the appropriate pump based on different working conditions and requirements. Elephant Machinery offers both plunger pump and jetting pump in our product lineup.

AI revolution in the plastic woven valve bag industry How AI visual inspection equipment reshapes the production landscape

2025-07-25

In the plastic woven valve bag production workshop, there used to be the tedious and inefficient manual bag picking - workers stared at the bags on the assembly line day after day, trying to find holes, joints or bottom sticker deviation defects from the fast-moving cloth rolls, but fatigue always led to missed inspections, and high labor costs and unstable product quality became stumbling blocks to the development of enterprises. Today, the emergence of Gachn AI visual inspection system is bringing disruptive changes to this traditional industry with its "eagle eyes and golden eyes" precision and efficiency.

AI Vision Inspection System VS-Ⅲ for valve bag machine

Why must plastic woven valve bag companies embrace AI visual inspection?

The pain points of the traditional production model have long become an industry consensus. Raw material cloth rolls often have problems such as scratches, holes, and deviations of the warp and weft lines. Manual bag picking not only requires 4-5 workers per production line, but also is affected by emotions and fatigue, and the missed inspection rate remains high, resulting in an excessive scrap rate of finished bags. What's more difficult is that the current situation of difficulty in recruiting workers and rising labor costs year by year has put companies in a dilemma of "wanting to expand production but not being able to support workers."

The birth of the Gachn AI visual inspection system is precisely to solve these problems. As the core technological achievement of Gachn Jeenar this system realizes the full process intelligence from raw material detection to finished bag defect recognition through the combination of high-definition cameras and deep learning algorithms.

Gachn AI visual inspection system: more than "seeing", more about "understanding"

Understanding ordinary visual equipment,Gachn AI visual inspection system , has real "intelligent judgment" capabilities. It can accurately capture two types of key defects:

Raw material defects: including holes, joints, warp and weft offsets, abnormal scratches, etc. in the cloth roll, blocking the generation of waste from the source;

Bag making process defects: such as skewed corners of finished bags, no bottom stickers, bottom sticker folds, poor overlap, etc., to ensure zero defects in factory products. The "cleverness" of this system lies in its adaptive learning ability. When changing the production version, the equipment can automatically identify the inspection standards of the new specification bags without manual re-adjustment, which does not affect the normal production rhythm at all. The 0.05% rejection rate is far beyond the limit of manual inspection, making product quality stable at a new level.

Real benefits: money is saved and efficiency is improved

The practice of a cement valve bag enterprise in Anhui is the most convincing: after the introduction of the collection system, the number of workers on a single production line was reduced from 5 to 2, saving more than 200,000 yuan in labor costs each year; the reduction in material waste has reduced the cost of raw materials by 15%, and the scrap rate has dropped from 1% to below 0.1%, and the overall benefits have been significantly improved.

These achievements are derived from the four core advantages of the system:

Cost reduction: a single production line reduces 1-2 bag picking workers, and with the technology of single-side lamination and reduced overlap width, the annual cost savings can reach hundreds of thousands;

Efficiency improvement: a stable speed of 120-130 bags/minute, 7×24 hours of continuous operation, so that the production capacity can be easily increased by 30%;

Quality preservation: a scrap rate of less than 0.1% helps the company establish a "high quality" reputation in the fierce competition;

Intelligence: the one-key number change function realizes fast specification switching, and the electric control system with free upgrades within 3 years makes the equipment never outdated.

From detection to management: data-driven production upgrade

The value of Gachn AI visual inspection system is not limited to eliminating waste. The system automatically records all defect data, generates defect classification and proportion reports, and provides enterprises with clear quality improvement directions. For example, when the proportion of "bottom sticker offset" defects increases, managers can quickly trace back to the parameter deviation of the heat sealing process, realizing the transformation from "passive quality inspection" to "active optimization".

This digital management capability allows enterprise decision makers to gain insight into production bottlenecks through data and gradually build a "zero defect" production system. As a customer in Fujian reported: "After installing the system, we can clearly explain the distribution of defect types in each shift for the first time, and process improvement has a clear goal."

Choose Gachn AI visual inspection system , choose peace of mind: not only equipment, but also a long-term partner

Gachn provides customers with full life cycle protection: 1-3 days of fast installation cycle does not delay production, on-site training ensures that workers can quickly get started, and the free upgrade of the electronic control system within three years keeps the technology up to date. At present, this set of equipment has been adapted to all imported and domestic plastic woven valve bag bag making machine models, and is running stably on the production lines of customers in Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi and other places. When AI visual inspection becomes the industry standard, choosing Gachn group means choosing lower costs, higher efficiency and more stable quality. In the wave of intelligent transformation of the plastic woven valve bag industry, early layout can seize the market opportunity early - after all, in the competition where quality and cost determine the outcome, the difference of 0.05% missed inspection rate may be the life and death line between enterprises.

The Ultimate Cooling Showdown Centrifugal vs. Screw Chillers – Which Powers Your Ice Thermal Storage Better

2025-07-25

In the pursuit of building energy efficiency, ice thermal storage systems stand out as a transformative solution. By producing ice during off-peak nighttime hours and utilizing it for cooling during daytime peak periods, these systems significantly cut energy costs and reduce grid strain.
At the core of this technology lies a critical decision: choosing the right chiller technology—centrifugal or screw. This guide explores their differences and offers insights into making the best choice for your specific needs.

dual-mode ice storage centrifugal chiller vs screw chiller

Centrifugal vs. Screw Chillers: Core Advantages

Centrifugal Chillers

Centrifugal units compress refrigerant using high-speed impellers, boasting high single-unit capacity (often >2,000 RT) and exceptional energy efficiency (IPLV ratings over 10.0). Ideal for super-large commercial projects, they maintain strong partial load performance between 40%–100%.
However, they are prone to surge effects at low loads and typically require variable frequency drives or multi-head designs, leading to higher initial costs.

Screw Chillers

Screw chillers rely on twin-rotor compression, offering a compact design, broad cooling capacity range (80–2,000 RT), and excellent load adaptability from 10% to 100%. They handle unstable grid conditions well and support modular expansion. While their COP is slightly lower than centrifugal models at full load, they come with 15–20% lower maintenance costs and better flexibility in mid-scale applications.

Scenario-Based Selection Guide

Large-Scale Complexes (>100,000㎡)

For massive developments, centrifugal chillers reduce system complexity. A data center project using three 2,000 RT centrifugal chillers achieved 30% energy cost savings, thanks to highly efficient ice production and melting cycles.

Mid-Sized Cooling Stations (50,000–100,000㎡)

In hospitals or university campuses, screw chillers offer modular control and automatic mode switching, cutting energy use by 22% annually in one case using 800 RT units.
Retrofit Projects or Historic Buildings
With limited space or height, screw chillers’ smaller footprint and lower vibration levels are ideal. A heritage building retrofit used noise-dampened screw chillers to meet a ≤65dB requirement—seamlessly integrating into the protected structure.

energy efficient chiller system large-scale building cooling

Lifecycle Cost Comparison (10-Year Outlook)
