Lagge acquires Viscomat

Lagge Control AB has acquired the production rights for Viscomat 32020, which is a semi-automated system for determination of pulp viscosity from BerTech (Berge Technolgy AB). The system was initially developed by SCA. More than 70 systems have been sold since the system was introduced 1986, whereof 25 systems in Sweden.

Viscosity is an important property of pulp in many applications and it is often very critical to get a reliable determination.

The basic principle is that a pulp sample is dissolved in a solution of cupriethylenediamine (CED) and then passed through a capillary tube viscometer measuring the efflux time. The measurement and subsequent calculation of viscosity is automatic. The system implements the official SCAN 15:99, ISO 5351 and TAPPI 230 test methods.
