TREEPOINT MORAPEX®Material Control
The MORAPEX® allows the control and analysis of raw or dyed material in minutes
instead of hours, compared to standard methods. It can be used for textiles (woven,
non-woven, knitted, yarn or fibre), paper and leather.
Some typical MORAPEX®applications include:
•pH measurement
•control of wash procedure
•wash and water fastness checks
•perspiration fastness checks
•residual analysis (including size, alkali, acids, salts,
peroxide, formaldehyde, etc.)
•conductivity analysis
Production optimisation: The system works according to the method
of forced desorbtion, which means the inner condition of a fabric is
revealed. Testing can occur at any stage of manufacture, for example,
on incoming fabrics, intermediate analysis during production, analysis of
finished goods, research and development checks, the effect of process
and equipment adjustments, etc.
Testing with MORAPEX®means within a short time (minutes instead of
hours) weaknesses are identified and errors are avoided at an early
stage. This increases the efficiency of the production process.
Operation: The test material is placed between two plates, which are
heated to a specific temperature at a pre-defined pressure. A test liquid
is pressed through the fabric and the extract received is collected in a
tube. This treatment gives two interesting results: First of all, the
obtained extract can be analysed quickly and easily (this contains all
residuals, which are still held in the fabric). Secondly, the treated
sample shows results in two minutes comparable to those achieved by
standard fastness control methods.
The MORAPEX®A unit is designed and optimised for use in production.
This machine works on a non-destructive basis.
The MORAPEX® Sunit is a stationary unit with a broader range of
features and functions. The speciality of the system is, it works with all
chemicals as an extraction fluid and can be heated up to 150°C. This
way, the MORAPEX® S can perform sophisticated evaluations including
fibre separation, replace Soxhlet procedures, etc. These functions are
in addition to the capability of the MORAPEX®A unit.
MORAPEX®is part of the TREEPOINT product family and the complete
concept to optimising production. However MORAPEX®can also be
used as an independent “stand-alone” system.
