Concora Medium Fluter

The Concora medium fluter consists of a main case and a fluter case. The motor and controls are installed in the main case. Behind the safety cover of the fluter are the geared elements and heating elements. On its top there is a slot for insertion of samples. The thermostat, mounted in the main case, regulates and displays the fluter segments temperature. The standard unit is delivered with integrated geared segments for one flute. For other flute types, the Concora medium fluter with exchangeable flute segments is available. The corresponding “third hand” and tamping block are used for adhesively attaching the previously created flute.

Test Description

A 152.4 x 12.7 mm test strip is created with the strip punch (see page 9) and fed into the sample slot that leads to the fluter which has been preheated to operating temperature. On pushing the start button geared segments pull the stripthrough the machine and press it with a defined force and preset temperature, creating flutes in the strip. After flute creation, it is delivered to a compartment for removal by the operator. It can now be used for a CCT test or prepared for the CMT test using the “third hand”. In this process the flute is placed of the flute block and the third hand is closed. An adhesive tape acc. to standard is then applied to the flute, and the tamping block is used to firmly attach it. At this point the flute block is pushed sidewards and the tape is removed.
