ROFIT 200 enables automatic and controlled sampling of staple fibers from the filling chamber of the baling press. In the filling chamber above the baling press, a horizontally moving grabber grabs fibers of a defined sample size. A sample is collected at a frequence of up to six times per minute. The collected fiber sample is released via a sample outlet. Further handling by the customer could mean presenting a plastic bag to the fiber sampling chamber for proper packaging. Alternatively, the collected samples can be dropped into a fall tube down to the baling press level. By means of a three filter measuring unit, ROFIT 200 also features semicontinuous measurement of whiteness, yellowness and fluorescence according to Berger and TAPPI. The output signals can be used for optional automatic control of the bleaching section.
