SmartFill: Smart Sample Preparation Device for Wash Color Fastness Test
Overview
The SmartFill automates and standardizes sample preparation for wash color fastness testing. It integrates weighing, soap solution preparation, heating, and dispensing with precise temperature control and steel ball counting, significantly improving test accuracy and lab efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Fully Automated Workflow:
-
Weighs samples using a high-precision balance.
-
Automatically prepares and heats soap solution based on the set bath ratio.
-
Dispenses the precise volume of temperature-controlled soap solution into test cups.
-
Automatically dispenses the set number of steel balls into test cups.
-
-
Enhanced Accuracy & Reliability:
-
Precise weighing (up to 1000g, ±0.01g).
-
Accurate soap dispensing (2.5~1000ml, ±5%, resolution 1ml).
-
Precise temperature control (0–65°C, ±1°C).
-
Ensures strict adherence to bath ratio and test parameters.
-
-
Increased Efficiency & Cost Savings:
-
Saves ~10 minutes per test preparation cycle (for a 12-cup tester).
-
Processes ~200 samples/day efficiently.
-
Reduces individual labor costs by ~30% annually.
-
-
Smart Connectivity & Management (IoT):
-
Connects to SmarTexLab App (Phone/PC) via WiFi for remote operation.
-
App Functions: Set bath ratio/temperature, schedule soap replenishment/heating, view reports.
-
Direct Integration: Connects to ERP/LIMS via API for order management, process tracking, results logging, and automatic report generation.
-
Real-time report access for stakeholders.
-
-
Convenience & Maintenance:
-
Large Soap Tank (6500ml) with automatic refill capability.
-
In-app chat with ChiuVention support staff.
