AATCC KMS-M6 Washer, KMS-M6D Dryer

I. Product Overview

The AATCC KMS-M6 Washer & KMS-M6D Dryer are precision textile testing instruments designed to evaluate fabric durability, colorfastness, and dimensional stability under controlled washing and drying conditions. These machines comply with AATCC Standard Test Method M6, simulating industrial laundering processes to assess textile performance in real-world applications.

• Type: Stackable washer-dryer system for textile testing
• Key Metrics:
  • Colorfastness (ΔE CIELAB)
  • Shrinkage Rate (%)
  • Fiber Breakage Count
• Capacity: 5–10kg per cycle (adjustable load)
• Applications: Garment manufacturing, textile R&D, quality control

IV. Applications

1. Quality Control: Batch testing of dyed fabrics for commercial use
2. R&D: Developing wrinkle-resistant and color-retaining textiles
3. Education: Training on textile care labeling compliance
4. Forensic Analysis: Evaluating garment damage from improper laundering

Standard Operation Workflow:

1. Sample Preparation: Cut 100×100mm specimens
2. Washer Setup: Select cycle (e.g., AATCC M6-2013)
3. Dryer Setup: Adjust airflow and temperature
4. Cycling: Run 5–10 consecutive wash/dry cycles
5. Analysis: Measure color change via spectrophotometer

Safety Precautions:

• Load balance required (±50g tolerance)
• Avoid overloading detergent compartment
• Use heat-resistant gloves during operation
