The pilling tester machine with 40mm + 1mm circular trajectory features a touchscreen for easy adjustment of parameters such as friction times, rotation speed, and test time. The nylon brush is height-adjustable, and the abrasive disc is durable. The pilling resistance tester moves at a speed of 60r/min, simulating everyday friction and testing fabric pilling.
High-definition touchscreen for convenient test parameter adjustment
Hard abrasive disc with optional weights
The circular locaus pilling tester is a device specifically designed to evaluate the pilling properties of textiles. Fabric pilling testers can be widely used for fabric pilling tests on materials such as clothing, home textiles, automotive interior materials, and medical protective fabrics.

Q1: What is a pilling tester?
A1: The pilling tester is a specialized test device used to evaluate the degree of surface fuzzing and pilling of textiles (such as woven and knitted fabrics) under friction conditions. It quantifies the fabric's pilling resistance by simulating the friction experienced during daily wear or washing.
Q2: How does a fabric pilling tester work?
A2: The fabric pilling tester applies a specific pressure to the specimen, contacting it with a standard abrasive (such as a nylon brush, sandpaper, or cork backing). The mechanical motion creates friction, leading to fiber breakage, fuzzing, and ultimately, pilling. During the pilling stage, the fiber ends detach from the fabric surface due to friction, forming fuzz. During the pilling stage, the fuzz entangles into balls, some of which fall off due to continued friction.
Q3: What is the function of a pilling tester?
A3: The pilling tester machine simulates the frictional environment fabrics experience during wearing, washing, and daily use by applying friction, pressure, and motion. It also measures the fabric's resistance to pilling by detecting whether fibers on the surface tend to loosen, tangle, and form pills. The test results can guide the apparel, home textile, and other industries in selecting more durable fabrics, enhancing the comfort and lifespan of end products.
Tips: How do I choose the right pilling tester for my fabric?
Depending on the standard and fabric material, circular or rotary pilling testers are suitable for knitted fabrics; random or flat friction pilling testers are ideal for woven fabrics. For wool fabrics, a wool-covered disc or circular friction device is recommended. For synthetic fabrics, a tester with adjustable weights and friction speed is recommended. For large-volume testing, a pilling tester with multiple fixtures is recommended. Fabric pilling testers with a counter or automated software can improve testing accuracy and efficiency.
