The fabric pilling tester can evaluate the fabric pilling test, and 100CN and 290CN weights to adjust the contact pressure between the specimen and the friction disc. The digital pilling tester's circular track has a diameter of 40mm. The nylon bristle brush removes loose hair generated during sample friction, and the sturdy metal casing ensures smooth operation.
An abrasive disc simulates friction, optional loading weights
- The fuzzy pilling tester uses an abrasive disc covered with wool felt, sandpaper, or standard friction cloth as the friction medium. It rubs against the fabric sample, simulating the fuzzing and pilling experienced in everyday use.
- The sample holder can be equipped with weights of varying weights to secure the fabric sample. Standard pressure is applied using loading weights of 100cm and 290cm, ensuring consistent pilling resistance test conditions.
- The transmission system of the pilling tester machine, including a motor and connecting rod assembly, drives the friction disc and sample chuck along a circular path, ensuring a standard friction path.
- A fabric pilling tester's nylon bristle brush mounted on one side of the friction disc removes loose hair generated during sample friction, preventing it from affecting the friction effect.
Digital counter controls the circular path, the metal housing maintains stable operation
- The pilling tester in textiles utilizes a digital counter to control two sinusoidal mechanisms, ensuring the friction disc and sample chuck follow a circular path. Maintaining a stable 60 r/min circular friction speed ensures repeatability and standardization of the fabric pilling test.
- Automatic counting and LED display are included. The pilling tester machine's control panel features a push-button interface for controlling key test parameters, such as friction times, rotational speed, and pressure change, and also displays the pilling test results in textile.
- The pilling tester's sturdy metal housing and anti-vibration feet ensure smooth operation, preventing vibration from interfering with test results.
- The digital pilling tester utilizes linear guides for smooth, low-noise operation.

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 to maintain a pilling tester?
After each use, wipe the fabric pilling test area and surface of the abrasion pilling tester to remove dust and fiber residue to prevent the accumulation of stains that could affect the operation. The digital pilling tester's nylon brush, cork pad, or friction cloth should be cleaned or replaced regularly. Check the lubrication status of moving parts weekly and regularly inspect the power cord, plug, and electrical connections.
