QS Fibre Dewatering UnitQS Fibre Dewatering UnitThe QS Fibre Dewatering Unit is a compact counter-top device designed to dewater a  pulp sample to approximately 40% solids in three minutes. Using air pressure ( 3.5 bar)  and a sealing puck, this instrument  effectively squeezes excess water from the sample that was placed in the tube. 

Once the first sample dewatered, consistency is determined  and subsequent dewatered pulp samples can be weighed directly  without re-measuring consistemcy, thereby saving time and reducing sources of error.
