The test results are more accurate and reliable.
The Fabric Shrink Tester photographs the test sample with a high-definition camera. It then measures the distances between the marked dots. It uses a unique algorithm to calculate the shrinkage rate. It gives all test results in real time.
Save $30,000/year for textile testing labs.
The conventional process of testing fabric shrinkage rate takes 6 minutes for each sample. It involves measuring and recording before and after washing. Then, calculating, typing, and printing. SmartShrink does all this in just 5 seconds.
It outputs data at once. This data shows fabric quality fully and fairly.
The Shrinkage Rate Tester can output warp and weft shrinkage. It also outputs seam twist rates and vertical and diagonal twist rates. It also rates the credibility of the test results. It can check the quality of the fabric more.
Famous brands are using the fabric shrinkage test machine.
International brands and authoritative testing institutions use the fabric shrinkage testing machine. These include Anta, Adidas, Texwinca, and ITS. You can connect this Fabric Shrinkage Machine to an ERP or LIMS system. You can upload the shrink test results to the factory’s ERP or the lab’s LIMS system. The Fabric Shrinkage Machine can help you manage fabric shrinkage test data.

Customer Feedback
“We are a supplier to American Eagle Outfitters and purchased the Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester on the recommendation of AEO. It is an innovative machine on the market that can quickly measure fabric shrinkage, helping us to make quicker fabric quality judgments, which greatly improves our economic efficiency. “
“I knew this Shrinkage Rate Tester at 2023 ITMA Asia in Shanghai, and asked a lot of questions on the spot, and this instrument is really valuable to us. We have already purchased 2 units this year, and it greatly improved the efficiency and the measured shrinkage data is also very accurate”.
Why SmartShrink?
Conventional Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Process
| SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Process
|
| 1. Mark the dots and wash the sample; 2. Place the fabric sample flat on the working table; and measure the distances between the dots by Shrinkage Template Scale; 3. Calculate the shrinkage rate manually based on the Fabric Shrinkage Formula and record it on the label; 4. Summarize the Fabric Shrinkage Rate data and fill in the form; 5. Type the fabric shrink data into the computer. | 1. Before washing, mark the dots and use this machine to scan the code of the fabric sample to identify the sample information; 2. After the washing, place the sample flat on the platform of SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester, and the camera above automatically collects the distances between the dots on the warp and weft directions of the fabric; 3. The Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester will calculate the shrinkage rate automatically in real-time by the computer software and save the shrinkage rate test results to form a report. |
| Time – Consuming of Conventional Testing Process: Over 6 minutes! Time – Consuming of SmartShrink Testing Process: Only 5 seconds! | |
| According to the conventional process, for a lab that tests 200 samples per day, it takes 20 hours to complete the whole work, and more than 2 people are required; while using this new Fabric Shrinkage Test Method and machine, it only takes 16 minutes. Therefore, the Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester can save more than 2 labor costs for the lab. | |
| Conventional Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Manual operation, the greater the workload, the higher the error rate! SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Smart and Auto measurement, more accurate and faster, with a lower error rate! | |

OUR BROCHURE
FLYER
The Fabric Shrinkage Tester captures photos before and after the textile shrinkage test. It uses its self-developed visual detection algorithm and advanced system. This system collects data on warp and weft threads. Then the software will calculate the shrinkage rate and present them on the computer. It will be a report and you can save it or print it, besides, it can be connected to the ERP or LIMS system. So it will be a perfect machine for textile factories or labs.
Test Operation Procedure
Here is a brief intruduction of test method, if you want to know the detailed operation procedures (step by step, including the software installation), contact us and we will tell you.
Make the samples according to standards. Mark the samples with reference points. Also, give the sample’s barcode numbers.
Open the software, then align the barcode of the sample with the scanner port. The software will enter the sample number.
Place the sample flat on the testing surface. Align it to the ruler on the surface.
Then press the MK test button. The instrument takes photos of the sample. It calculates the distance between the marked points and saves the data.
Measure, wash, and dry the sample in a “shrinkage test wash machine”. Next, repeat steps 1-3.Next, press the MS button to measure the dimensions of the marked points after washing.
Test Report Export
After completing the steps, click on “Report” to enter the test report and export it.
We have optional calibration boards (Acrylic Shrinkage Test Boards). The boards are verified by the third-party calibration company. We used this board to calibrate the SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Tester.
The calibration data has been uploaded to the cloud before the machine leaves the factory. Use the software’s cloud import function to view it.
And about how to use this board to calibrate this shrinkage rate testing machine, you can contact us and we will guide you step by step.
