Fully-Automated Melt Flow Index Tester / Melt Flow Rater | 520-D-M

Applications: Thermoplastics | Determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR)

The Melt Flow Rater model D-M is a compact/bench-top Melt Flow Index Tester for determination of MFR (melt mass-flow rate) and MVR (melt volume-flow rate) in fully automatic mode according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238.

 

Once samples are loaded to magazine, the sequence from sample filling to cylinder, MFR/MVR measurement, residue purging, data collection, and cleaning (cylinder/die/piston) is performed without human intervention.

 

Sample magazine for up to 10 or 40 (optional) individual measurements are available. 

 

This advanced Melt Flow Indexer tremendously reduces the workload of the users and enables them to go on to perform other job functions once samples are loaded to the magazine.

 

ISO 1133 Plastics-Determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of thermoplastics
ASTM D1238 Standard Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer

 

Features & Benefits

• Reduces labor costs and improves safety

• Fully-automatic Cycles: (Sample filling > Testing > Residue Emptying > Cleaning)

• High repeatability: thanks to excellent temperature uniformity/stability and elimination of human error during cleaning with a powerful cleaning mechanism

• Sample magazine for 10* individual measurements (*40 measurements are available as an option)  

• Automatic cleaning: Cylinder / Die / Piston

• Benchtop suitable, Space-saving design: (*Height: 1060mm)

• Emergency stop button

• Large size status indicator light: easy to recognize from a distance

• A wide variety of options: (Automatic measurement of procedure A, Dry air supply unit for magazine, Load change mechanism, etc.)
