Rotational viscometer MV 3000 BASIC

Mooneyprocessautomatic

The MV 3000 Basic is a rotational shear viscometer according to Mooney for performing – Viscosity tests (ML / MS 1+X) – Stress Relaxation testing – Mooney Scorch – Delta Mooney testing on polymers as well as rubber compounds for quality control, research and development applications. The MV 3000 Basic is supplied as a complete, ready-to-test instrument set including a personal computer, MonControl Software, cables, connectors and regulators as well as a standard set of tools and consumables. Easy to use: All test parameters are pre-programmed through the MonControl Software – the instrument is equipped with a single button for starting the test sequence. Direct feedback: An integrated multi-color LED status bar clearly displays the current machine state. Rugged: The compact and highly rigid frame is made from high strength aluminum. Along with direct-drive technology, this guarantees stable and accurate test results in every environment. Rotor, die assembly and drive system The most fundamental and important parts on a Mooney Viscometer are the rotor, die assembly and in-line drive shaft. The test sample is placed below and above the rotor with optional test film. Then the upper die is lowered onto the lower die with a force of 11.5 kN. After a pre-heat time, the rotor – which is now totally embedded in the test material in the closed die cavity – rotates at a fixed speed of 2 turns per minute, powered by an in-line drive system. During the whole test sequence, the temperatures of both dies are measured by a separate precision probe on each die and the heaters are accordingly controlled and regulated to precisely maintain the temperature at its setpoint.
