Flow testing machine 4A

automaticfor plastics

The Semi Auto Melt Flow Indexer is designed for measuring of the MFR (melt mass-flow rate) and MVR (melt volume-flow rate) according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 with semi-automated functions such as loading test weight, residue purging and assisted cylinder cleaning to reduce the burden during operation, ensure operation safety and shortening work time. Equipped with an automated measurement unit, a series of operations from the start of measurement after sample filling to the end of measurement are performed automatically. Preheating time, piston holding position, and holding time can be set arbitrarily to maintain a constant actual preheating time until measurement starts, enabling stable measurement. Features & Benefits • High repeatability: thanks to excellent temperature uniformity/stability and powerful cleaning mechanism. • Automation of the following sequence will reduce workload and improve safety: • Automatic weight loading • Automatic start of the measurement • Automatic control of preheating parameters (Preheating time, piston holding position, and holding time) • Automatic residue purging • Automatic cutting device and extruded strand collection device for method A (Optional) • Motorized cylinder cleaning • Benchtop* suitable, Space-saving design: (*Height: 1180mm max.)
