Digital Melt Flow Index Tester for Plastics

Extrusion plastometer with load weights and automatic cutter for measuring melt flow rate of thermoplastics. Used in plastic compounding, pipe and film industries to verify resin grade.

Specification

A heated barrel melts a polymer sample and a weighted piston extrudes it through a standard die. The mass extruded in ten minutes gives the melt flow rate used to compare resin grades. An automatic cutter and timer improve repeatability.

Features

• Barrel temperature up to 400 deg C with PID
• Weight set from 0.325 kg to 21.6 kg
• Automatic timed cutter
• Hardened steel barrel and tungsten carbide die
• Large display with set and actual temperature
