For determining the melt flow index (MFI), melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume flow rate (MVR) of a wide range of thermoplastic raw materials (granulate) by extruding it in a molten state through a calibrated die using a reference weight.
The user-friendly Melt flow indexer – MFI 450 series is a rigid constructed table apparatus using the latest touch screen controller technology with a very intuitive software. It has audible prompts at the correct time and results calculated and displayed at the end of the test. With the displacement transducer MVR testing can be performed. Supplied with fully equipped weight kit up to 21,6 kg and full accessory kits.
The semi-automatic weight loading device improves use-ability and ensure weights are loaded evenly.
