  • MFI-500/AUTO

    MFI-500/AUTO

     

    The melt index meter is used to determine the melt flow rate of an extruded polymer in a molten state through a calibrated nozzle and using a reference weight.

    Fluency Index Meter model MFI-500 / AUTO – Fully Automatic with automatic weight application system,

    Direct Reading of the VALUES Index of Fluidity VOLUMETRICN, GRAVIMETRIC and of DENSITY of the molten plastic material (Using in Volumetric method, it does NOT need to weigh in the Precision Scale the extruded material to calculate later the Index of Fluency).

    • Output to PC through port with SOFTWARE MFI compatible with Windows 
    • Automatic cutting of extruded samples
    • Temperature controller (keeping +/- 0.1ºC)
    • Equipment prepared to work with corrosive materials such as PVC

    Characteristics:

    • The standard equipment includes all standard work-cleaning tools, piston and nozzle.
    • Temperature Range up to 325ºC (*) with resolution of 0.1ºC
    • Piston travel: Up to 25 mm with a resolution of 0.1 mm
    • Measurement of piston travel: Via a rotary encoder
    • Digital Stopwatch: with a range of up to 9999 seconds with sound alarm programming.
    • Automatic sample cutting
    • MOTORIZED test weights application system
    • High strength powder paint
