Launch of new Melt Flow Indexer

SCITEQ is pleased to announce the launch of the new Melt Flow Indexer series 450.

The indexer is used to determine the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of a wide rage of thermoplastic raw materials (granulate) by extruding it in a molten state through a calibrated die using a reference weight. They comply with the international standards BS 2782 Part 7: Method 720A, ISO 1133, ASTM D1238 Methods A and B and equivalent.

The MFI-450 series is a rigid constructed table  apparatus using the latest 8-inch colour touch screen controller  technology with a very intuitive software. It has audible prompts at the correct time and results are calculated and displayed at the end of the test.

With the displacement transducer (standard on model C and C1) MVR testing can be performed. Weight loading device is standard on model C improving usability and ensuring weight is loaded evenly.

All models are supplied with micro-printer, complete weight set and accessories so that you only have to chose between the three available models:

·         450C (MFR, MVR and weight loading device)

·         450C1 (MFR, MVR)

·         450C2 (MFR)
