Melt Flow Index - MFR Model (Method - A & B)

Melt flow testing is an important part of quality control in the polymer and plastic product testing industry. The melt Flow Index – MFR Model (suitable for Methods – A & B) is the advanced technology used for the evaluation of the flow properties of molten resins/polymers. Method A & B of ASTM D 1238 and ISO 1133 testing standards can be performed on the testing equipment to inspect the MFI (Melt Flow Index), & MVR (Melt Volume Rate) of the materials.

The MFR Model is specially designed with HMI based Touchscreen display which offers easy operation and recording of test data. The test parameters can be programmed on the display screen and the test can be run on an automated model.

This quality testing equipment is important because it can help to identify potential problems early on and prevent them from becoming serious issues. The Presto MFR testing instrument will automatically cut the samples and has been incorporated with a temperature setting and preset timer functions for accuracy and repeatability. Users of the plastic and polymer testing industry can make use of this ASTM D 1238-1992 Standard Testing instrument and get an accurate analysis of test results.

Features of Melt Flow Index - MFR Model (Method - A & B)

The melt flow index tester has been designed with highly advanced features that make it easy for manufacturers to conduct melt flow tests on the materials. This testing instrument can measure the melt flow rate of the material under different conditions and can provide accurate results.

Below we have listed the features of this quality testing equipment:

• Touchscreen display (HMI based) for live test inspection and easy programming of testing parameters.

• Microprocessor-based inbuilt PID controller for accuracy and repeatability.

• Automatic sample cutting is offered to avoid human error while cutting.

• Easy selection and programming of test parameters with touchscreen configuration.

• The uniform and consistent heating of the cylinder allow a perfect test every time.

• The temperature Vs Time graph can be seen on the screen

• Program profile for selecting test parameters and performing the test.

• The user can create product identification, test temperature, time, etc. through HMI based program.

• USB option available for extracting the test data (Pen drive not a part of the offer)
