Melt Flow Index Tester – Deluxe Model

Availability: In Stock
Shipping location: All over the world
Brand: Testing Instruments

Presto’s Melt Flow Index tester is designed exclusively for the perfect measurement of melt flow rate of molten plastics or granules. The Plastic melt flow index tester is calculated by performing a manual/ automatic test procedure on a testing instrument in order to check the melt volume rate of the flow of plastic granules (which is measured in grams in a precise time of ten minutes). The procedure passed through a die having a particular measurement in diameter and length. It is carried out under a specific pressure and temperature with the ideal position of a piston in a cylindrical container inside a heated metallic barrel.

Presto is a leading manufacturer and supplier of melt flow index tester, melt flow resistance (MFR) Tester, Polymer testing machine, plastic granules testing instruments etc. all over the world for the purpose of flow rate testing. The testing equipment meets ISO and ASTM standards with the main focus on meeting the principal circumstances of load and temperature.

The Presto’s Melt Flow Index Tester has a PID temperature controlled based on Micro Processor. Its temperature range varies from ambient to 400°C.

It also has a very good resolution of 0.1°C with the accuracy of ± 0.1°C. The testing instrument has a pre-settable digital timer extensible up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds and with the signal output. The instrument ensures easy operation and accuracy.

The Melt Flow Rate Tester plays a crucial role in assessing the flow properties of thermoplastic materials, ensuring their suitability for various manufacturing applications like injection molding and extrusion processes. Presto’s Plastic Melt Flow Tester provides precise measurements of the melt volume rate (MVR) and melt flow rate (MFR), making it a reliable instrument for quality control in polymer production.

This Melt Indexer is equipped with advanced PID temperature control and a digital timer, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results. It complies with ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133 standards, making it an industry-preferred Polymer Flow Index Tester. With a temperature range up to 400°C and a resolution of 0.1°C, the equipment guarantees high-precision polymer melt flow analysis.

Industries dealing with thermoplastics, polymer rheology, and material characterization trust Presto’s Melt Flow Analyzer for its user-friendly operation, robust design, and high accuracy. Whether testing polyethylene, polypropylene, or PET granules, this MFI Tester delivers consistent results under controlled conditions. With its automatic and manual testing options, it is a must-have for manufacturers looking to maintain stringent quality control in plastic production.

How Does a Melt Flow Index Tester Work?

The Melt Flow Index (MFI) Tester measures the flow rate of molten plastic under controlled conditions. Here's how it works:

1. Heating: The plastic sample is placed in a heated barrel at a specific temperature.

2. Load Application: A standard weight applies pressure on the molten plastic.

3. Extrusion: The molten material flows through a die of fixed dimensions.

4. Measurement: The extruded plastic is cut and weighed over a set time.

5. Calculation: The Melt Flow Index (MFI) is expressed in grams per 10 minutes, indicating the polymer’s viscosity and flow characteristics.
