Advanced melt indexer featuring a multiple weight set for multiple weight tests during a single test event, a load cell for initial polymer compacting and purging with a known force, and a programmable final purge.
This evolution of Melt Flow Testing where a single test can be performed with one, two or three test weights generates interesting rheological data including the shear sensitivity and the initial points of the rheological curve.
Using our VisualMELT software, this information is automatically calculated and graphed. Meets international standards.
Single test weights or multiple test weights can be used to perform tests with one, two or three weights.
Compacting, purge to test height, and end test purge using maximum test weight loaded OR optional Load Cell (with an applied force of up to a maximum of 75 kg). Ideal for “fractional” melts.
Innovative optional Piston for high flow rate polymers allows ALL WEIGHT to be removed.
Pre-programmed cycles for ASTM D 1238 and ISO 1133 Method A and Method B.
Ability to configure a wide range of parameters and settings to comply with the international standards.

An evolution in Melt Flow Testing:
A single test can be performed with one, two or three test weights in increasing OR decreasing weight order. Initial rheological data can be gained from these tests, including the shear sensitivity and the initial points of the rheologic curve. Using our VisualMELT software, this information is automatically calculated and graphed.

CEAST product range for rheological investigation on polymers include several instrument and in particular a Modular Line of Melt Indexer, specifically designed for the easy and accurate measuring of the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Volume Rate (MVR), fundamental properties of any thermoplastic material. For a more complete characterization of the rheological behaviour of materials CEAST is proposing a complete line of Capillary Rheometers, a floor model and also a new advanced bench top series specifically designed for R&D, process evaluations (injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding) but also for acceptance Quality Control on the incoming materials.
