Elongation-Testing D-MELT
The D-MELT makes it possible to also determine the Melt Elongation value (ME-value), a measure of the melt force. Both measurements, ME and MVR, are done with just one filling of the test barrel. The ME-measurement is completed before the start of the standard-confirming MVR-measurement.
To shield the HAUL-OFF from external influences during the test, it is installed in a closed case below the mi40, which is easily accessible from the front via doors. The cover is made of transparent polycarbonate. The case is permanently connected to the mi40 and the HAUL-OFF is already aligned upon delivery. The process enables a quick, simple and cost-effective comparison of a quality parameter.
Good to know
The ME-value is the force in the extruded strand at a certain draw-down ratio. This new combined method realizes the opportunity to determine a significant characteristic value of the extrusion behavior of your product in a quick, easy and cost-effective way. The D-MELT system and the ME-value are therefore ideal for continuous process monitoring or the inspection of incoming goods.
