Melt flow indexer MI-ROBO

Fully automated measurements

The system automatically fills the test chamber, measures, cleans and changes the capillaries. This means that any number of measurements can be carried out in succession without the need for operator intervention.

The MI-ROBO can be customized with optional extensions to cover specific testing requirements.

Good to know

In addition to MFR/MVR measurements according to ISO 1133 procedure B and ASTM D1238 procedure B, the instrument also enables multi-weight measurements using a single barell filling to determine the flow rate ratio (FRR) according to ASTM D1238 procedure D.
