Mflow Extrusion Plastometers

Product catalog summary
Applicational Range: The Mflow Extrusion Plastometer is a modular and expandable device designed to measure melt mass and melt volume flow rates. It can be enhanced with additional features like a pneumatic weight lifting unit. The device ensures optimal temperature distribution through specialized heating elements and can be operated via a PC using testXpert® II software, allowing for multi-device management and statistical analysis.
Advantages: Key benefits include automatic parameter control to minimize errors, a quick-change weight selector, and a travel transducer for MVR determination. The testXpert® II software supports multi-device operation and integration with LIMS for data management.
Technical Specifications: The basic version supports MFR testing (Method A) and can be expanded for MVR testing (Method B), compliant with ISO 1133, ASTM D 1238, ASTM D 3364, and JIS K 7210 standards. It consumes 500 W of power and requires 6-10 bar of compressed air for optional pneumatic features. The device weighs 70.6 kg and measures 930 x 360 x 520 mm. It includes interfaces for USB and RS 232 connections.
Error Limits: Temperature accuracy is maintained within 0.3 °C, with a display resolution of 0.1 °C. Time measurement errors are limited to ±0.02 s (Method A) and ±0.001 s (Method B), while travel measurement errors are ±0.02 mm or ±0.4% of 6.25 mm.
Components and Accessories: The plastometer includes various components such as extrusion barrels, pistons, orifices, protective shields, extrudate cutters, and a weight selector. Each component is tailored for specific testing needs, with options for fluorine-free and fluorine-containing plastics.
Weight and Pneumatic Features: The device can be equipped with test weights ranging from 0.325 kg to 21.6 kg. A pneumatic weight lifting unit is available to facilitate weight handling, reducing manual effort and ensuring precise pre-heating positioning.

Mflow Extrusion Plastometers-1

Zw/ck / Roell Materials Testing Product Information Mflow Extrusion Plastometer Applicational range The Mflow is a modular, expandable device with which you can determine the melt mass and melt volume flow rate. Affordable to setup and gradually expand at any You can optionally expand the Mflow with, for example, the pneumatic weight lifting unit or the weight pegging unit. The extrusion plastometers are equipped with heating elements that are specially adapted to the thermal conditions of extrusion barrel and device covers. This achieves a very good distribution of temperature over space and time. Operation of the Mflow via a PC offers all the can be operated, the traceability of the results and their further processing with testXperf6 II LIMS is possible for a statistical check and as long-term statistics. • The automatic parameter control (APC) minimizes the measurement errors and optimizes the test • The weight selector allows you to change the test weights quickly and easily. The piston is also held is any pre-heating position required • A travel transducer is available for determination of the • testXperf6 II works for you - whether through multi- device operation or with testXperf6 II LIMS

Mflow Extrusion Plastometers-4

Zw/ck / Roell Materials Testing Product Information Mflow Extrusion Plastometer Pneumatic weight lifting unit and test weights The Mflow can be fitted with test weights depending on the type of plastics that is to be tested. For reduced workload, a pneumatic weight lifting unit can be added to lift and lower the weights without using muscle power. The weight-lifting unit allows the test weight to be raised automatically when the pre-heating position is reached, minimizing premature outflow of the plastic granulate during the pre-heating period. When using test weights with test loads e.g. 2.16...
