Melt Flow Indexer Testing Machine

Melt flow index tests are carried out to characterize the melt flow of plastic raw materials, products, and recycled granules in compliance with TS EN ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238 standards. It simulates the behavior of polymer products or raw materials in the melt phase.

3 models are available: AL MFI-A, AL MFI-A-B, and AL MFI-A-B-O

Double-compartment heating system
Independent temperature control in both compartments
Equivalence in heat distribution
User-friendly, high precision with easier use
Functional with touch screen
Automated cutter – adjustable cutting time
Rigid, solid, and stable structure
Ground tungsten carbide core (titanium plated) for high precision
Automated calculation and reporting software for MFI MVR test
Modular structure. AL MFI A, AL MFI A-B, and AL MFI A-B-O instruments are convertible to each other

The MFR Test uses a mass measurement method to determine the Mass Flow Rate value. The specimens are loaded with a mass accuracy of 0.1 mg and the MFR is calculated based on the measurements taken. On the other hand, the MVR Test utilizes a displacement measurement method to calculate the Mass Volume Rate. The time-dependent movement of a piston under a certain pressure is measured with 5-micron precision and used to determine the MVR value.
