Melt Flow Indexer - MFI Tester - ToronMFI-Series - Extrusion Plastometer – MFI Melt Flow Tester / Indexer - ToronMFI-V
Extrusion Plastometer – MFI Melt Flow Tester / Indexer - ToronMFI-V
Extrusion Plastometer – MFI Melt Flow Tester / Indexer - ToronMFI-V is a compact, cost-effective tabletop instrument designed to measure the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of various thermoplastic materials in forms such as granules or film strips. It's especially valuable for quality control testing in thermoplastic production.
MVR is particularly helpful when analyzing materials with varying filler content, as well as when comparing filled and unfilled thermoplastics. MFR values can also be derived from MVR data if the melt density at the testing temperature and pressure is known.
The system allows for multiple parameters to be captured in a single test, including MFR, MVR, density, apparent viscosity, shear stress, and shear rate.
Standards
Extrusion Plastometer – MFI Melt Flow Tester / Indexer - ToronMFI-V exceeds all national and international standards for melt flow rate testing, including ASTM D1238, ISO 1133.
Extrusion Plastometer – MFI Melt Flow Tester / Indexer - ToronMFI-V Features
- Capture multiple results from a single test, including MFR, MVR, density, apparent viscosity, shear stress, and shear rate.
- The MFI unit is operated via a tablet computer for convenience and precision.
- The integrated software supports parameter configuration, temperature control, cutting, calibration, timing, result display (MFR/MVR), melt density calculation, as well as data retrieval and export.
- To enhance security and prevent accidental changes, key functions require password confirmation.
- Features a rapid heating system with minimal overshoot and high temperature stability. The system quickly returns to the set testing temperature and includes safety features such as over-temperature protection, voice prompts for temperature status, and recovery time alerts.
High Accuracy
A built-in microprocessor ensures precise temperature control within ±0.5°C and allows for quick ramp-up to the target temperature. The integrated scraper mechanism automatically cuts the extruded material at preset intervals, accurate to within ±0.1 second.
Easy to Operate
Measuring melt flow rate is now more straightforward and cost-effective than ever. The tester comes fully equipped with all necessary accessories and weights for operation and upkeep. No additional purchases required—just plug it in and start testing.
