MELT FLOW INDEXER
Melt Flow Indexer (Plastometer), often known as Melt Flow Index Tester is used in the laboratory to measure the melt flow index (MFR / MFI) in the unit of g/10min and the melt volume flow rate (MVR) in the unit of cm³/10min of thermoplastic polymer in the form of pellets, powder or fine granules. The Melt Flow Index Testers are designed to perform melt flow rate testing according to EN ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 standard. The testing instrument can be configured individually by means of various automated accessories and many options to adapt to applications.
Melt indexer with automatic weight selection can carry out tests according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238, procedures B, as well as ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238 procedure C for the “Half Height / Half Diameter” standard and procedure D for the FRR test (Flow Rate Ratio) and ASTM D 3364. Also the manual procedure A is possible to perform.
The IV Tester is to determine the intrinsic viscosity (IV), which is also called solvent viscosity (SV), without the use of chemical solvents. Intrinsic viscosity is used to characterize the average molecular weight of PET and PA-based polymers.

MELT FLOW INDEXER PRODUCTS
IV Tester
The IV TESTER is a simple device for the determination of Intrinsic Viscosity (IV or SV value), with no chemical solvents are used. This IV Tester is used in particular for quality control of polyester (PET) or polyamide (PA).
MI-1
Conforming to the guarded hot plate standard ISO 8302, ASTM C177, EN 1946-2, EN 12664, EN 12667, and EN 12939, the GHP 900 series thermal conductivity testers are specifically designed to excel with thicker, high-density specimens.
MI-2 series
The mi-2 Melt Flow Index series can carry out a single weight test according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238, procedures A, B and C. In addition it runs tests according to ASTM D 3364. The mi-2 easily performs melt-flow-rate (MFR), as well as melt-volume-rate (MVR) measurements.
MI-3 series
The Melt Flow Index instrument MI-3 enables to measure the melt-flow-rate (MFR) and the melt-volume-rate (MVR) with a semi-automatic instrument.
MI-40 series
The Melt Flow Index mi40 with automatic weight selection can carry out tests according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238, procedures B, as well as ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238 procedure C for the “Half Height / Half Diameter” standard. In addition, it runs tests according to procedure D for the FRR test (Flow Rate Ratio) and ASTM D 3364.
MI40 Auto
The mi40 melt index tester is a modular component of the Laboratory Automation Platform, which enables fully automated quality control of the flow properties of plastics.
MI-ROBO
The MI-ROBO runs the melt flow rate testing process by fully automatically performing sample loading, cleaning and die changing according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 standards for granulate as well as powder materials.
