Semi-Automatic Melt Indexer - "Semi-Auto Melt Indexer 4A"
Semi-automated melt indexer (MFR/MVR measuring device, melt flow tester) for load elevation, residual resin extrusion, and furnace cylinder cleaning, etc.
- Equipped with a measurement automation unit, it automatically performs a series of operations from the start of measurement after sample input to the end of measurement. - It automatically handles the load of test weights and the discharge of residual samples, contributing to reducing the operator's workload, improving safety, and shortening work time. - By arbitrarily setting the preheating conditions (preheating time, piston holding position, and holding time), it is possible to keep the actual preheating time constant until the start of measurement, enabling stable measurements. - With the furnace cleaning unit, the cleaning of the furnace cylinder can be done simply by setting a gauze.

Applications/Examples of results
It is a testing machine (Melt Indexer, MI meter, MFR tester, Melt Flow Index tester) that measures the indices MFR (Melt Mass Flow Rate) and MVR (Melt Volume Flow Rate), which represent the fluidity of thermoplastic resin during melting. It is a semi-automatic model that has automated and powered functions such as test load ascent and descent, residual resin extrusion, and furnace cylinder cleaning.
