Extrusion Plastometers / Melt Flow Index Testers

Extrusion plastometers, also referred to as melt flow index testers, test the melt mass flow rate (MFR) and melt volume flow rate (MVR) of a plastic melted mass. These devices come in handy when performing quality control, incoming quality inspection, selecting materials, and establishing processing machinery. The ideal plastometer will depend on testing volume and manufacturing phase. Users can choose anything from manual versions for basic examinations to computer-automated types for 24-hour continuous operations.
