Material Flow Index Tester / Plastometer

• Heats up to +400 °C
• Melt rate up to 400.0 g/10 min
• 7" TFT touch display
• High temperature stability
• Weights included

The PCE-MFI 400 plastometer is a fast tester for the melt mass flow rate (MFR/MFI, in g/10 min) of thermoplastics, following ISO 1133. It measures melt rates up to 400.0 g/10 min at temperatures up to +400 °C. Use it for incoming inspection and production monitoring. The 7" TFT touch display shows all relevant parameters, so results are available quickly. An automatic cutting function improves test reproducibility.

The instrument stores common plastics with their ISO 1133 test temperatures and weights. These include PS, PP, PE, ABS, PC, PMMA, POM, MABS, SAN, E/VAC and others, so no setup is needed. You can add other materials with their own parameters and save them permanently. During the test, the granulate is melted in a preheated cylinder. A weighted piston presses the melt through a nozzle of defined diameter. The extruded mass is then weighed on an analytical balance.
