Product Information:

This instrument is used to determine the melt flow rate of various polymers in a viscous flow state. It is suitable not only for engineering plastics with relatively high melting temperatures, such as polycarbonate, polyarylsulfone, and fluoroplastics, but also for materials with lower melting temperatures, including polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, ABS resin, and polyoxymethylene (POM) resin. It can also be used to test materials that are sensitive to temperature and humidity.

The instrument is widely used in the plastics manufacturing industry, plastic products industry, petrochemical industry, as well as in universities, research institutions, and commodity inspection authorities.

The Galaxy Series Melt Flow Rate Tester integrates industrial design with advanced modern control technology, offering excellent control performance, efficient and convenient operation, and a modern, distinctive appearance. Its user-friendly interface and functional design improve testing efficiency and user experience, making it a high-quality testing instrument characterized by high precision, stability, reliability, and ease of operation.

Product Features

Stable Performance and High Precision

Core components such as the barrel, die, and piston are made of metal materials with low thermal expansion coefficients. The machining accuracy exceeds ISO standard requirements, ensuring stable performance and high precision.The instrument adopts a high-precision sampling circuit, with a maximum allowable temperature error of less than ±0.2°C and a temperature resolution of 0.01°C. The maximum allowable displacement error is less than 0.02 mm, with a resolution of 0.002 mm.

Excellent Control Performance

Equipped with specially customized high-temperature-resistant heaters and temperature sensors, the instrument can operate continuously within a temperature range of 50°C to 450°C.A multi-stage independent temperature control system ensures dynamically balanced heat distribution, with temperature deviation less than ±0.3°C across different positions.An intelligent dual PID fuzzy control algorithm enables fast, stable heating and rapid response, with temperature recovery time of less than 2 minutes after material loading.

Convenient, Efficient, and Safe Operation

Preset weights with manual selection are adopted, along with an automatic weight lifting mechanism that enables automatic loading without manual handling. Combined with the software, it supports fully automated testing, ensuring convenient and efficient operation.A protective cover for the weights prevents accidental falling, enhancing operational safety.A 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen is innovatively positioned at the front of the furnace, greatly facilitating test operation.An adjustable-angle metal observation mirror allows flexible viewing angles for easy monitoring of sample extrusion.

Enhanced Structural Design and Functions

The instrument features a built-in stacked modular accessory rack, allowing all accessories to be neatly organized, and supports automatic load-changing functionality.A die plug device based on the lever principle allows easy sealing of the die with a light push, preventing material leakage and extending the measurement range up to 3000 cm³/10 min.Additional functions such as material compaction during feeding, preloading, and residual material extrusion improve operational convenience while reducing human error.

Advanced Measurement & Control Software

The concise yet feature-rich measurement and control software supports multiple test methods, including the mass method, Method A (volume method), and Method B (volume method).It provides functions such as parameter setting, constant temperature control, sample cutting, metering calibration, automatic weight loading, automatic timing, and automatic calculation of MVR and MFR results.In volume method testing, the system can automatically calculate the MFR value based on the input sample mass and compare it with the results from the mass method.The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with menu-guided operation that simplifies parameter setup, test initiation, and data export.The inclusion of temperature–time curves and MVR–measurement count curves enhances data visualization, enabling users to clearly observe temperature fluctuations and result dispersion.

Flexible Testing and Data Management

The system supports customized test schemes, allowing up to 8 sets of test programs to be preconfigured and selected directly before testing, improving efficiency.It automatically identifies valid testing intervals in accordance with GB, ISO, and ASTM standards and initiates the test automatically.Supports large-capacity USB storage with up to 5000 test records. Equipped with DMS data management software for convenient data export and report generation.Optional PC software enables bidirectional control between the PC and touchscreen and allows uploading of test results to remote databases and information management systems.Supports multiple languages, including Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, and Russian.The software also features user permission management, allowing different operation and access rights based on user roles, helping protect measurement data and prevent misuse.

Innovative Industrial Design

The instrument features a full aluminum body, lightweight yet robust, manufactured with advanced processing and surface treatment techniques to deliver a strong industrial aesthetic and visual impact.A distinctive combination of silver and black creates a modern, technological, and premium appearance, enhancing brand identity and laboratory display value.Unlike traditional cylindrical designs, an innovative trapezoidal furnace structure is adopted, offering a unique and modern form.The 15° inclined body design provides a dynamic appearance and improved ergonomics. The upper rotating structure reduces space usage and enhances operational convenience.The 10.1-inch HD touchscreen, combined with a metal housing and full-screen design, works seamlessly with user-friendly software to deliver an immersive human-machine interaction experience.

Advanced Testing Capabilities

The instrument supports automatic load switching and can calculate the Flow Rate Ratio (FRR).It supports both standard weight loading and additional load preloading modes, with adjustable preload positions.Full-stroke piston displacement measurement is available, with real-time display of piston displacement and its position within the barrel.
