Melt Flow Indexers are crucial instruments in the analysis of polymers and thermoplastics, pivotal for ensuring consistent quality in manufacturing processes such as extrusion and injection moulding. By determining the melt flow rate (MFR), melt volume rate (MVR), and critical parameters like melt density and viscosity, these tools provide invaluable data that optimise material behaviour under specific conditions. Find out more about our MFI testers below or contact our sales team for expert advice.
Choosing an MFI from AML Instruments means more than acquiring high-performance equipment; it’s about securing a commitment to excellence that spans the entire lifespan of your instrument. Our comprehensive support extends beyond standard service, offering calibration, maintenance, and expert assistance to ensure your operations continually achieve peak performance.
The melt flow rate is a crucial indicator of material viscosity at elevated temperatures and how it will process under load. Our indexers measure this rate and translate it into actionable insights, adhering to stringent international standards and enhancing quality control.
