ART-MFi10 Melt Flow Indexer
Manufactured by Artemis Instruments
Ideal for laboratories and manufacturers who require occasional testing of the physical properties of polymers, the ART-MFi10 is our basic entry-level Melt Flow Index Tester.
It’s designed for reliability and ease of use, with temperature controlled by a 16th Din PID temperature controller and PT100 thermocouple. Temperature set points are easily entered and displayed, while the quick-change barrel drastically reduces equipment downtime.
Sample cuts are taken manually using the supplied cut off knife at timed intervals which can be monitored using the on-board electronic timer.
Important: The ART-MFi10 can be supplied in either 110-120v 60 Hz and 220-240v 50 Hz.
