ART-MFi20 Advanced Melt Flow Indexer

ART-MFi20 Advanced Melt Flow Indexer

Manufactured by Artemis Instruments

A step up from the ART-MFi10, this high-performance Melt Flow Index tester is our “out-of-the-box” solution for meeting the rigorous quality control requirements of the polymer industry.

It offers a streamlined and automated approach to assessing polymer flow characteristics by combining robust mechanical engineering with a sophisticated 7” touchscreen interface and a dedicated microprocessor. This ensures full compliance with Method A of leading international standards.

With temperature accuracy to +/-0.1 °C and functions like an integrated auto-cut system, the ART-MFi20 is built to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of your melt flow test procedures.

Important: The ART-MFi20 can be supplied in either 110-120v 60 Hz and 220-240v 50 Hz.

Benefits

  • Integrated auto-cut system ensures accurate and repeatable sample weights by extruding samples at precise, user-defined intervals.
  • Streamlined calculations — test results are derived by entering the mean weight of extruded samples directly into the microprocessor.
  • LABlogic+ software platform allows for seamless data transfer, storage, and comprehensive analysis.
  • Users can input high/low tolerance thresholds for internal QA/QC monitoring and recall stored test parameters for rapid, effort-free setup.
  • Automatic sample cut-off eliminates manual cutting errors.
  • Dual zone heating prevents temperature imbalances.
  • Conforms to the most stringent global standards, including ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133.
  • Ethernet, USB and flash drive connection.
  • Quick-change barrel drastically reduces equipment downtime.
  • UKCA/CE certified.
  • Fully traceable certificate of calibration and instrument user manual.

This Melt Flow Index apparatus comes supplied as a comprehensive “out-of-the-box” solution. It includes:

  • Standard tooling: Discharge piston, 2.09h5 mm diameter precision test die, and a 2.16kg test load.
  • Professional cleaning kit: Cleaning rod, die tool, wire brush, and specialised cleaning cloths to maintain instrument and measurement integrity.
  • Validation tools: A Go/No-Go gauge for die orifice verification and a graduated filling cylinder.
