Model MP600 Melt Indexer

Extrusion Plastometer

Tinius Olsen has two models of melt indexer to meet almost every need. We offer either our low cost, Procedure A (of ASTM D1238) ONLY model, the MP200, or our more familiar, flexible, model MP600.

The MP600 is an advanced melt indexing system that allows easy, modular upgrading from its basic capabilities with accessory packages for more automated testing, including control of multiple units from a single PC and automatic flow rate measurements using up to three different loads in one test.

All testing hardware is fully complemented by Tinius Olsen developed software that turns your hardware into a sophisticated quality analysis system. Be sure to examine the software products to determine which package is right for your application.

• Conforms to ASTM 1238, D3364, ISO 1133, BS 2782, DIN 53735, JIS K7210 and other similar methods
• Building Block Approach means units are easily upgraded

The basic MP600 Extrusion Plastometer includes the operating tools, piston rod and orifices as standard equipment. Add weights as required and you are set for Procedure A type tests. Weights and reference thermometers are available for all standard and custom applications. Corrosion resistant components are available for testing fluoroplastic resins and fluorocarbon plastics.

The MP 600 microprocessor-based Controller/Timer is fully interactive with the operator. It features the latest digital technology, membrane keypad, high visibility 4-line vacuum fluorescent display, serial communications port, non-volatile memory for calibration and test parameter storage (with power-up in last used program), indicating LEDs, intergral audio alarm, and other related features.

For more automated tests add the PPDT-600 Automatic Timing Switch for Procedure B - Automatically Timed Flow Rate-type tests and/or any of the other efficiency-boosting accessory packages for even greater automation.

In all cases the menu-driven user interface of the MP 600 Controller/Timer guides the operator through the test and calculates and displays the test results. And, its serial communications port, which is provided as standard, allows interfacing to a printer for test report generation or to a computer using our Melt Flow for Windows? software.

Regardless of how you configure your system you'll have a state-of-the-art Melt Indexer unsurpassed in performance and reliability.
