ART-MFI20
The ARTEMIS ART-MFI20: Precision Melt Flow Analysis
ARTEMIS is proud to introduce the ART-MFI20, a high-performance Melt Flow Indexer engineered for the rigorous quality control requirements of the polymer industry. Melt Flow Index (MFI) remains a critical parameter for material validation, measuring the mass flow rate (g/10min) of molten polymers under controlled temperature and pressure through a precision orifice.
The ART-MFI20 combines robust mechanical engineering with a sophisticated 7” touchscreen interface and a dedicated microprocessor, ensuring full compliance with Method A of leading international test standards.
Advanced Functional Features
-
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.
-
Digital Integration: The ART-MFI20 features the LABLogic+ software platform, allowing for seamless data transfer, storage, and comprehensive analysis.
-
Quality Assurance Tools: Users can input high/low tolerance thresholds for internal QA/QC monitoring and recall stored test parameters for rapid, error-free setup.
Standard Configuration & Maintenance
The ART-MFI20 is supplied as a comprehensive "out-of-the-box" solution, including:
-
Standard Tooling: Discharge piston, precision test die, and a 2.16kg test load.
-
Professional Cleaning Kit: Includes a cleaning rod, die tool, wire brush, and specialized cleaning cloths to maintain instrument integrity.
-
Validation Tools: A Go/No-Go gauge for die orifice verification and a graduated filling cylinder.
Specialized Options
For more demanding applications, we offer:
-
Pneumatic Weight Loading: For enhanced operator ergonomics and safety.
