Ray-Ran - 6MPCA Advanced Melt Flow System

The 6MPCA is the most advanced model offered within the Ray-Ran Range of Melt Flow Indexers. The operating procedure is very simple to undertake using its on board advanced microprocessor technology. The large liquid crystal display (LCD) provides simple on screen instructions reducing user error and the test parameters are easily entered via the alpha numeric membrane keypad. The apparatus can accurately determine results for MFR, MVR and Density at test temperature.

The 6MPCA Melt Flow System is supplied as standard with a replaceable hardened steel cylinder liner, standard test die and piston along with 2.16 kg test load and cleaning ancillaries. The apparatus has dual Zone heating technology to keep the maximum allowable temperature variation along the length of the cylinder liner in accordance with the International test standard ISO1133

Optional weights can be supplied to cover all testing parameters to International Test standards and for the heavier weights the optional weight loader can fitted to the apparatus for ease in loading the piston. The weight loader can also be used as a hold back feature for materials which have a high flow rate.

All documentation is supplied including the Techni-Test software on CD, a product user manual and a fully traceable calibration certificate.
