Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The melt index tester is a key equipment for measuring the melt flowability of plastics, playing an important role in plastic production and quality detection. The melt index is a main parameter for evaluating the flow performance of thermoplastic plastics, directly affecting the processing technology of plastics and the quality of final products. Therefore, the melt index tester is widely used in plastic production enterprises, scientific research institutions and quality inspection departments to ensure the stability and controllability of plastic materials in subsequent processing. The equipment is usually composed of a heating system, an extrusion mechanism, a measuring device, etc. By heating the plastic sample to a certain temperature and extruding the molten plastic under a specified load, the flow rate per unit time is measured.

The device usually has a piston rod or a push rod to control the extrusion rate of the molten plastic, thus calculating the melt index value. In addition, some devices are equipped with an automatic feeding system and precise temperature control device to improve the stability of the test and the accuracy of the data. After the test is completed, the residual molten plastic in the heating tank needs to be cleaned manually or with auxiliary tools to prevent the residual material from affecting subsequent tests.
