The mi40 melt index tester is a modular component of the Laboratory Automation Platform, which enables fully automated quality control of the flow properties of plastics.The Automation Platform provides the ability to fully automate melt flow index tester using an industrial robot. Starting from the automatic feeding of the test materials, the feeding of the test barrel, the execution of the measurement and the cleaning of the test barrel, the measurement process of the melt index test is fully automated. This automation solution allows quality control using multiple melt flow index testers (mi40) at the same time with different test materials and different test conditions.
