Melt Flow Index Tester (MFI) Overview

Saumya's MFI (Melt Flow Index Tester) is used to determine the flow properties of thermoplastic materials by measuring the rate at which molten polymer flows through a standard die under specified temperature and load conditions. The result, known as the Melt Flow Index (MFI) or Melt Flow Rate (MFR), provides a direct indication of the material’s viscosity and processing behavior.

Our Melt Flow Indexer is designed for accurate and reliable testing of polymers such as PE, PP, PVC, ABS, and other thermoplastics. The instrument operates by heating the sample to a predefined temperature and applying a constant load, allowing the molten material to extrude through a standard die over a specified period.

The system is equipped with precise temperature control, automatic timing, and advanced measurement mechanisms to ensure highly repeatable and consistent results. It is widely used for quality control, material comparison, and process optimization in plastic manufacturing industries.

To meet diverse testing requirements, Saumya’s Melt Flow Indexer is available in multiple models, including MFI-AE, MFI-AC, MFI-AFA, and MFI-S2200, each designed to cater to different levels of automation, accuracy, and testing convenience.
