- Automated, motor-driven cutter with 0.01-second cutting accuracy and adjustable timing, plus a 5-micron distance sensor and automatic weight-loading module
- Automatic weight loader
- Touch-screen operation with automated MFI/MVR calculation, statistical result evaluation, and USB data export through Alarge's own reporting software
- Modular design — convertible with the AL-MFI-A and AL-MFI-AB configurations in the same product line
About the AL-MFI-ABA Automatic Melt Flow Indexer
The AL-MFI-ABA from Alarge, Turkey, performs all three melt-flow test methods — MFI, MFR and MVR — to ASTM D1238 and TS EN ISO 1133, with the full standard load range of the AL MFI line from 0.325 kg up to 21.6 kg. Dual-zone adaptive PID heating gives independent temperature control in both compartments across 120–450 °C at ±0.1 °C accuracy.
A titanium-coated tungsten carbide orifice and melting channel (precision orifice 2.095 ± 0.005 mm in diameter and 8 mm ± 0.025 mm long) give long service life and repeatable results. An automated, motor-driven cutter with 0.01-second cutting accuracy and adjustable timing is combined with a 5-micron distance sensor and an automatic weight loader. Touch-screen operation provides automated MFI/MVR calculation, statistical result evaluation and USB data export through Alarge’s own reporting software.
