Modular torque rheometer for polymer testing
In the field of polymer processing, it’s essential to accurately determine the processability and material characteristics of various plastics and plastifiable substances. Specific challenges like understanding material behavior under different stresses and temperatures require precise and adaptable testing solutions.
Tailor your testing with modular drive units
The Brabender MetaStation, from Anton Paar, is a modular torque rheometer designed to test the processability of plastics and other rheologically complex materials. Featuring compact, scalable drive units (4, 8, and 16 kW), it offers precise torque and speed control ranging from 0.2 to 400 min-1. The MetaStation can handle a wide range of applications, including batch-wise and continuous processes, thanks to its compatibility with various mixer and extruder attachments. It incorporates MetaBridge software, enabling seamless data collection and analysis, and supports compliance with key ASTM standards. With the capability to switch between mixer modules in under 15 minutes, this system significantly reduces downtime and cleaning effort. Key features include integrated temperature control, robust safety mechanisms, and advanced data connectivity options.
