Dynisco Releases Melt Flow Indexer Featuring New Automatic Sample Cutter

Dynisco LMI5000 Series Auto-cutter is a new option that allows for automated cutting of polymer sample and provides consistent sample cuts one simply cannot achieve by hand.

Benefits include:

• Keep user away from hot barrel when retrieving samples
• Increased repeatability of sample size – user’s reaction time not a factor
• Increased automation – Gives capability of running more than one LMI at a time
• Easy to retrofit in existing machines

The LMI capable of delivering a wide range of data that includes not only melt index values, but also shear stress, shear rate, apparent viscosity, intrinsic viscosity and melt density, as well as testing condition. The addition and improvements of key attributes help some alleviate some of burden of running a melt index test from the technician an improves repeatability of the data.
