ViscoIndicator
Specifically designed for the thermoplastics resin industry. The ViscoIndicator duplicates the test conditions of a laboratory Melt Flow Rate (MFR) tester or capillary rheometer. Melt viscosity measurements such as melt flow rate and Intrinsic viscosity are primary specifications of thermoplastic resins.
Dont forget- our ViscoIndicator is IoT enabled. The IoT native software of the ViscoIndicator allows for real-time access to your testing information.With the Dynisco Cloud Connect Subscription, you get comprehensive access of rheological data, correlations, and dashboards. This interface allows for a complete “Window into the Process” providing valuable insight to your polymer process.
- Based on the proven technology of our successful ViscoSensor and CMR IV series
- 1/2 -20 Mounting Port that is compatible with the standard pressure port on extruders
- User Interface based on Windows™ 10 IoT allowing users to leverage familiar Microsoft services
- Provides continuous indication of both Melt Flow Rate, Apparent and/or Intrinsic viscosity
- Variety of heated material transfer line options available that enable rheological head to mount into tight spaces
- One cable power cord and simple cable bundle with robust connectors for quick interconnection between RSU, RCU, and HMI — ideal for self installation
- Material is not returned to process stream
- Comes standard with Dynisco Vertex™ Mercury Free Pressure transducer for high accuracy
- Small footprint for easy set-up and integration into existing and/or new machinery
- Quick changing of capillaries

Importance of How Online Rheometers Accurately Indicate Melt Flow Rate in an Extruder
The present work aims to describe the design of the on-line rheometer and how it can be easily connected to the extruders using existing ports and flexible adapters. It also has been explained how the proposed on-line rheometer can duplicate the test conditions of an off-line melt flow rate tester on an extruder in any compounding or manufacturing process. Furthermore, through calculation of activation energy in a specific material and introducing a temperature correlation, it has been investigated how the on-line rheometer considers the temperature dependency of material`s MFR and accurately measures this parameter at various operating temperatures.

Tech Notes
Detecting Polymers in Material Products
It can be very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve complete indentification of most polymer products. However, in most cases, this is usually not needed; what is needed is the separation, or identification, of numerous molding materials whose identity has been lost, or an indication of the type of material used to create a component.
Melt Processing of Thermoplastics for Extrusion and Injection Molding
Extrusion and injection molding are the most important conversion techniques used by the thermoplastics processing industry, Certain factors need to be considered before a thermoplastics material is processed, regardless of whether it is injection molding or extrusion molding that is used.
