New MFI Analyzer offers superior measurements online
Since the end of 2005 Coperion has offered a new system for determine the melt flow index of melts that is superior to conventional rheometers. An innovative measuring device now gives faster and more precise measuring results with the aid of Artificial Neural Net, utilizing available machine sensor technology . The essential difference from conventional rheometers is:
Measuring results can retrieved online without dead times
Reduces off-spec material during transition time for different grades
The process parameters to be adjusted can be predetermined by the system
Significant improvement of the OEE due to a high operational availability and less maintenance or calibration
These are decided advantages that bring in their train a considerably lower sensitivity of the sensors and lower accompanying maintenance costs in addition production processes being put in place perfectly and much quicker during product changes. The new system has already proved itself for several years in practice in numerous tests at polyolefine customers site’s and it`s price its similar to that of a rheometer.
