Safe and convenient quality processing

1. Manual weight selector

Using a manual weight selector can achieve safer and more convenient testing operations. Our solution relies on obtaining Zhuanli's positioning sensors, which can avoid costly errors caused by operators choosing the wrong weights.

2. Weight lifting device

The electric weight lifting device is suitable for automatic and precise quality testing applications. The use of lifting devices reduces the interaction between operators and quality, helping to ensure consistent application of these qualities across different tests and operators.

3. Test weights

Apply a single test weight according to your testing requirements. Our complete set of weights can meet the requirements of all existing testing standards.

4. Safety protective cover

Prevent operators from accidentally entering the equipment testing area to avoid danger and improve the safety of the multi-channel laboratory.

High performance solutions

High flow rate solution

In addition to the standard 325g piston and orifice plug, our zero gravity and lightweight pistons also contribute to the testing of high flow materials. Different rod heads improve stability and enable the equipment to handle materials with Ji high MFR (1600 g/10 min and above).

Melt cutting device

The electric melt cutting device can perform simple and repeatable cutting of extruded materials based on time or position to obtain accurate and reproducible test results.

Detachable mouth mold baffle

The use of a mouth mold baffle system enables quick and convenient cleaning operations. Simply pull the handle once to release the mouth mold and clean the mouth mold and surrounding area, allowing the device to quickly return to testing mode.

Simple and user-friendly interface

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍1. Safe workspace:

The location of the control panel can prevent damage from sample debris and increase the width of the testing area, thereby improving operational safety.

2. Intelligent user interface:

Using our Zhuanli solution, users can quickly and easily create testing methods by entering only three data items. For a safer and error free testing method, user permissions can be configured. Ability to view charts (MFR/MVR and individual measurements) and test results in real-time.

3. Real time assistance

Whether you are an experienced user or a novice operator, you can benefit from real-time assistance. This feature aims to reduce the necessary training for novice operators and avoid costly errors during testing by providing assistance on every screen at all times.

Automatic compaction and driving system

1. Compaction

This unit compresses the tested material with constant pressure to achieve higher levels of accuracy and repeatability.

2. Drive material

The material is extruded until it reaches the conditions for testing to begin

3. Final expulsion

Avoid materials getting stuck in the barrel for easy cleaning operations.
