  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The MP 1200 Melt Flow Indexer from The AME Technology is engineered to deliver highly accurate and repeatable melt flow rate measurements for thermoplastic polymers. Melt flow index (MFI) testing plays a crucial role in evaluating polymer viscosity and flow characteristics, which directly influence processing behavior, mechanical performance, and final product quality.

Operating at temperatures up to 410°C, the MP 1200 uses a precision three-zone PID temperature control system and platinum RTD sensors to maintain exceptional thermal stability. This ensures consistent test conditions across a wide range of polymer materials. The instrument supports compliance with major international standards including ASTM, ISO, DIN, and JIS, making it suitable for global manufacturing environments.

Advanced timing resolution, high-accuracy displacement measurement, and optional motorized weight support enhance test repeatability and operator convenience. The large touchscreen interface simplifies data entry, result monitoring, and system control. Designed for durability and accuracy, the MP 1200 is ideal for quality control laboratories, R&D facilities, and production environments where precise polymer flow characterization is essential for optimizing processes and achieving consistent packaging performance.
