Read MorePremier MV – Mooney Viscometer
It’s Mooney and more! Do you really need a viscometer this good? Yes, you do.
Everybody’s got one.
When Melvin Mooney created the viscometer, little did he know his calculations and the instrument that bears his name would become ubiquitous in the rubber and polymer world. But, we do think he would approve of the design and engineering improvements Alpha Technologies has made since then, in developing our Premier® MV.
With an all-new compact design, the Premier MV is a cost-effective way to perform three critical rubber and polymer tests:
- Mooney Viscosity
- Mooney Stress Relaxation
- Mooney Scorch
- Delta Mooney
The enhancements and improved functionality of Premier MV mean one thing for companies who need to add a full-feature viscometer to their line-up – Premier MV gives you more bank for the buck.
Yes, if you only need one Mooney test to validate your material, you could get by with a cheaper instrument. You would also be getting by with more variability, less reliability and slower testing cycles. So I think the cost/benefit ratio is clearly in favor of Premier MV.”
~ Jessica Gialamas, Alpha Technologies Application Engineer
How to Compare Premier MV with all the others.
Superior Die Cooling and Temperature Stability – Thanks to low mass dies and proprietary digital temperature control, Premier MV delivers excellent temperature stability and a 45% reduction in die cooling time compared to previous models. Does your viscometer do that?
Multi-Speed Measurement – Controls for multiple shear rates to establish power law curve and other shear-viscosity plots.
Rotor Alignment Detection – Prevents inadvertent damage to the rotor and shaft by closing on an out-of-alignment rotor, and reduces time and cost required for replacing rotor and shaft.
Automatic Dead Weight Calibration – Allows calibration of instrument in a matter of seconds.
Advanced Validation Procedures – Provides assurance that you are meeting the setpoints specified by ASTM.
Standard multi-zone stress relaxation and variable speed digital motor – essential in obtaining advanced processing information such as identifying thixotropic materials.
Optional Long-Life O-Ring – keeps your instrument on the job long by reducing frequent cleaning and calibration.
标准主要功能
更快. 更好的控制. 更好的分辨率.
与仪器匹配的定制电子设备。 更好的控制。更好的分辨率。其他 RPA 使用现成的可编程逻辑控制器 (PLC) 来节省资金，但无法根据仪器微调其电子设备 – 通常会超出设定点，然后花费宝贵的时间来稳定。
优质的模具冷却
高效的模具冷却使您的仪器为下一次测试做好准备。 为什么模具冷却需要等待 20 分钟，而 Premier 仪器大约需要 6 分钟。（我们的仪器足够智能，可以知道仪器何时达到正确的温度。其他仪器则不然。）
定制设计的加热控制系统.
因为它们是专门为 Premier 仪器设计的， 所以我们的加热控制系统可以更快地提高加热周期，并保持对更精确的固化时间和更高效生产的控制。
动态对称和智能对齐
更精确的测量。 得益于 Premier 的智能对齐和动态对称，不会有信号损失。准靶、平行合模、高刚度和恒定的合模力。
铸铝框架
使用更轻的铸铝框架，让您可以更聪明地工作，而不是更辛苦地工作。 Premier 框架不仅重量轻，而且非常坚固，不易变形。此外，Premier 仪器将框架合规性纳入校准中，以获得更好的数据。
便捷触摸屏
我们通过一个大而明亮的触摸屏为您提供极其直观的用户界面，让您可以快速轻松地导航到您想要的视图或您需要的信息。
收纳抽屉
好吧……这是一桩小事。但是质量保证 (QA) 和研发 (R&D) 技术人员喜欢有办法保持工作空间整洁。
Applications
Mooney Viscosity
Mooney Stress Relaxation
Mooney Scorch
Mooney Viscosity
The most commonly used test method for characterizing uncured rubber and polymer materials.
Mooney Stress Relaxation
Measure elastic material behavior by observing the torque decay after the rotor stops, providing important correlations between polymer branching and processing.
Mooney Scorch
Determine the starting of the curing of rubber compounds. Gain crucial data to aid in decision making around production processes.
