Injection Moulding System

The HAAKE MiniJet is a piston injection moulding machine and provides efficient sample preparation for testing mechanical and measuring rheological properties.

A variety of different sample specimen forms is commonly required to perform thorough mechanical testing. These specimens can be produced using an injection moulding machine, cut manually from pressed sample plates, or created manually using some type of specific sample test device. The need to produce various sample forms coupled with the common reality of limited material quantities can often create great difficulty in a product's development.

Process Viscometer - Squeeze Flow

The HAAKE Piezo Axial Vibrator (PAV) Viscometer is a squeeze flow viscometer and will be shown for the first time in Australia at Ausplas. The system can operate up to 200degC for polymer melts either in the extruder (pressure port) or in the die. The rheometer provides continuous information on the viscoelastic properties of the liquid so that the necessary action can be taken to keep the product within specification.

HAAKE PAV Squeeze Flow Viscometer provides continuous information on viscoelastic properties.

Torque Rheometer

The HAAKE PolyLab System consists of the Rheocord Torque Rheometer, which includes all functionality for driving and controlling the measuring sensors. It is the control centre for the external PC as well as the other system components such as the measuring sensors, measuring dies and post extrusion units.

The HAAKE PolyLab System has been designed as a Plug & Play unit. The mobile Rheomix mixer and Rheomex extruder sensors dock onto the base unit. The Rheocord automatically detects the configuration and unit specifications.

Torque Rheometer & Mixer

The HAAKE Poly Lab System used together with the Rheomix sensor produces rheograms that provide production-related information such as: dynamic viscosity depending on the shear load, melt behaviour in the extruder, the influence of additives, and temperature and shear load behaviour.

The Rheomix is suitable for highly viscous substances such as thermoplastics, thermosets and rubbers to name a few.
