PREMIER™ MDR
Moving Die Rheometer
The MDR that’s driving the next generation of testing – delivering data with the highest consistency and long-term stability of all moving die rheometers.
The Premier™ MDR is built for optimum performance in both laboratory and production environments. Its streamlined design includes:
• an LED back-lit logo for test status indication,
• a wrap-around front cover and shield for ease of use and access,
• a touch-screen user interface,
• and a built-in storage drawer.
Features
• Dynamic Symmetry™
• Smart Alignment™
o A system that ensures dies remain parallel to reduce variation.
o A system that ensures excellent die cavity sealing for better repeatability.
With unsurpassed test repeatability and reproducibility, the Premier™ MDR provides a smaller instrument footprint for effective use of bench space.
The Premier™ MDR features improved forced air die cooling with independent control to the upper and lower dies, providing rapid temperature changes for better non-isothermal control.
The biconical cruciform-less dies with optimized groove profiles offer reduced slippage and improve performance with stiffer stocks.
A uniquely designed heater provides reduced temperature gradients and improved temperature recovery, while transducers provide both torque and pressure measurements.
