Polytevo Series Melt Flow Indexer
Product Detail
Polytevo Series Melt Flow Indexer (ACS-5005, ACS-5005A and ACS-5005SA) are melt flow indexers for MFR (mass method) and MVR (volume method), with a test range of 0.1–150 g/10 min (MFR) and 50–5000 cm³/10 min (MVR), 8 load levels and a built-in micro printer.
The ACS-5005 series determines the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of plastics and resins in the viscous flow state at a set temperature and load. The ACS-5005 is the standard configuration with a touch-screen controller; the ACS-5005A is the automatic configuration; the ACS-5005SA adds motorized lifting and lowering of the load weights. They are used in plastic production and plastic products, petrochemical industries, universities, research units and inspection departments.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the three models?
The ACS-5005 is the standard configuration with a color touch-screen controller and independent upper and lower temperature control. The ACS-5005A is the automatic configuration. The ACS-5005SA adds motorized raising and lowering of the load weights with a 7-inch touch screen; weights can still be loaded manually.
Are all three fully automatic?
No. Only the configuration named Automatic (ACS-5005A) is automatic. The ACS-5005 is the standard configuration and the ACS-5005SA is a motorized weight-lifting configuration.
What can it measure?
Melt mass-flow rate (MFR) of 0.1–150 g/10 min and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of 50–5000 cm³/10 min.
What loads are available?
Eight load levels using eight sets of weights from 0.325 kg to 21.6 kg, with a weight accuracy of ±0.5%.
Which models can connect to a computer?
The ACS-5005A and ACS-5005SA reserve an RS232 or USB interface to control the instrument and save test data on a computer.
