Polytevo Series Filter Pressure Value Tester
Product Detail
Polytevo Series Filter Pressure Value Tester (ACS-7008FPV) is a filter pressure value (FPV) tester that combines a 20 mm single-screw extruder, a gear-type melt pump, a screen pack assembly and melt temperature and pressure sensors, designed with reference to EN 13900-5:2005 for filter pressure value testing to quantify the dispersion quality of pigments and fillers in polyolefin and other thermoplastic compounds.
The ACS-7008FPV plasticizes the test material in the single-screw extruder, and the melt pump forces it at a constant flow rate through a standard fine screen pack. Sensors record the melt pressure before and after the screen as a function of throughput (or time), and the system calculates the filter pressure value (FPV, in bar/g) with reference to EN 13900-5. A higher FPV indicates a greater content of undispersed pigment/filler particles or contaminants, i.e. poorer dispersion. Temperature control, pressure closed-loop control, data acquisition, pressure curves and reports run automatically under the PLC system.

Frequently asked questions
What does the ACS-7008FPV measure?
It quantifies the dispersion quality of pigments and fillers in polyolefin and other thermoplastic compounds by calculating the filter pressure value (FPV, in bar/g) with reference to EN 13900-5. A higher FPV indicates a greater content of undispersed pigment/filler particles or contaminants, i.e. poorer dispersion.
How does the test work?
The material is plasticized by the single-screw extruder and forced by the melt pump at a constant flow rate through a standard fine screen pack. Sensors record the melt pressure before and after the screen as a function of throughput (or time).
What temperature range is published?
Up to 360°C (RT to 360°C), with seven independent SSR temperature-control zones.
Which pressure sensors are fitted?
Two melt pressure transducers: P1 with a 100 bar range and P2 with a 350 bar range.
How are the results recorded?
Test data are recorded throughout the test; the system displays temperature, pressure, speed and flow curves in real time, and test data can be exported via USB with automatically generated analysis charts and reports.
What power supply does it need?
AC 380 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz, 8200 W.
