What is a Melt Flow Index Tester?

A Melt Flow Index Tester — also called an MFI Tester, Melt Indexer, or Extrusion Plastometer — is a laboratory instrument used to measure the flow rate of molten thermoplastic resins through a standard orifice under a specified temperature and load. The result, expressed in grams per 10 minutes (g/10 min), is one of the most important quality parameters in the plastic and polymer industry.

Melt Flow Index (MFI) values help manufacturers identify the grade of a polymer, confirm batch-to-batch consistency, check the effect of additives, and validate that incoming raw material matches the supplier specification before it enters production. A reliable MFI tester is therefore essential equipment for every polymer processor, pipe manufacturer, film extruder, recycled-plastic processor and quality testing laboratory.

Applications

  • Plastic Pipe Industry
  • Injection Moulding
  • Film Extrusion
  • Polymer Compounding

Our Range of Melt Flow Index Testers

We manufacture four distinct models of MFI Tester to suit every laboratory need, budget and testing volume:

(KAYJAY/2005/CE) — Basic - Manual, Test Method A

Economical entry-level model with auto-tuned PID controller and manual sample cutting — ideal for small-to-medium polymer labs. This model is suitable for models up to 50 g/10 min MFI.

(KAYJAY/2006/AC) — Auto-Cut & Auto Program, Test Method A

Digital MFI tester with motorised auto cutting of the extrudate and built-in prelogic program for easy operation including preheating time, test time, and auto calculation of MFI.

Computerized Melt Flow Index Tester Method A

Computerized Melt Flow Index Tester (Test Method A)

PC-interfaced model with motorised cutting, auto-weighing, result calculation and software-based storage, averaging and statistical analysis features.

Computerized Melt Flow Index Tester Method A and B

Computerized Melt Flow Index Tester (Test Method A & B)

Top-of-the-range model with auto loading, auto cutting, auto weighing and piston travel measurement for MFR, MVR and melt density in a single test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Test Method A measures Melt Flow Rate (MFR) by cutting the extruded polymer at fixed time intervals and weighing it — best suited for polymers with MFI below 50 g/10 min. Test Method B uses a piston travel linear displacement sensor to calculate Melt Volume Rate (MVR) and Melt Density — required for polymers with high MFI above 50 g/10 min. Our Computerized MFI Tester (Method A & B) supports both methods in a single instrument.
For a small QC lab with low testing volume, our manual KAYJAY/2005/CE model is the most economical choice. For continuous production-line QC, choose the KAYJAY/2006/AC with motorised auto-cutting. For R&D laboratories or labs testing a wide MFI range, the Computerized Method A & B model is the best investment as it measures MFR, MVR and Melt Density together.
All our melt flow index testers operate from ambient temperature up to 400 degree Celsius, with a resolution of 0.1 degree C and accuracy of plus-minus 0.1 degree C, controlled by a microprocessor-based auto-tuned PID controller.
Yes. We provide free online installation as well as on-site operator training at the customer site anywhere in India as per contract and need by customer. Calibration certificates are provided with every machine, and we offer Calibration visit on annual basis covering training and demonstration for long-term support.
Our MFI testers can test all major thermoplastics including HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PVC, PET, ABS, PS, PC, Nylon (PA), POM, PMMA, EVA, TPE, TPU and most engineering plastics — provided their flow temperature stays within the 0 to 400 degree C range of the instrument.
