The IKON Melt Flow Index Tester is designed to determine the melt flow index (MFI) of plastic materials, providing accurate measurement of flow properties under controlled temperature and load conditions.

The system consists of a heated extruder tube, an interchangeable die (jet) through which the molten material is extruded, and a piston with dead weights to apply the specified load on the material. The extruder tube is manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and is heated by a band heater surrounding its outer surface. Temperature is precisely monitored and controlled using a PID controller.

The heater is insulated with mineral wool to ensure thermal efficiency. The assembly is mounted on a rigid stand for stability during operation. The lower portion of the extruder tube is insulated with PTFE to prevent the extrudate from sticking. The die is made of hardened and ground tool steel for durability and precision.

A silver steel piston, relieved at the upper end, moves smoothly within the tube cavity to push the molten material through the die. A guiding sleeve ensures proper piston alignment. The piston top includes a thermally insulated platform for placing calibrated weights.

The extruder assembly is mounted on a sturdy metal housing with a side-mounted sheet metal control panel that contains the PID controller, digital preset timer, and other electronic components.

The equipment is supplied complete with cleaning tools for the tube and dies, stoppers, and an extrudate cutter for convenient operation and maintenance.

The Muffle Furnace is a high-performance laboratory heating unit designed for applications such as ashing, heat treatment, sintering, and material testing. Built with a durable mild steel exterior and a ceramic muffle inner chamber, it ensures uniform heat distribution and efficient thermal insulation. Equipped with a PID temperature controller with dual display and auto-tuning, the furnace provides precise temperature control and safe operation, making it suitable for laboratories, research centers, and industrial testing environments.

Dyeing is a critical process in textile manufacturing, where precise control of temperature and time is essential to ensure proper fixation of dye molecules onto fabric. The Open Dyeing Bath (Water Bath) is specially designed for sample dyeing of fabrics and yarns, particularly those made from natural fibres.

This equipment is widely used by textile manufacturers for laboratory sampling due to its cost-effectiveness, operational simplicity, and ability to deliver quick and reliable results.

The Ikon Digital Single Column Peel Strength Tester is designed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of a wide range of materials, including polymers, plastic films, laminates, adhesives, adhesive tapes, bandages, textiles, paper, protective films, leather, rubber, and paper fibers.

This versatile testing equipment performs tensile, peel, tear, heat seal, and adhesion strength tests with high precision. It is equipped with an imported motor and gearbox system along with a high-accuracy load cell to ensure reliable and repeatable test results.

The Scuff Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of printed or coated surfaces to rubbing. It operates by rubbing two printed surfaces against each other (face-to-face) in the same plane at a constant speed of 60 RPM under uniform pressure. This test simulates real-life handling and transportation conditions to assess colour transfer, ink abrasion, and surface scuffing in paper and packaging materials.

During testing, the sample is secured to the base of the tester with the printed side facing upward. A 2 psi test weight is applied, positioning the printed surfaces face-to-face. (Customer-specified materials may be used in place of standard samples where required.) The machine is preset to the desired number of cycles—typically 100—and operated according to customer specifications. After completion of the set cycles, the samples are examined for ink transfer, surface damage, or scuff marks.

The Digital Portable Tablet Hardness Tester (Model: PTHT-500) is a compact and advanced instrument designed to measure the breaking or fracturing strength of tablets ranging from 2 mm to 28 mm in diameter. Its portable and battery-operated design makes it ideal for in-process testing across multiple tablet press machines.

The PTHT-500 measures compressive force at intervals of one hundredth of a second, delivering highly accurate results with ±0.5% of full-scale accuracy. The instrument captures and displays the peak force required to fracture the tablet, ensuring reliable quality control.

This tester is widely used in industries such as pharmaceutical, food processing, detergents, dairy, animal feed, pesticides, and other sectors where compressed tablets are manufactured.
