The Ultimate Rubber Process Analyser. This rubber tester is designed for measuring the viscoelastic properties of polymers and elastomeric compounds before, during and after cure.
The D-RPA 3000 fulfils the complete range of all test requirements; Polymers, raw materials, basic, finished and cured compounds can all be characterised. Besides the cure properties, cure characteristics and processability can all be determined and evaluated.
The D-RPA 3000 is the state-of-the-art machine for dynamic testing purposes. The machine can be fitted with several unique options such as variable die gap, low-temperature cooling, and high speed data acquisition – providing the highest frequency-strain combination available on the market.
The D-RPA 3000 rubber analyser allows the user to program and execute arbitrary test sequences with the MonControl Analyses Software.
Each dynamic test sequence can include an unlimited number of the following substeps: timed tests, isothermal tests, non-isothermal tests, amplitude sweeps, frequency sweeps, temperature sweeps, shear rate sweeps, relaxations, retardations, hysteresis and tension tests. Any combination is possible – with or without an initial strain, as well as strain or stress controlled.
Equipped with single test – multi sub-test test procedure programming with up to 1000 sub-programs as well as an unbeaten shear rate range of up to 100 sec-1 – the D-RPA 3000 is a flexible and dynamic multi function Rheometer.
Completely closed, directly heated, biconical test chamber system entirely made of high-strength stainless steel, precision ground and hardened, significantly reducing sample slippage for highest dynamic test ranges and most accurate torque, modulus and viscosity readings.
MonTech Moving Die Rheometers and Rubber Process Analysers can be easily automated, allowing customers to increase productivity and release operators for other important tasks. Depending on the selected type of automation system, samples are loaded and unloaded automatically from linear or rotary trays, film is fed and tested samples are removed automatically.
