HAAKE™ PolyLab™ OS Modular Torque Rheometer

The Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE PolyLab OS is a state-of-the-art measuring mixer and extruder system that is focused on the specific needs in research and development. The HAAKE PolyLab OS provides you with process-relevant material data including: Melting behavior, influence of additives, temperature stability, shear stability and melt viscosity. Furthermore, this measuring mixer and extruder system supports you in process modelling activities such as: Compounding polymers with additives to reduce flammability, viscosity, etc., scale-up extrusion processes by using different L/D ratios to extrapolate to your master process line, simulating master processes using only as little as 50g of material to optimize extrusion or mixing in respect to temperature and shear profile or extrusion of strands, profiles or films in combination with rheological or optical measurements.

Consequently, you can optimize your process parameters, create test specimens or perform quality control on incoming and outgoing goods with regard to viscosity, dispersion or plasticizing behavior. The drive unit of the HAAKE PolyLab OS system comprises all elements of a torque rheometer that are needed to drive the measuring system (precise speed controller) and to monitor the torque (accurate torque sensor) needed to process the test material.
