Plastometer PL 2000

The Plastometer PL 2000 is available in Single Furnace (PL 2001) or Double Furnace version (PL 2002).

By the Double Furnace version it is possible to reduce the time wasting waiting for the cooling down of the furnace at the end of the test.

While a fluidity test is running in the first furnace, the second furnace can be preheated at the warm up temperature. At the end of the first test, a second test can be immediately started on the other furnace.

The test control is completely devoted to the electronic unit.
Thermal parameters of the test are set by means of a guided set-up procedure; three digital display groups are available to set warm-up temperature (3 digits), temperature rise rate (2 digits) and maximum temperature (3 digits).

A led display group is used to set optional operation set-up. A further four led display group allows system set-up (Diagnostics, Date and Time set, Calibration and Special functions).

During the test two visualisation units show the current temperature (3 digits), and the current fluidity (6 digits). The electronic cage includes a thermal paper printer, 24 characters/line, for status messages and current data printing.

A remote host computer interface (RS232C) is included to allow data logging and/or graphic representation of the results.
The archiving software Plastometer Data Manager (PDM) is available as option providing an user friendly interface to archive and graphical print out the test results.

The internal printer returns the results of the test on thermal paper.

Every minute the current values of Time (minutes from the test start), Temperature (°C) and Fluidity (D.D.P.M.) are printed.

At the end of the test, the Test Report is printed according to the international standard.

The system can be connected to an external computer.

All current test data and end of test report are available on a serial port RS 232 in ASCII format. The software “P.D.M. – Plastometer Data Manager” provides friendly interface and support for asynchronous RS232 communications to external PC.

Acquisition, archiving, printing and export of test data, together with test set up and sample identification is fully provided. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows© environment.

The Loading device (PL 2000-90) can be supplied together with the Plastometer PL 2000. All the consumables (as Crucible, Crucible stirrers, Printer paper etc…) are always available in stock.
