TORQUE RHEOMETERS

HAAKE™ PolyLab™ QC Modular Torque Rheometer

Ensure consistent quality control with the Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ PolyLab™ QC Modular Torque Rheometer. This versatile system adapts to your needs with interchangeable mixers, single-screw, or conical twin-screw extruders, combining reliable technology with modern hardware and intuitive software.

Available in benchtop and floor models (the latter with an optional mobile rack), the HAAKE PolyLab QC is designed for flexibility. Its backward compatibility allows integration with your existing HAAKE mixers and extruders, automatically recognized by the plug-and-play HAAKE™ PolySoft™ Software. This intelligent software also monitors system limits (torque, speed, temperature), setting alarms to prevent errors.

Key Features & Benefits of PolyLab™ QC System:

• Modular system to adapt existing/new mixers and extruders
• Can be adapted to use existing accessories
• Imports data from previous models for seamless integration
• Powerful drive to host even CTW100 and Mixer 3000
• Small footprint bench or floor model (optional rack)
• CANopen control communication for temperature and motor controller
• CANopen data communication for pressure and remote signals
• USB interface to connect to a host computer (LAN option available)

HAAKE™ PolyLab™ OS system

The Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE PolyLab OS is a cutting-edge mixer and extruder system tailored for research and development, providing key material data such as melting behavior, additive influence, temperature and shear stability, and melt viscosity. It facilitates process modeling through:

• Compounding polymers with additives to modify properties like flammability and viscosity.
• Scaling up extrusion processes using varying L/D ratios to predict production line performance.
• Simulating processes with minimal material (as little as 50g) to optimize temperature and shear profiles for mixing and extrusion.
• Extruding strands, profiles, and films, combined with rheological and optical measurements.

These capabilities enable process optimization, test specimen creation, and quality control based on viscosity, dispersion, and plasticizing behavior. The system's drive unit includes a precise speed controller and accurate torque sensor for precise material processing.

Key Features & Benefits of PolyLab™ OS System:

• Modularity: Open industry standard architecture allows flexible connection of various sensors and systems.
• Ease of Operation: Quick and simple attachment changes without software modifications.
• Remote Control: Enables remote system operation and test observation.
• Service & Reliability: Remote diagnostics and pre-calibrated replacement components minimize downtime.
• Return on Investment (ROI): Time-saving operation and relevant results improve product quality and reduce development time.
• Compatibility: Accommodates lab mixers and single/twin-screw (conical and parallel) extruders for comprehensive data acquisition.
