Announcement of New Product Release: Instron 'MFi Series'

Developed a new melt flow index testing machine! Responding to various testing needs of our customers.

The "MFi Series" is a melt flow testing machine that offers flexibility suitable for testing needs, with a temperature range of up to 450°C and a piston displacement accuracy of at least 0.02mm. It is equipped with an easy-to-use cleaning system, automatic material compression, and purging (MFi7 optional specification). This maximizes the productivity of the testing laboratory while minimizing costly errors. The lineup includes the "MFi5," which enables rapid evaluation of plastic melt mass flow rates, and the "MFi7," designed for high-volume testing. The touch panel integrated into the main unit allows for easy condition setting in three steps. 【Features】 ■ Safe and efficient operation of weights ■ Melt cutter: Reproducibility of cutting time within 0.01 seconds ■ Removable die retainer: Allows for quick and easy cleaning ■ Smart design: Quickly and easily create test methods with just three inputs ■ Live help: Avoid costly errors during testing ■ 100g lightweight piston (optional): Prevents outflow during preheating of high MFR materials (35g/10min or more) ■ Automatic die plug release mechanism (optional): Testing begins at the precise timing after preheating.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
