The moving die rheometer MDR 3000 is an advanced instrument for measuring the viscoelastic properties of polymers and elastomeric compounds before, during and after cure. The acquired data gives advanced information about processability, cure characteristics, cure speed, as well as the behavior of the compound after-cure at fixed, user selectable strain rates.

The instrument comes in the unique MonTech Series 3000 loadframe – industrial proof, fanless and ultra-rugged even for toughest production environments.

The reaction torque is measured by a high resolution, digital strain gauge assembly with integrated temperature compensation, making the MDR 3000 the most accurate and precise Moving Die Rheometer for static testing. Optionally, the instrument can be equipped with a combined torque / normal force sensor to assess blowing or sponging reactions of the tested material. For increased productivity and throughput, various types of highly reliable automation systems are also available.

The MDR 3000 can easily be upgraded at a later stage to an MDR 3000 Professional to not only be able to run static but also dynamic test sequences.
