Premier MDR DUO – Moving Die Rheometer
Premier MDR Duo - Moving Die Rheometer
One MDR handles one sample at a time. That pace sets the limit for your whole lab. When cure testing backs up, batch releases are delayed and no one is happy. Expanding capacity used to mean buying a second instrument, giving up bench space, and spending double the capital. Not anymore.
The patent pending Premier MDR DUO features dual dies in a single instrument. You double throughput without doubling your space – or your investment. Your challenge, answered.
Not Your Ordinary Rheometer
- Increase Throughput: Double testing the capacity with dual-die setup, reducing lead times and enhancing productivity
- Reduce Cost: Lower capital cost by combining two testing units into one device
- Reduce Bench Space: Compact patent-pending design minimizes bench space usage, optimizing laboratory layout
- Reduce Complexity: Reduced maintenance and operational complexity with a single device
The MDR DUO – More of What You Want, Less Of What You Don’t
We know there’s a lot riding on your testing. That’s why our MDR DUO is built on the exact same platform as our industry leading MDR. Benefits like speed, precision, and reliability are a must. But when you’re looking for a solution that increases capacity without buying a second machine or giving up valuable bench space, the DUO is your answer.
