Premier MDR from Alpha technologies

Moving Die Rheometer (MDR)

The Premier® MDR introduces new technology that delivers data with the highest consistency and long-term stability, compared to all other moving die rheometers. The MDR empowers your lab to:

  • Ensure Batch-to-Batch Consistency: Verify proper ingredient order and amounts to maintain uniformity across production batches.
  • Support Quality Control & Assurance: Act as the industry standard workhorse for QA/QC labs, providing data you can trust for monitoring compound quality.
  • Optimize Processing Conditions: Analyze cure characteristics and reaction kinetics to fine-tune production parameters for optimal performance.
  • Minimize Defects and Downtime: Detect issues early in the process to reduce defects, improve product quality, and prevent costly production delays.

Options that expand the capabilities of your Premier MDR.

 

Rapid Change™ Eccentric

Allows simple and fast oscillation angle changes (0.2, 0.5, 1, and 3 degrees) without calibrating. We beat the competition by over an hour!

 

Easy Automation

Our 3-side open enclosure makes it easy to add multiple automation options to support low to high volume production demands. Our compact, lightweight sample delivery system delivers the most reliable sample transfer system in the industry.

 

Standard Premier Features

Custom Electronics

Custom Electronics that are matched to the instrument. Better control. Better resolution. Other RPAs use off-the-shelf PLCs to save money, but can’t fine-tune their electronics to their instrument – often overshoot set points then spend valuable time stabilizing.

 

Superior Die Cooling

Efficient die cooling that gets your instrument ready for the next test. Why wait 20 minutes for dies to cool down when Premier instruments take about 6 minutes. (And our instruments are smart enough to know when the instrument reaches the right temperature. Others, not so much.)

 

Better Heating Control

Because they are designed specifically for Premier instruments, our heating control system ramps up heating cycles faster and maintains control for more accurate cure times and more efficient production.

 

Always Aligned

More accurate measurements. No loss of signal thanks to Premier’s Smart Alignment and Dynamic Symmetry. On-target, parallel die closing, high stiffness and constant closing force.

 

Cast Aluminum Frame

Work smarter not harder with lighter, cast aluminum frames. Not only are Premier frames light, but incredibly stiff for less variability. What’s more, Premier instruments incorporate frame compliance into the calibration for better data.

 

Touch Screen Easy

Our incredibly intuitive user interface comes to you through a large, bright, touch screen panel that lets you navigate to the view you want or the information you need, fast and easy.

 

This is not our first MDR.

In the beginning… well, actually not that long ago, but still a good while… The Oscillating Disc Rheometer (ODR) was not only the instrument of choice, it was the only choice. And it was limited to about one test. That’s why the engineers and scientists at Alpha Technologies (then known as Monsanto Rubber Chemicals) got to work and changed an industry. They invented the Moving Die Rheometer – the MDR: the workhorse cure meter for rheology testing in rubber and polymer plants worldwide.

Today the Premier® MDR introduces new technology that delivers data with the highest consistency and long-term stability, compared to all other moving die rheometers. Premier MDR delivers reliable, repeatable data, batch after batch meeting ISO 6502 and ASTM D5289 standards and requirements. Repeatability also means your data is consistently reproducible from instrument to instrument and factory to factory, worldwide. Your data doesn’t shift just because your time zone does.

Premier MDR is custom-designed and manufactured to withstand any continuous production environment. In fact, many of our early MDRs are still on the job 20, 30, 40 years later. That’s why Alpha is trusted by more top tier rubber and polymer manufacturers than any other brand.

How to Compare Premier MDR with all the others.

Stiffer seals with low friction to prevent slippage and leakage and ensure no loss of signal. Plus, they last longer.

Oil saturated thrust bearings that last longer without greasing for overall lower maintenance costs.

Standard pressure transducer allows measurement of foam performance to determine if the pressure changes through the measurement. This enables you to optimize your formulation and reduce errors.

Separate touchscreen user interfaces – Workbench for instrument management and Online Manager for data analysis. Our custom electronics give you true multi-tasking. Unlike sluggish PLCs used by others, there’s no waiting for the test to finish before being able to review data.

Torque standards you can trust. Alpha is committed to traceable torque standards that make sure your instrument is accurately calibrated. Others use cheaper torque standards (that they don’t like to hand out) that have an unacceptable margin of error and need fudge factors to make them come out “right.”
