Mixer Torque Rheometer 3
The Caleva Mixer Torque Rheometer provides a quick and easy way to quantitatively measure a wet mass in terms of the torque produced when shearing the wet mass within a mixing bowl.
The MTR has applications for research, formulation/process development and process scale up studies. The MTR is also a useful apparatus for off-line monitoring of production excipient screening and quality control.
The Caleva MTR is designed to provide a robust practical rheometer suited to both laboratory and production/quality control environments. The instrument is rapid in use, simple to operate and generates accurate, reproducible results providing an objective, efficient and precise quantitative description of the wet mass.
In Short, the instrument has potential wherever wet masses are used and particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, food processing and baking, cosmetics, pesticide, and agricultural and chemical industries.
VIDEO:
- Dramatically increase the speed at which formulations can be developed and tested.
- Optimize formulations to compensate for batch variations between excipients.
- Produce quantitative data that can be used in a structured scaleup program for process development.
- Routinely batch test a batch for consistency in a few minutes.
- Quantify the relationship between formulations with different binders and mixing times.
- Perform quantitative measurements on your formulation.
- Perform mix comparison studies on your formulations.
- Study the rheological properties on small samples before commiting to large batch sizes.
- Small sample size 15-30 grams. Especially useful if the material is very expensive or potent.
- Rapid results.
- Rapid data acquisition and manipulation using LabView® software.
- Easy-to-clean demountable bowl and blade assembly.
- Data can be exported to a database or spreadsheet program.
