HAAKE™ Rheomix OS Lab Mixers System

HAAKE™ Rheomix OS Lab Mixers / Internal Mixers
Optimize your material processing with the HAAKE™ Rheomix Lab Mixers, a modular component of the HAAKE™ PolyLab™ OS torque rheometer platform. These lab mixers are designed for batch testing of highly viscous materials, simulating real-world industrial processes on a laboratory or pilot plant scale. Ideal for characterizing polymers, elastomers, additives, and fillers, the Rheomix system helps prevent costly production issues by providing in-depth material analysis.

Precise Material Analysis Through Torque Rheometry:
A typical mixer test involves running material at a defined speed (shear rate) while measuring the resulting torque. The temperature-controlled mixing chamber, with independent heating and cooling zones, allows for precise control. Crucially, the system also records the change in melt temperature caused by frictional heat, providing a comprehensive "Rheogram" (torque and melt temperature vs. time). This unique "fingerprint" is invaluable for quality control, enabling consistent incoming and outgoing product inspections. Analyze melting behavior, energy consumption, and melt viscosity (indicated by torque) to objectively quantify additive type and concentration.
