The At-Line rheometer ALR allows continuous rheological measurement of powder, flake and granular polymer for monitoring of polymerisation process. For this purpose the rheometer is directly installed on a small extruder acting as melt feeder. The measuring head receives the melt based upon either constant pressure or screw speed. Measuring criteria are MFR/MVR with single or multi-point measurements and the FFR, the ratio of two MFR values. Viscosity functions can be measured as well.
