Engineering

Engineered for Unwavering Repeatability.

Constructed with a highly rigid four-post frame to eliminate deflection, paired with a precision-sealed cavity that guarantees identical testing conditions from the first cycle to the last.

Direct drive

A direct drive motor applies precise oscillation with Dyna Pro software control, eliminating the need for mechanical spacers or routine re-calibration.

Live cure curve

Elastic torque, viscous torque and tan δ are all drawn live on one graph as the test runs, not reconstructed afterwards.

Rotorless cavity

Optimised thermal recovery. The absence of a rotor ensures dies return to the set temperature significantly faster after loading compared to traditional oscillating disc rheometers.

Sealed under pneumatic load

High-pressure pneumatic seals ensure acute die alignment, firmly securing the cavity on every load to prevent compound extrusion and maintain exact volume.

Isothermal and non-isothermal

Upper and lower dies are controlled separately, so the cavity can hold an isotherm or follow a programmed ramp. Non-isothermal cure needs the cooling option.

Ramp 1 °C/scool 0.5 °C/s

Grooved biconical dies

Cruciform-less dies featuring optimised groove profiles strictly minimise slippage on stiffer stocks, ensuring torque readings reflect pure material properties.

Every cure parameter

ML, MH, MH−ML, scorch time, maximum cure rate and the time it occurs all come off one run, alongside more than a hundred other process parameters.

Beyond the cure curve
When one strain and one frequency stop being enough

The MDR answers how a compound cures. If you also need to know how it processes before cure and how it behaves after — across strain, frequency and temperature, on one specimen — that is the Rubber Process Analyser.
