The melt flow indexer is related to the melted material viscosity. It allows the operator to make an estimation of the mean molecular weight, at the same time giving an indication of melt “flow ability” through a die.
The Melt index is defined as the weight or the volume of melted material flowing through a calibrated die, under the effect of a pre-determined force, at constant temperature and for the total time of 10 minutes.

Falcon has submitted its latest proposal application directly to Brussels under Horizon 2020 Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) programme in a consortium with Nemak Wernigerode GmbH and SST Sensing Ltd. The GasStream is a technology based on gas flow, which is constantly monitoring the interoperability of each product’s hidden channels from the production line, in a cost-effective way, not holding up the production. This allows to filter more effectively the partially or completely blocked channels in the molded parts (eg. cooling systems, cylinder heads, engine blocks).
