MV 3000
Mooney Viscometer
The Mooney Viscometer built for intensive rubber production testing.
In a rubber mixing or heavy production settings, Mooney Viscometers need to withstand their environment, and user influence – for the long haul. The MV 3000 takes traditional Mooney technology to the next level by placing user ergonomics, the latest in industrial components, frame upgrades and software connectivity forward. With a 270° working area, achieving Mooney Viscosity, Mooney Scorch, and Stress Relaxations has never been easier.
Motor Matters
All MonTech Mooney Viscometers come with a brushless, speed controlled, and closed loop DC motor with gearhead. The advanced motor-style creates an unmatched improvement in reliability and creates a lower signal to noise ratio. In turn, the user will see greater data repeatability, an elimination of stepper ripples, and a smoother Mooney curve for the lifetime of the instrument.
- Standard Speed: 2 RPM
- Optional Variable Rotor Speed: 0.5 – 10 RPM
- Optional Variable Rotor Speed: 0.01 – 20 RPM
Industrial Electronics That Endure. Controls That Deliver.
The leaders in rubber product manufacturing demand the highest standard in industrial electronics. The MV 3000’s PLC controls all functions in the instrument, from operation to data recording. Designed by one of the top three European producers of industrial PLCs, the MDR’s PLC is considered an industrial standard across high-tech industries and advanced automation applications. It’s fully digital with no analogue signal processing. If something goes wrong, its modular design enables quick replacements if necessary and is available for remote diagnostics.
Frames Engineered
for Accuracy
The MV 3000’s frame plays a critical role in the long-term accuracy and stability of the data. The Mooney Viscometer 3000 series frame is built from high-strength aerospace grade aluminum and stainless steel. This includes an 80 mm thick baseplate and 20mm thick side panels. For ultimate parallelism we’ve included 50mm pull rods and an 80 mm crosshead. Together, this results in a superior frame stiffness improving repeatability, correlation, reduces damping challenges in high-frequency tests, all the while reducing the signal-to-noise ratio.
Fan-less Design: The frame’s design mitigates any form of potential heat build-up in the electronics cabinet. With no need for fans, and the frame’s sealed housing, carbon black contaminated electronic failures are a challenge of the past.
