In our blog posts, we will look at the development of the polymer test equipment setup, including the twin-screw extruder, injection molding machine, MFI tester, and UTM. Such an integration is able to help you develop compounds of polymers, prepare samples, and measure their flow and strength. Learn more about the possibility to acquire polymer test equipment, plastic test equipment, and material testing laboratory equipment in one setup.
The Need for Full Polymer Test Laboratory Setup
The behavior of polymers is dependent not only on the polymer materials themselves but also the conditions under which the compounding and processing take place.
As such, a good polymer test equipment should be one that has test equipment that is capable of testing materials at different stages. By having the combination of processing and testing equipment in place, it becomes possible to prepare materials and test their behavior.
This is a way of minimizing the number of suppliers of material test equipment and creating an efficient laboratory.

Required Testing of Polymer Equipment
The following equipment may be required in the list of polymer testing equipment:
| EQUIPMENTS | USAGES |
| Twin Screw Extruder | Polymer compounding, mixing, reinforcing and pelletizing |
| Bench Top Injection Moulding Machine | Preparation of standardised test specimens |
| Universal Testing Machine (UTM) | Tensile and mechanical testing |
| MFI Tester | Testing of melt flow and quality consistency |
TT-EGL-9S Small Twin Screw Extrusion Granulation Line is an extrusion machine along with granulation and other related process equipment. This twin screw machine can be used for various applications like reactive extrusion, extrusion granulation, and polymer reinforcing.
Testron has the provision of benchtop injection moulding machines which include TT-IMM150, TT-IMM150A, TT-IMM series, etc.
Various types of Testron servoelectric universal material testing machines having capacities of 30 kN, 50 kN, 100 kN, 200 kN, 300 kN, etc., can be used for mechanical testing purposes.
Testtron MFI solutions include TT-MFI06 and TT-MFI 450 series.
One Unified System by Testron Group
Rather than buying single systems of plastic test equipment from various sources, laboratories could buy a combined system from Testron Group.
The process is simple:
Compounding → Pelletizing → Injection Molding → MFI Measurement → Tensile Test
The polymer processing, sample preparation, and testing can all be done in a single laboratory.
The injection molding system turns the selected material into test pieces. The MFI system tests the melt flow properties, whereas the UTM system tests mechanical properties like tensile strength.
This system is especially important for polymer research and development, laboratory education, plastic factories, and quality control departments.

Applications and Advantages to Laboratories
With a full system for polymer testing machines, one can have the following:
- Polymer formulations and compounds
- Plastics and rubber R&D
- Recycled polymer testing
- Polymer reinforcement studies
- Injection molding of specimens
- Testing the melt flow of material
- Tensile testing of the material
- Universities and research laboratories training
- Confirmation of production materials
The main benefit is traceability, as laboratories are able to look at the effect that processing and formulation had on the end product.
Considerations Regarding Polymer Testing Equipment Price
If one is searching for the polymer testing equipment price or cost, or even plastic lab testing equipment, he/she must not focus only on the price of each individual machine. The laboratory has to think about the testing capacity, the standards needed, and other factors that could affect the price of the polymer testing equipment.
Testron Group has the capability to customize polymer testing and processing equipment according to the needs of the laboratory. Thus, customers can request a complete package of polymer testing equipment at a competitive price instead of buying individual equipment.
As the supplier and manufacturer of polymer testing equipment, Testron provides customers with processing and material testing machines.
Conclusion
A contemporary polymer lab requires more than one polymer testing machine. From the processing of the polymer up to the preparation of the sample, measuring melt flow and testing its tensile strength, the use of an equipment package is a more effective way of polymer analysis.
The Testron Group can provide an equipment package that includes a twin screw extruder, bench-top injection molding machine, MFI testing machine and Universal Testing Machine to help labs set up an effective polymer testing process with competitive pricing.
