Rotor is the core component of torque rheometer test. There are many types of rotor, mainly introduced below five common rotors and their applicable materials.
1. The Roller rotor
Suitable for the mixing of thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, it can test the viscosity, crosslinking reaction and shear / thermal stress of materials.
2. The Cam rotor
Mix and test thermoplastics and rubber in the medium shear range.
3. The Banbury rotor
For mixing and testing of natural rubber, synthetic rubber and mixing rubber.
4. The Sigma rotor
Mix the powder within the low shear range to test the mixing performance.
5.Delta rotor
Mix of thermosetting materials is crosslinked using a Type 540 cone compact chamber.
