The AbsorptoMeter is a torque rheometer consisting of the following main components

• Frequency converter drive with torque measurement
• Optimised, flexible, interchangeable measuring kneaders for different applications
• High precision burette with variably programmable titration rate for optimum test performance
• Large display for overview of process parameters
• Easy to use Windows software

Torque is measured and recorded throughout the special mixing process. The oil is continuously added to the powder in the measuring mixer using an automatic precision dosing pump. The liquid is absorbed into the structure of the sample material. This leads to agglomeration until saturation occurs. As a result, the torque required for the kneading process increases and eventually reaches a maximum. The oil absorption number is given in ml (absorbed oil) per 100 g of the sample material in accordance with the relevant standards.

Different mixer geometries are available for different applications and can be easily mounted on the drive unit.
