<strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong><strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620Process Control RheometerThe <strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>HAAKE</strong>PCR 620 is a twin-pump bypassrheometer that provides onlinerheological measurements ofmelt index and viscosity inpolymer processing. With morethan 200 installations around theworld, the <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR helps toimprove our customers’ productquality.Product SpecificationsApplications:• Online melt index measurement• Online viscosity measurementMaterials:• Polypropylene (PP)• Polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE/LLDPE)• Polyester (PET)• Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)• Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)• Polystyrene (PS)• Polyamide / Nylon (PA)• Polycarbonate (PC)ApplicationsThe <strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620(Process Control Rheometer) measuresthe melt index at standard ASTM loads orat higher loads (with back-calculation tostandard load) in order to reduce lag time.The slit die pressure-control feature allowsthe <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 to operate at pressuresabove the process pressure, therebyensuring operation in the linear region ofthe transducers and preventing out-gassing.This also allows the <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 tocover a wide melt index range and followtransitions with a single die eliminatingcostly and troublesome die changes commonto other systems. The <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 canoperate in a variety of modes: melt indexmode, transition melt index mode, purgemode, viscosity mode (stress or rate control)and combinations of those.The <strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620can also report a synthesized Mooneyor Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) value – amathematical calculation from measuredshear viscosity data. For ease of operation,recipes consisting of operating parametersand control values can be stored for variousproduct grades. The <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 logsall data and events in a database for trendanalysis, SPC reporting and data storage.
Product SpecificationsThe <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620’s “return to stream”design is available with a valve block forprocess isolation and an optical block toallow online spectroscopic analysis (offeredas options, additional equipment required).All melt pumps and slit dies are easilyex changeable to adapt the rheometer tospecific processes.Control FeaturesThe <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 electronics, basedon the SLC-500 ® PLC from RockwellInternational (Allen-Bradley), providessuperior support and inte gration usingindustry standard components andtechnologies. New software featuresprovide capabilities never before available.The process supervisor for Microsoft ®Windows ® software offers unmatchedease-of-use and an operator friendly design.The software, based on RSView ® 32 , isde sig ned for integration into plant DCSsystems. It offers data communication witha variety of protocols like, Data Highwayplus ® , ModBus ® and the latest innovationin process control, OPC (OLE for ProcessControl). Standard analog signals (4-20 mAor 24 VDC) are also available.Installation & MaintenanceInstallation expertise exists for adaptation toextruders from all the major manufacturers.The <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 is typically installed onfinishing and compoun ding extruders upstreamto a pelletizer or moun ted as a side streamwith a piping adapter. It can be retrofittedto many existing process systems. It usesa permanently lubricated, sealed-for-lifegearboxes, allowing it to be mounted in anyorientation. It is also interchangeable withexisting PCR and MFM installations as anupgrade option. The <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 isbacked by a worldwide, direct supportsystem for service and training of plantpersonnel. We also provide servicesto assist with the integration of the<strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 in plant DCS systems.The <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620 provides superior easeof maintenance features and easy access toall critical components. It can be removedfrom the process by closing its isolationvalves and removing only 2 bolts. The vastmajority of maintainable components arestandard stock items from major vendors ofpolymer processing hardware.Technical Specifications <strong>HAAKE</strong> PCR 620Stress5 kPa to 250 kPa*ASTM D-1238 loads0.5 Kg to 25 KgShear Rate0.03 to 4,000 1/sec*Viscosity1 to 200,000 Pa.s10 to 2,000,000 poiseMelt Flow Index 0.02 to 3,000*Temperature50°C to 350°C (400°C option)PumpsRheometer: 0.584 cc/rev to 2.92 cc/revMax.
