MDR vario

  • MDR VARIO

 

A rotorless rheometer measuring cure characteristics and viscoelastic properties of rubber compounds via oscillating die across an extended strain range, delivering comprehensive vulcanization data.

Product Information

The Bareiss MDR ultra sets a new benchmark in cure analysis — delivering fast, accurate characterization of rubber compounds under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Its ultra-rigid frame, sealed biconical dies, and advanced temperature management guarantee stable, repeatable measurements — fully conforming to ASTM, ISO, and DIN standards. Combined with the modern and user-friendly BareissOne software, it transforms complex curing data into clear, actionable insights for confident quality assurance.

Key Features

Extended Strain Range

Allows material-specific amplitude testing for improved reproducibility, resulting in more accurate and meaningful cure data.

FT-Rheology as Standard

Captures torque and strain harmonics in every test, making measurement artifacts immediately visible for more transparent analysis.

Air cooling as Standard

Reduces cooling times to increase testing efficiency while enabling precise non-isothermal temperature control.

Ultra-rigid test frame

Minimizes instrument compliance to ensure accurate torque and strain measurements, delivering reliable and reproducible results across all material types.
