Dynisco LMI 5000 is a capillary plastometer for evaluating the flow properties of polymer melts, from laboratory control to production environments. The instrument combines a colour touchscreen display, USB communication, an optional pneumatic weight lifting system, Force Packer, digital encoder, LaVA Suite software and automatic sample cutting.
A platform for measuring melt flow index, shear parameters, apparent viscosity, intrinsic viscosity and melt density.
The LMI 5000 series is based on customer feedback and offers a configuration for more precise measurement, easier weight handling, consistent sample preparation and more efficient management of measured data.
The digital encoder provides highly precise piston displacement measurement during A/B and B method tests. It helps increase evaluation accuracy and repeatability of measured results.
Automatic sample cutting performs cuts at defined times for methods A and A/B. It can also cut the sample at the end of the preheating time regardless of the method and provides more consistent cutting than manual operation.
The Force Packer applies a constant force after the polymer sample is inserted into the chamber. This reduces differences between operators and supports more consistent material preparation before testing.
The LMI 5000 supports a wider range of data, simple result management and an optional lifting system for safer and more convenient weight handling.
The software enables the creation of custom data series, including test conditions, melt flow index, shear stress, shear rate, viscosity and apparent melt density. Results can be stored and reported in various output formats.
The optional lifting system enables easy application of weights without manual lifting. The weights are stored in a stack above the instrument and the required load is selected by moving a pin. The system also supports a centre position for highly viscous materials.
The USB interface is used for data storage, computer connection, scale integration, network use, printing and working with flash storage.
The instrument supports 12 languages: English, Chinese, Dutch, German, Polish, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Czech, French and Russian.
The LMI 5000 helps reduce operator workload during melt flow index testing while improving repeatability, traceability and consistency of results.
The instrument provides not only melt index values, but also shear stress, shear rate, apparent viscosity, intrinsic viscosity and melt density.
Automatic cutting, the digital encoder and Force Packer reduce variability caused by differences in operator handling.
The pneumatic lifting system simplifies load selection and eliminates the need for manual weight lifting.
LaVA Suite and USB connectivity support saving, transfer, printing and reporting of measurement data.
The LMI 5000 enables the evaluation of basic and extended parameters of polymer melt flow behaviour.

Standard laboratory scales with clear display, simple operation and five operating modes. The advantage of this series is the PRE-TARE function (when activated, the stored weight is automatically deducted from the current measured weight).
It belongs to the group of scales with touch control. The biggest advantage of the Quintix series is easy operation via a color touch screen. Serious applications are clearly displayed with icons, as is usual today for "smart devices". Another plus of this series is excellent data communication. Each Quintix scale is equipped with a mini USB data output with Plug & Play technology.
The new LaVa Suite software is now available for the LMI 5000 Series capillary plastometers. It offers complete and easy management when collecting, storing and working with digital data provided by the capillary plastometer. Lava Suite ™ software enables additional generated measurement results, filtering using identifiers and comparison of individual measurements on a larger scale, including time horizons.
Integrate and aggregate data from existing Dynisco products such as our LMI5000 & LMI4004 melt flow indexers, our LCR7000 capillary rheometer, and instrumentation like our UPR900 process indicator via the Dynisco Edge Device. With the Edge Device you have a single board computer that helps you better understand and manage:
Accessories can be ordered separately or as a complete set in the form of a complete "black-box" case.
Certified measuring piston for Dynisco capillary plastometer with a declared weight of 100g. The piston contains 3 marked positions (lines) that show the position of the start of sampling and the end of sampling in the range of 30 mm according to ISO 1133 and a distance of 1 inch for ASTM D1238.
Cleaning wheels for laboratory instruments have high cotton quality and low dust resistance. As a result, you will always have the instrument quickly and conveniently cleaned of all polymer deposits inside the barrel. Thanks to the 100% cotton, the polymer does not smear on the barrel wall, but stays on the cotton roller, which does not tear and leaves no lint.
Knife for manual cutting of the sample from the capillary melt flow indexer and for subsequent cleaning of the capillary. It is made of high quality wooden handle and mild steel, which guarantees flexible blade bending and ensures comfortable cutting of the sample.
Standard capillary for Dynisco plastometer with an inner diameter of 0.95 mm and a length of 8 mm. The capillary is identical on both sides and is coated with a layer of Wolram Carbide, which gives the capillaries greater hardness and longer life. The capillary is used for all standard polymeric materials up to a flow index range of 0.1 [g / 10min] to 80 [g / 10min]. For higher indices, we recommend using a so-called half-capillary with half dimensions.
The half capillary is used for polymeric materials with very low viscosity. These materials, which achieve flow indices higher than 80 [g / 10min], will slow down and their testing will be no problem. If you are going to use a half capillary, you need to adjust the capillary plastometer settings and record this change in settings.
The stainless steel capillary brush with a diameter of 2.2 mm is the ideal tool for materials that are difficult to clean with heat. Thanks to its solid construction, it is very easy and comfortable to use despite its miniature size. The brush confidently cleans all residual polymer deposits inside the capillary and thus ensures perfect measurement results.
The universally applicable Memmert laboratory dryer is a classic temperature control device in the field of research, science and materials testing. Technologically improved construction made of high quality and easy to clean stainless steel. It has ventilation and control technology (optional), protection against overheating and precisely tuned heating technology.
The inspection mirror is used for inspection when cleaning the device, thanks to the telescopic handle you can easily and without risk get everywhere where you would otherwise have to lean or lean towards places with high temperature and thus avoid the risk of burns.
Cylindrical certified calibre for checking the capillary to the Dynisco melt flow indexer. The green end of the caliper must pass through the inner diameter of the capillary but the red end of the caliber must not pass through the diameter of the capillary. If the red end of the roller gauge passes through the capillary, it means that the capillary's inner diameter does not meet the required specifications and must be replaced.
The LMI accessory rack is used to store hot or used tools that are hung in the rack. After cooling, the individual elements can be cleaned. The rack helps to keep the workbench tidy and minimise the risk of injury.
The High Flow Plug is used as a seal against leakage of a filled barrel of a polymer that has a very low viscosity.
Cordless angle drill for easy and quick cleaning of the melt flow indexer barrel. In combination with the cleaning mandrel with replaceable tip, this set is the best helper, which also has a positive effect on the accuracy and the results provided. It also includes an extension mandrel for attaching the brush.
Cordless angle drill for easy and quick cleaning of the melt flow indexer barrel. In combination with the cleaning mandrel with replaceable tip, this set is the best helper, which also has a positive effect on the accuracy and the results provided.
The 8.5in (22cm) cleaning rod is used in combination with the cleaning tip and the cotton cleaning wheels. With this combination, you can clean the chamber quickly and easily using the cordless drill, with a positive effect on the accuracy of the instrument.
The barrel cleaning tip is used in combination with cotton cleaning patches and an extension cleaning rod. The tips are replaceable and made of aluminium to prevent damage to the melt flow indexer barrel. Nevertheless, this cleaning tip is only used with cotton patches.
