This Brabender OHG Duisburg Plasti-corder PLE330+ is a laboratory torque rheometer — also known as a viscosity meter or melt flow tester — used to measure the flow and viscosity characteristics of polymers, plastics, rubber, and other materials under controlled conditions. Brabender is a well-established German manufacturer of precision laboratory and process technology instruments, widely recognised in the plastics, food, and chemical industries for equipment used in material testing, quality control, and research applications.
This particular unit is configured as a type W 30 H and is equipped with a pneumatic feeder, giving it a practical, production-like feeding arrangement suited to consistent material introduction. It carries serial number 181510 and is mounted on its own frame complete with switchgear, making it a largely self-contained test station.
The machine operates over a speed range of 10 to 250 rpm, with variable speed control allowing precise adjustment to suit different material viscosities and test protocols. Heating is provided electrically, and the unit includes a kneader for mixing and working the test material within its 0.03-litre chamber volume. Measurements are read via an analogue meter, and a recorder is included, enabling test data to be captured over time — an important feature for generating flow curves and quality documentation.
Physically, the machine occupies a floor footprint of 1.5 by 0.6 metres and stands 1.2 metres in height overall. The unit is offered used, located in Barneveld, Netherlands.
