RESEARCH FACILITIES
INNOVATION FOR MOTHER EARTH
1. POLYMER TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES:
- Measuring Mixture
(Internal or batch mixers are machines for non-continuous production of homogeneous
polymer, elastomer, ceramic, or other mixtures. Measuring mixer can isolate flow problems
related to compounding, lubricity, dry blend, stability, effect of additives, pigments, and
fillers.)
- Measuring Mixture
- Twin Screw Extruder
(Superior compounding machine compared to the single screw extruder. With a co-rotating
screw diameter of 21.7mm and L/D ratio of 40:1, this extrusion machine is capable to do the
compounding job easily)
- Twin Screw Extruder
- Universal Testing Machine
i) Tensile Testing A destructive test process that provides information about the tensile strength, yield
strength, and ductility of the metallic material. It measures the force required to break a
composite or plastic specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or
elongates to that breaking point
- Universal Testing Machine
ii) Compression Testing
Determine a material’s behaviour under applied crushing loads, and are typically conducted by applying compressive pressure to a test specimen (usually of either a cuboid or cylindrical geometry) using platens or specialized fixtures on a universal testing machine. Compression testing is often done to a break (rupture) or to a limit.
- Capillary Rheometer
Instrumented device to measure apparent viscosity over a broad range of shear rates, at
predetermined temperatures typical to conditions encountered in melt processing such as
molding and extrusion.
- Capillary Rheometer
- Injection Moulding
Manufacturing process that is usually used in the fabrication of plastic items ranging from
automotive body parts to trinkets and toys. The Injection molding machines come with one
principal advantage of being able to produce tons of identical plastic parts.
- Injection Moulding
- Blow Moulding
Molding process used in the manufacturing industry to create hollow objects made of plastic.
It is a process that converts a hollow parison (or preform) into a shaped container by
deforming it under air pressure against a mold.
- Blow Moulding
2. HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGES ANALYSIS
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
Scanning electron microscopy analyses the surfaces of materials, particles and fibres so that
fine details can be measured and assessed via image analysis. SEM/EDX facilitates the study
of particles and surfaces with the added benefit of acquiring elemental composition for the
sample being studied. Elemental mapping and distribution across the surface of the sample is
also available.
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
3. 3D TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES:
- 3D Filament Extrusion Machine
Extrusion machine specially design for producing 3D filament in a small-scale production.
Ready to be utilise by the public & institutional research who eager in developing research &
learning in the 3d printing industry.
- 3D Filament Extrusion Machine
