The Flow Funnel is an equipment used to make basic tests of Dry Flow (Flowability) of plastic materials. Recommended for all Rotational Molders.

These methods provide useful performance indexes of plastics such as powders and granules, regarding to their handling in fabrication.

Parameters like the Index Fusion, Density and Molecular Weight Distribution are as important as the Dry Flow (Flowability) and Apparent Density of the pulverizer resin to obtain the best molded part.

These tests of Apparent Density and Dry Flow (Flowability) are practical and also efficient tools to the Rotational Molder have a quality control of the plastic material. An efficient quality control results in several positive aspects like:
» Uniformity plastic material, which results in the best molder part.
» Best standard molded parts.
» Best production with less oven time.
» Best surface internal finish.

These tests cover the measurement of apparent Density and Pourability (Flowability) of plastic materials, such as molding powders (LLPDE).
