Brookfield - BU of Ametek GmbH

With no moving parts, the FAST system is the perfect choice for the extreme demands such as paints, inks and coatings.
The Brookfield FAST101 system has a rugged design with nonmoving parts.  It has been designed to perform day after day under the extreme demands in printing, coating and adhesive operations - with no maintenance.  Utilizing a high frequency, micro-rotational core, which is unaffected by press vibration, this worry free system can measure and control the viscosity of your inks, coatings and adhesives from start to finish...allowing the operators to handle other press concerns.

Rheological evaluation through controlled stress measurement offers superior viscosity profiling, thixotropic response, yield stress determination and creep analysis. The Brookfield RST Rheometer offers both controlled rate and controlled stress measurement. Available with cone/plate, plate/plate, or coaxial cylinder measurement geometry, the RST Rheometer offers powerful flow characterization tools including ramp, loop, and single point testing. A wide range of shear rate, shear stress, and torque provide flexible flow analysis including creep and yield measurement.

The RST Rheometer is designed to accommodate the high throughput required of quality control laboratories. It also offers the sophisticated flexibility required of research environments. The RST Rheometer provides cost effective, worry free operation for a variety of laboratory applications.

The New DV2T Viscometer features a 5-inch color display to guide users through test creation and data gathering for fast and easy viscosity measurements. The DV2T also offers powerful new programming capabilities and results analysis including data averaging and QC limits with alarms. User instructions with multi-step test protocols can be created using the new Program Generator Software and uploaded to the DV2T through a USB Flash Drive (both included with instrument). Test Data can be recorded directly on a local printer or sent to a PC.

The new user interface provides enhanced security with customizable user levels & password access to comply with regulatory requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11.
