The Mooney Motor That Drives Better

Mooney Motor

All MonTech Mooney Viscometers come with a brushless, speed controlled, and closed loop DC motor with gearhead. The advanced motor-style creates an unmatched improvement in reliability and creates a lower signal to noise ratio. In turn, the user will see greater data repeatability, an elimination of stepper ripples, and a smoother Mooney curve for the lifetime of the instrument.
 

  • Standard Speed: 2 RPM

Industrial Electronics That Endure.

The leaders in rubber product manufacturing demand the highest standard in industrial electronics. The MV 3000 Basic’s PLC controls all functions in the instrument, from operation to data recording. Designed by one of the top three European producers of industrial PLCs, the MDR’s PLC is considered an industrial standard across high-tech industries and advanced automation applications. It’s fully digital with no analogue signal processing. If something goes wrong, its modular design enables quick replacements if necessary and is available for remote diagnostics.
