Yesterday, Today, and Always...
C.W. Brabender® Instruments, Inc. for over 80 years has manufactured
testing equipment designed for measuring and recording viscosity,
consistency, thermal stability, plasticity, rheology, extensibility, and processability of various polymers.
Brabender® is the original manufacturer of
the torque rheometer. The recording dynamometer system was
developed by Carl W. Brabender in 1930. The first recording
dynamometer unit was known as the Farinograph® and was
manufactured for the Milling & Baking Industry to measure the
consistency of dough.
During the mid 1930's growing developments in
the Chemical Industry required updated technology to define the
processing characteristics of various polymers. The inventive solution to the growing concerns was met by Carl W. Brabender with the introduction of the Plastograph® -- a bold evolutionary leap built upon the roots of the Farinograph®.
Since its early inception the Plastograph® has developed into the world-renowned Plasti-Corder® ...today's Plasti-Corder® torque rheometer utilizes the latest developments in CAN (Contoller Area Network) Field Bus Technology...
