Model:
  • Drive for small mixers, single- and twin-screw extruders
  • Application as table-top device possible due to compact design
  • Speed control: 0.2 min-1 to 185 min-1 with 200 Nm max. torque
  • Smart drive and control unit to gain deep process knowledge
  • MetaBridge for analyzing time-dependent process variables

Gain deeper insight into material behavior with the Brabender MetaStation torque rheometer. Characterize plastics and other plastifiable materials, optimize formulations, and enable confident process development using precise torque measurements and plastograms for in-depth material characterization. The modular platform combines mixing and extrusion in one system, allowing seamless transfer of process knowledge from mixing to extrusion. With support for more than 50 ISO and ASTM-based methods and the industry-leading MetaBridge operating software, MetaStation ensures consistent product quality while accelerating formulation development.

Key features

Reliable quality starts with process understanding

Understand how your materials behave before they reach production. The Brabender MetaStation torque rheometer generates plastograms that visualize how materials respond to temperature and shear, revealing processability, melting behavior, viscosity changes, and material stability. Compare raw materials and formulations, monitor batch-to-batch consistency, and define optimum processing parameters with confidence.  Ensure reproducible, comparable results for quality assurance and product qualification worldwide.

Endless mixing possibilities

Whether you develop new formulations or perform routine quality control, MetaStation offers the flexibility to configure the ideal mixing setup for your application. Choose the mixer that fits your application. Use 30 cm³ or 50 cm³ batch mixers for formulation development, or the 350 cm³ internal mixer for larger sample volumes. For specialized PVC characterization, add the P600 planetary mixer. Switch between modules in less than 15 minutes, improve reproducibility with dedicated loading accessories, and increase laboratory efficiency with a redesigned mixer that is up to twice as fast to clean as previous generations.

One platform for mixing and extrusion

Transfer material process knowledge from mixing to extrusion with one modular platform. MetaStation's single-screw and twin-screw extrusion attachments enable continuous processing for evaluating melt behavior, viscosity and formulation performance. Produce strands, tapes, tubes, or films for downstream testing, optimize processing parameters, and establish robust production conditions. Low material consumption and efficient use of production resources accelerate the transition from laboratory development to manufacturing.

MetaBridge: The control center of your testing workflow

MetaBridge brings your complete testing workflow into one intuitive software environment. Set up methods, run measurements, adjust parameters, and evaluate results directly on the instrument touchscreen. Follow live results from a desktop or mobile device within your company network, switch between mixing and extrusion applications, and select the relevant ASTM method with one click. Reference curve monitoring supports specification checks, while export and connectivity options simplify data sharing with colleagues, LIMS, or ERP systems.

Specialized mixers for challenging materials

Tailor your mixing system for the Brabender MetaStation to the unique requirements of every material. Anton Paar offers a wide selection of steel alloys, wear-resistant coatings, and application-specific mixer configurations to ensure reliable measurements and long-term durability, even with highly abrasive or corrosive compounds. For thermosets, the dedicated MB 30 mixer with delta-shaped blades accurately characterizes curing and crosslinking behavior according to DIN 53764, extending the platform’s versatility to highly reactive materials.
