Dispergrader in South Africa

Dispergrader Supplier for South Africa

MCS Mechatronic manufactures the Dispergrader in Kolhapur, India, and supplies it to tyre makers, rubber compounders, carbon black producers and rubber research labs in South Africa. The instrument measures the degree of dispersion of carbon black and fillers in rubber by automated image analysis of a cut specimen surface.

South Africa has the most developed industrial base in Africa, with mining, automotive manufacturing, steel production, power generation and a large lifting-equipment sector. SANAS-accredited labs, OEM supplier requirements and mining safety rules keep demand for precise, traceable material testing high. Poor filler dispersion weakens rubber and shortens tyre life, so dispersion grading is a routine check in compound mixing.

Testing Standards Supported

The MCS Dispergrader meets ASTM D7723 and ISO 11345 (methods C, D and E), the standard methods for rating macro-dispersion of fillers in rubber.

In South Africa, product conformity is overseen by SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). The Pathfinder software stores dispersion values, histograms and images in a database for batch reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you export the Dispergrader to South Africa?

Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures the Dispergrader in Kolhapur, India, and exports it to South Africa through ports such as Port of Durban and Port of Cape Town.

What does a Dispergrader measure?

It measures the degree of dispersion of carbon black and other fillers in rubber, reporting dispersion %Z, %X and Y values along with the size, number and location of agglomerates.

Can it analyse white and coloured compounds?

Yes. The colour camera can analyse black, white and coloured compounds.

Which standards does it meet?

ASTM D7723 and ISO 11345 (methods C, D and E).

Can MCS machines support testing in SANAS-accredited labs?

Accredited labs in South Africa work to ISO and ASTM methods under SANAS. The MCS Dispergrader meets ASTM D7723 and ISO 11345 (methods C, D and E), and its software stores dispersion values, histograms and images for your SABS or client records. Machines can be verified on site by your accredited calibration provider after delivery.

Can the machine run on the power supply used in South Africa?

The supply voltage depends on the model. South Africa's three-phase supply is 400 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
