MCS Mechatronic manufactures the Dispergrader in Kolhapur, India, and supplies it to tyre makers, rubber compounders, carbon black producers and rubber research labs in Thailand. The instrument measures the degree of dispersion of carbon black and fillers in rubber by automated image analysis of a cut specimen surface.
Thailand is the automotive hub of South-East Asia, with assembly plants and hundreds of component suppliers in the Eastern Economic Corridor, alongside a world-scale rubber and tyre industry. Springs, fasteners, castings and rubber compounds made there are tested to strict OEM and TIS requirements. Poor filler dispersion weakens rubber and shortens tyre life, so dispersion grading is a routine check in compound mixing.
A camera on a precision rail scans the specimen automatically and the software grades dispersion against image banks.
With Pathfinder software
Automated image-analysis instrument for dispersion of carbon black and fillers in black, white and coloured compounds.
| Standards | ASTM D7723; ISO 11345 methods C, D and E |
| Results | Dispersion %Z, %X and Y values; agglomerate size, number and location |
| Imaging | Colour camera with autofocus on precision rail; four-position LED lighting |
| Scanning | Automatic and manual scanning of multiple areas per specimen |
| Software | Pathfinder: histograms, analytical data, image database, five image banks on split screen |
| Included | PC and widescreen monitor |
Full data is on the Dispergrader page.
Our machines are used by automotive OEMs and component suppliers, spring and fastener makers, rubber and tyre manufacturers, steel processors and university labs. Typical Thai applications include:
Dispersion checks on tread and sidewall compounds
Mixing quality control batch by batch
Dispersibility of carbon black grades
Belts, hoses, seals and moulded parts
Silica and filler dispersion in non-black rubber
Compound development and mixer optimisation
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 Thailand, product conformity is overseen by TISI (Thai Industrial Standards Institute), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under TISI and the Department of Science Service (DSS). The Pathfinder software stores dispersion values, histograms and images in a database for batch reports.
We supply dispergraders to industrial cities and project sites across Thailand, including:
Machines are packed in seaworthy export cases and shipped from India to Laem Chabang Port, Bangkok Port (Khlong Toei) and Map Ta Phut Port.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the machine's calibration certificate are supplied with every shipment.
Online operator training on the machine and its software, with remote technical support from our team in India.
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures the Dispergrader in Kolhapur, India, and exports it to Thailand through ports such as Laem Chabang Port and Bangkok Port (Khlong Toei).
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.
Yes. The colour camera can analyse black, white and coloured compounds.
ASTM D7723 and ISO 11345 (methods C, D and E).
Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) and automotive OEM specifications reference ISO, ASTM and JIS methods. 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 TISI or client records. We supply the documents your importer needs for customs clearance.
The supply voltage depends on the model. Thailand's three-phase supply is 380 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
Tell us the compounds you test and your daily sample volume, and we will send a quotation.
