Bangkok, March 2025 – The Global Rubber Latex & Tire Expo 2025 in Bangkok was once again an important meeting place for the international rubber and tire industry. Among the numerous exhibitors, MonTech from Buchen Germany, a leading manufacturer of materials testing machines, presented itself together with its Thai sales partner and sales management from Germany. The focus was on high-precision rheometers, density meters, and abrasion testing machines specially developed for the requirements of the tire and latex industry. Thailand is one of the world’s most important production locations for natural rubber and latex products. Our testing systems are designed to continuously increase the efficiency and precision of materials testing, which is reflected in the high demand. With its outstanding technologies, MonTech enables companies to further optimize their quality standards, and the trade fair once again underscored its importance as a platform for the presentation and discussion of technologies that will shape the future of materials testing.

During the exhibition, numerous live demonstrations were conducted, demonstrating the high precision and user-friendliness of MonTech’s inspection systems. Furthermore, valuable discussions were held with existing customers and prospective customers from across the ASEAN region.

Dear customers and suppliers,

The year 2024 is coming to an end and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your trust and successful cooperation. Together we have implemented great projects and mastered new challenges this year.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, a contemplative time full of joy and relaxation and a successful start to a happy and healthy 2025.

May the New Year bring you new opportunities and successes. We look forward to continuing our partnership in the coming year!

Best regards

MonTech

MonTech recently updated their machining capabilities in Buchen, Germany with several new high-tech 5-axis CNC machines for the production of Moving Die Rheometer and Rubber Process Analyzer components.

The new production units greatly increase productivity and performance, plus feature the latest technologies, such as in-process quality control, automated loading and unloading, additive manufacturing operations, selective surface hardening, and combine Turn/Mill/Grind operations for high precision surface quality.

The new machines went into operation in September, and are fully integrated into MonTech’s production workflow to support the increase in demand for testing instruments.

If you want to work on the testing technology of the future and deal with questions to which there are (currently) no solutions, come to us.

We look forward to receiving your application!

MonTech Adds Customizable Options to CP 3000 Bale Cutters.

Buchen, Germany: MonTech is offering customized bale cutters to accommodate the specific needs of rubber and polymer manufacturers.  Recognizing that the requirements for different industries can be widely varied, MonTech has expanded the available customization options for their line of bale cutters. Options available include designs for clean-rooms, production integration, cutting of sticky silicones or extremely hard materials (WPC composites), high speed slicing, automation, robotic additions, and more. MonTech’s in-house machining and design operations make the possibilities for customization nearly limitless!

Options Available:

• Autofeed and conveyor connections• Robotic handling• Complete stainless-steel designs• Silicone and medical applications• Heated blades• Extrusion / production line integration• Extremely hard material slicing• High speed cutting• Automation options• Custom knife and cutting block designs

Buchen, Germany: MonTech increases laboratory press force capability to 1500kN. The LP 1500kN is perfect for larger molds, small scale production, and for tougher materials such as composites. The new 1500kN holds to the MonTech press standard of having unmatched temperature uniformity and platen parallelism within the industry.

Each 1500kN can be outfitted with single, double, or triple daylight levels to accommodate more molds. In conjunction with data acquisition software, each press layer may be optionally equipped with up to 12 PT 100 channels to monitor temperature uniformity.

Similar to other MonTech lab presses, the 1500kN offers a user friendly design, full press frame enclosure, energy efficient hydraulics and single point PLC control. In addition to standard safety features, users may optionally equip the LP 1500kN with work lights, signal towers, safety curtains, and many other modules to accommodate international safety requirements.

All MonTech lab presses are fully compliant with ISO, DIN, ASTM and GB standards.

MonTech offers new optional Low Viscosity and Ultra-Low Viscosity Torque Transducers for all MonTech RPAs, MDRs, and Mooney Viscometers to accommodate a number of new testing applications! 

First, the Low Viscosity Torque Transducer has a torque range of 0.0001dNm to 52dNm and is ideal for testing in many sectors of the polymer industry, including: silicone, medical tubing, latex, TPE, and TPVS. 

Second, the Ultra-Low Viscosity Torque Transducer with a torque range of 0.0001dNm to 21dNm is perfect for testing 

MonTech RPA now reaches -40°C for advanced post-cure testing

The MonTech MCool -40°C is an advanced external liquid cooling system for use in the D-RPA 3000 and MDR 3000 Professional. It is perfect for testing where extreme low temperatures
are required, approaching glass transition temperature. The system works in conjunction with the pneumatic cooling system and cools both dies individually, reaching temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F). This patented cooling system serves as an addition to the instrument’s temperature control, leaving the existing heating system in the dies unchanged and fully operational. All instruments equipped with the MCool -40°C cooling system maintain full functionality of a Moving Die Rheometer or Rubber Process Analyzer
