RotoThinner
The flexibility of the TQC Sheen Digital Rotothinner™, DV2700, allows the user the ultimate control during the viscosity reduction process whilst also providing very useful stability analysis. Spindle not included, see accessories.
Features
- Offers easy, continuous monitoring of the material viscosity during the addition of solvents and thinners to create supply or RFU viscosity.
- Allows definitive viscosity analysis at times preselected by the user, providing excellent data relating to shear performance
- Ultimate control during the viscosity reduction process whilst also providing very useful stability analysis.
- Microprocessor controlled which ensures a higher accuracy and repeatability. Enhanced by the automatic multi-point calibration, for which no dongle is required.
- Perfect for use in both production and laboratory environments.
- The manual reading starts when the handle is at its lowest point.
- The continuous reading gives continuous measurement results.
- The max hold function shows the maximum reading.
- The time-to-reading function offers the opportunity to automatically take readings with a set time interval.
- An automatic display hold function is available to freeze the reading so it can be noted more easily.
- Three measuring ranges achievable in one instrument
- The plate spindle is used to determine viscosity of fluids of 0-22 poise.
- The large ball spindle is used for measurements between 0-75 poise.
- The small ball spindle is used for measurements between 0-350 poise.
- Conforming to ISO 2884 and BS 3900 A7 a range of verification oil kits are also available.

Procedure
- A tin container is filled with sample fluid and positioned on a magnetic ring mounted on top of the base.
- The spindle is submersed in the sample fluid by lowering the handle.
- When the handle has reached the lowest point, the spindle starts rotating with a set constant speed.
- The display shows the actual measured viscosity in poise.
- The reading of free-flowing fluids can be viewed quickly. (More structured materials need more time because the spindle applies shear that influences the reading.)
- After taking the reading(s) the handle can be lifted to a level where the spindle is just below the rim of the sample container. This level offers the operator the opportunity to spin off the sample material.
- When the handle is raised to its maximum extent the spindle automatically switches off.
- The quick release chuck allows for quick spindle exchange and eases cleaning the instrument and spindles.
