Features & Benefits

1) User Friendly: The yielding of the surface at a given contact force and defined measuring distance are displayed. The measured values are not a force unit but a quotient.

2) Large display: This fruit texture analyzer has a large display of 102 x 64 pixels making it easy for an operator to see the readings. The screen is subdivided into general data information, the main field for measurement results on the test sample and the navigation bar+ charge status of the battery.

3) Interchangeable test anvils: The operator can choose the test anvil according to the fruit or vegetables being tested.

4) Non-Destructive method: The method used for testing the sample is non-destructive, therefore does not damage the fruit or vegetable. The test anvil does not penetrate the fruit peel, whereas the penetrometer damages the fruit to obtain a firmness measurement.
