Test apples, pears, peaches, nectarines and kiwi-fruit – with quick , easy reliable results.
The Fruit Texture Analyser (FTA) measures fruit firmness at the push of a button and captures the results to a PC. Tests are conducted at standard depths and speeds of penetration, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.
Advantages
- The FTA connects to a standard PC and the software runs on Windows 98/NT4/ME/2000/XP.
- The test results can be processed as follow:
- Save the results to disk (or network) in ASCII format.
- Capture the test results with your own software directly from the FTA using the control functions (supplied with the system in a DLL).
- The FTA can directly be accessed from Excel, Word or Access.
- Installation only takes a few minutes.
- The FTA requires minimum maintenance – only cleaning to remove juice.
- The FTA can also be controlled from:
- ART-Soft database which forms part of the ART System (Apples Ripening Test). The software can be purchased directly from UP GmbH, Germany.
- FQMS database (Fruit Quality Management System). Contact GÜSS or Hortec for further information on this software.
Features
- The FTA can be controlled with your own software . The control functions can be accessed through a DLL file. Integrating the FTA with existing QA software systems should not take longer than two hours of programming.
- Software can be configured to allow for customised output data and enables the FTA data to be incorporated into existing quality control systems.
- The electronic measure system ensures accurate, reliable firmness readings
- All operating parameters can be regulated via the control PC (probe speed, calibration, threshold load, depth).
- The motorized system eliminates operator discrepancies and ensures accurate test distance (depth).
- Low maintenance – NO lubrication or adjustments are required.
- Electronic speed control ensures accurate probe speed and also ensures that tests are carried out under standard conditions.
- Software to generate reports from the recorded data is included in the package .
- Built-in safety features protect against overload.
- Measuring units:
Firmness: kg, pounds, Newton.
Depth: millimeter, inch.
