All in one Texture Analyzer

The AGROSTA®Belle2 (2024 version) is a powerful texture analyzer, built for precision in food, pharmaceutical, and general material testing. With a durable design made from PLA plastic and micro carbon fiber, it’s both robust and lightweight. Belle2 can handle any texture testing standard and is simple to operate, delivering accuracy and versatility across various applications. Equipped with a large 4.3” color touchscreen and dual-core microcontroller (one core dedicated to measurements, the other to movement and display), Belle2 is designed for continuous use in demanding environments.

Key Features:

Four Testing Modes:
- Single Pressure: Measures hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, resilience.
- Double Pressure: Adds measurements for gumminess, springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness.
- Pull Mode: Measures maximum pressure and fracturability for tensile tests.
- Constant Pressure: Records initial and final deflection for steady-load applications.

Precise Measurements: Capable of up to 17 kg pressure with 6-gram accuracy, using a high-quality load cell.
High-Speed Data Collection: Records 80 measurements per second, allowing detailed texture profiling. Displays real-time curves via USB or Bluetooth on Android or Windows devices.
Extensive Memory: Stores up to 50 batches with 300 measurements each in its 2 MB internal memory. No storage limitation when connected to computer.
Calibration Stand: Included for on-site calibration checks and adjustments, with remote support available from the manufacturer.
Flexible Connectivity: Connects to Android or Windows via USB or Bluetooth for continuous data management. The Windows app includes a light version of Excel, allowing data creation, modification, and analysis directly in the app.

Accessories: A wide range of optional accessories:

Specialized Testing Sets: Warner-Bratzler set for shear testing, and extrusion systems for various testing needs, Fruits & vegetables set
Additional Tips and Tables: Options for flat, hemispheric, and spheric tips, with sizes up to 50 mm, and tables for specific applications.

Pricing:

Base unit: €3900, including worldwide express shipping.
Optional Durofel module and additional accessories are available in the Accessories section.
