€3,804.00
A texture analyzer for any fruit or vegetable, functioning as both a penetrometer and deflection measurement device. Automatically measures weight and size, with customizable parameters via Windows software.
Fruits Texture Analyzer
The AGROSTA®FruitLab is a multi-functional analyzer designed for texture analysis, weight, and size measurement of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including apples, citrus fruits, avocados, bananas, carrots, and potatoes. Equipped with advanced Windows-compatible software, it supports both penetrometry and deflection measurements, making it an essential tool for labs focused on post-harvest quality control.
Key Features:
Texture Analysis:
- Load Cell Capacity: 20 kg (limited to 17 kg by software) with 1-gram precision and resolution.
- Customizable Measurement: Measures in grams or pounds, with adjustable speed and stroke settings.
- High Precision Mechanics: Nema 23 stepper motor and anti-backlash lead screw for stable and accurate measurements.
- Spring System: Maintains fruit stability on the table during testing, preventing samples from lifting with the tray.
Lab Scale:
- Capacity: 3 kg with 1-gram accuracy.
- Automatic Weight Detection: Instantly records stable weight values directly to Excel, with no need to press a button.
Size Measurement:
- Accuracy: 0.1mm with a resolution of 1mm, providing detailed size data for each sample.
Included Accessories:
- Measurement Tips: Comes with two standard tips (8mm² and 11mm²) for penetrometry and deflection measurements, with additional tip options based on specific requirements.
- Complete Software for Windows: Pre-installed on a USB stick, the software includes a free license for full customization, enabling parameter adjustments (speed, stroke, unit) and data export to Excel.
Optional Durofel Module: An optional Durofel module is available for testing soft fruits and vegetables, featuring three interchangeable tips (10 for nectarine, 25 for cherry, 50 for strawberry) and a table linking pressure to the Durofel index (0 to 100%).
