FEATURES:
Quick quantitative measurements of product or ingredient consistency
Penetrating consistometer measures entire sample, not just the surface
Simple to operate; employs self-teaching features
Works on a variety of products and ingredients (shortening, frosting, dough, butter, cheese...)
Includes PC software for full data recall and custom configuration to your application
TECHNICAL POINTS:
On-board microprocessor calculates and displays:
– the average force of a measurement
– the mean of a group of measurements
– the Standard Deviation of a group of measurements
– the equilibrated temperature of the measured sample
Precision load cell and non-contact depth sensor simultaneously measure penetration force and penetration depth, while sample temperature is also measured
Displays instantaneous penetration speed to guide operator for repeatable results
Included PC software allows configuration for many products by setting the desired penetration rate, depth of measurement, type of probe tip and specification ranges; all of which can be preloaded onto the instrument
Interchangeable probe tips can be used to adapt the instrument to different products
