Digital torque viscometer for starch analysis
Experience rapid and precise starch gelatinization analysis with a compact, high-speed viscometer optimized for real-time monitoring and substance insight, perfect for innovative product development and quality control.
Performs Real-Time Viscosity and Rheological Analysis
The Brabender ViscoQuick from Anton Paar is a digital torque viscometer that accelerates viscosity measurement with its integrated PC and touchscreen design. Specially engineered for food and beverage sectors, this equipment achieves rapid heating and cooling rates of +20°C and -15°C per minute, allowing starch and flour gelatinization analysis in under 10 minutes. Its unique cool-down capability supports applications requiring temperatures below 20°C, accommodating ready-to-eat food products like cheese spread and plant-based burger patties. Designed for seamless integration into R&D and processing environments, the ViscoQuick connects via browser-based MetaBridge software, enabling real-time data export and insights sharing. This system is energy-efficient with a precise Peltier temperature control system, optimizing space and reducing energy consumption. Available with support for various flour and starch measurement languages, including Brabender Units and universal metrics, this compact unit offers robust adaptability for research and development departments focusing on products ranging from granules to liquid slurries. The system’s design includes a 10.4″ touchscreen interface, enhancing user operability while maintaining strict compliance with industry standards.
