Flour and dough analyzer

Enhance your dough and flour testing with precise rheological analysis, ensuring optimal water absorption and dough consistency for superior bakery products.

Analyzes Dough Rheology and Water Absorption

The Brabender FarinoGraph from Anton Paar is a specialized analyzer for precise rheological testing and water absorption analysis of flour and dough. This equipment stands out with its ability to cover all major national and international standards, including ICC, AACCI, and ISO, ensuring you communicate with a universally recognized metric: the Brabender/Farinograph Units (BU/FU). Ideal for applications in flour mills, bakeries, and food R&D laboratories, it simplifies critical evaluations like dough stability, development time, and softening degree. Using a 3-phase system, it simulates entire baking processes and integrates with MetaBridge software for seamless data connectivity, allowing access and sharing from any device. The device supports various processes from mixing and kneading to stretching and gelatinization analysis, while the AquaInject module automates precision water titration, enhancing consistency and safety. The FarinoGraph is available with a range of mixer attachments to suit different sample sizes and applications, with a focus on gluten-free and plant-based food sectors. This bench-top unit operates continuously and automates many testing functions, equipped with USB and LAN interfaces to integrate easily into laboratory environments.
