Tenderometer for measuring hardness and ripeness of legumes
In the food processing industry, accurately determining the hardness and ripeness of legumes is essential for ensuring product quality and meeting market standards. Traditional methods often lack precision and can be time-consuming, creating challenges in maintaining consistent output.
Measure hardness and ripeness accurately
The JBT Tenderometer is a specialized laboratory device designed to provide precise measurements of the hardness and ripeness of fresh or scalded products, such as peas, beans, broad beans, and other legumes. With a high working capacity of up to 40 tests per hour, it offers efficient and consistent results. The device features an automated calibration system that ensures quick and simple restoration of values, improving accuracy in testing processes. Controlled by a microprocessor, the double CIP (Clean-In-Place) system ensures thorough cleaning with minimal manual intervention. An arithmetic mean function calculates the average of up to the last 20 outcomes, providing a reliable overview of multiple test results. Additionally, the unidirectional RS 232 interface allows easy data transmission to a remote computer for further analysis. The JBT Tenderometer is particularly beneficial for settings needing high precision in assessing legume quality, including laboratories and food processing plants.
