Perten Model TVT-6700 food texture analyser

The TVT-6700 texture analyser offers rapid, repeatable, cost-efficient and objective analysis of key characteristics including firmness, crispness, stickiness, cutting force, breaking force, chewiness, bending capacity, elasticity and more.

The TVT-6700 accurately measures position and force (weight) over time to provide objective descriptions of textural and physical properties of different food products like meat, dairy, snacks, confectionery, pasta, baked products, fruits etc.

Force, time and distance data is stored in tables and displayed as graphs. Results can be used to quantify optimal product qualities and specifications as a quality control tool or measure the effect of ingredients or process in finished products.

The robustness of the instrument makes it equally suitable in R&D or the production laboratory. The instrument is operated from an external PC or laptop connected with a USB cable. The software is intuitive and easy to use. Users can select predefined methods already loaded in the software or modify/create their own.

The instrument can be set for different test modes, such as single cycle, multiple cycles, hold until time, fracturability, tensile, adhesiveness and springback. A wide selection of probes, rigs and load cells to accommodate different testing conditions is available.
