Every unit comes with the “Auto Cycle” one-button operation, the industry standard CS-1-TU Test Cell, FTA-TU Force Transducer and the computerized TG4-E Texture gage. The TU-12 will operate from a 12-volt power source, such as an automotive battery. The tripod legs fully collapse for ease in transport and are adjustable for operation on the back of a pickup or free standing on the ground. Ahard mount kit is also available.

Designed to withstand harsh field use with a minimum of maintenance, the TU-12 is easy to operate and requires almost no training. FTC Tenderometer systems have been in continuous operation in production environments for more than 40 years.

Measure Pea Crop Maturity InThe Field With Accuracy And Ease

Profit and savings Designed exclusively for peas, theFood Technology Corporation (FTC) Model TU-12 Tenderometer is a portable and economical field alternative for determining maturity in fresh peas. FTC systems have proven to be the most dependable, accurate, and trouble-free system ever created for grading pea quality.

Processors worldwide use FTC Tenderometers to determine harvesting dates, “Buy on Grade,” and position harvesters for the most effective crop yield. With profits at stake, a point or two off that standard can be very costly. Accurate readings can save thousands of dollars a day for a medium to large operation, and quickly pay back the initial investment. FTC offers a yearly calibration service to maintain accuracy.
