  • Normal Test: Single compression cycle.
  • Hold Time Test: Compress and hold.
  • Cycle Count Test: Multiple compressions.
  • Bloom Test: Gelatin bloom strength test.
  • TPA Test: Texture profile analysis.
  • Tension Test: Tensile testing.
  • Surimi Test: Gel strength.
  • Static Load Test: Calibration check.
Specifications:
  • Compression Distance: Up to 10cm, accommodating samples up to 22.5cm tall.
  • Load Cells: Seven measurement ranges up to 50kg.
  • Speed Range: 0.01-0.1mm/s (increments of 0.01mm/s) and 0.1-10mm/s (increments of 0.1mm/s) with ±0.1% accuracy.
  • Position Range: 0-101.6mm with 0.1mm resolution and accuracy.
