Texture Analyser for Food, Cosmetics and Packaging TA1 » Exceptional Load Accuracy Load accuracy of +/- 0.5% down to 1% of load cell value provides a high dynamic range, thereby reducing the number of load cells required to cover the full force range. » Plug’n’Play YLC load cells Featuring anti-rotation collars to avoid load train twist and facilitating easy axial alignment » Large Work Area 180 mm (7.08 in) throat depth for larger specimens and wide range of work tables for flexibility » Advanced Test Setup The Windows®7 compatible NEXYGENPlus software features an improved and intuitive User Configurable Test functionality complementing the comprehensive texture analysis test library available » Application Expertise An extensive range of jigs, probes and fixtures designed from years of experience. In addition the machine can be fitted with multi-purpose grips for testing the strength and integrity of food packaging. » Broad Range of Applications - Bakery - Cereals - Confectionary & Snacks - Dairy - Fruit & Vegetables - Gels - Meat, Poultry & Fish - Pasta & Rice; Snacks - Pet Food - Cosmetics - Packaging The TA1 texture analyser is a cost effective, easy to use solution for performing rapid, detailed texture analysis tests on applications up to 1 kN (225 lbf). The Benefits of Texture Analysis Texture analysis can highlight quality improvement opportunities throughout the supply chain and the production process. New or alternative ingredients can be compared with existing ingredients. In production, texture analysis is used for the measurement and control of process variations such as temperature, humidity and cooking time. A texture profile analysis test replicates the effect of two bites on a sample. Lloyd Instruments NEXYGENPlus texture analysis software captures force, distance and time during the test, allowing the calculation of texture critical parameters such as: Adhesion Force Adhesiveness Chewiness Cohesiveness ISO 9001 Manufacturer Specification Sheet SS-TA1 Firmness Fracturability Gumminess Hardness Modulus Resilience Springiness Stringiness
