    FTM-50

    The Food Texture Analyzer (Texturometer) FTM-50 is a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution for rapid testing, detailed texture analysis in applications up to 1 kN (225 lbf).

    The Texturometer uses interchangeable load cells as a force measurement element.
    Cyclic tensile and compression tests with load and extension limits are characteristic of standard equipment. The equipment can be adjusted with a series of jaws, fixings and accessories specifically designed for the food industry, as well as for general applications such as evaluation of the resistance and integrity of the food packaging.

    The FTM-50 Texturometer is characterized by its innovative design that maximizes the workspace and simplifies both its operation and maintenance.
    Its large workspace allows to accommodate a wide range of test samples of large sizes and this can be increased with additional work platforms for special applications.
    The results can be managed to produce detailed analytical reports with the possibility of integrating them in Windows and exporting them to Windows base programs such as Excel …
