CHATILLON TAPlus Provides Both Routine and Sophisticated Texture Analysis
LARGO, FL--To drive down the cost of quality testing in food manufacturing, AMETEK has launched an affordable, high-performance food texture analyzer. The CHATILLON TAPlus, is designed for both routine and sophisticated texture analysis, is easy to use, and can be controlled using the company's new upgraded NEXYGEN™ MT application software. Unlike other texture analyzers, it features a sizable working area to accommodate large samples and accepts a wide range of food texture probes,
jigs and attachments as well as multi-purpose grips (for testing food packaging and other applications).
The 220lbf (102 Kgf, 1000N) capacity TAPlus accepts AMETEK's wide range of interchangeable, easy to connect XLC Series loadcells. Measurements are accurate to ±0.5% of the reading and speeds accurate to <0.2%. The standard system includes the base machine, a drip tray, food-testing base, and a half-inch probe for routine applications.
Using the appropriate test fixture, typical test applications with the TAPlus include gelatin bloom strength measurement to BS757; dough firmness; softness measurement, crumb strength and shelf life of baked items; cutting forces of bread, meat and butter; fracture properties of biscuits and confectionery, even the tensile strength and compressibility of cooked spaghetti. Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension limits extend the testing capabilities.
Functionality is further extended using NEXYGEN MT, AMETEK's highly acclaimed data analysis control software. This easy-to-use, Windows®-based package holds a vast library of international standard tests and specialized food-test set-ups. Version 4.5 has just been released, with new features such as powerful data security and audit trails, video capture and playback, and more. Results are presented in clear formats for speed and analysis accuracy. In addition, OLE2 compatibility means results can be exported easily into Microsoft® packages for flexible reporting.
