Mechanical Powder Coated Fruit Hardness Tester

The Fruit Hardness Tester is a precision digital instrument designed to measure the firmness and ripeness of fruits by determining the penetration resistance of fruit flesh. It provides accurate, repeatable results, making it ideal for quality control, research, and harvest assessment.
The device features a digital LCD display with peak hold, zero adjustment, and reversible display options. It includes four interchangeable tips (3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, and 11 mm) to accommodate different fruit types and hardness levels. Data can be transferred to a computer via the RS-232 serial interface, ensuring efficient record-keeping and analysis.

• High Accuracy: ±(0.5% + 2 digits) for reliable measurement.

• Digital Display: Easy-to-read LCD with peak hold and zero functions.

• Multiple Measurement Units: Displays readings in Kg, Lb, or Newton.

• Wide Test Range: Measures hardness up to 20.00 Kg / 44.10 Lb / 196.10 N.

• Four Interchangeable Tips: 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, and 11 mm for testing various fruit textures.

• RS-232/USB Interface: Enables computer connectivity for data logging and analysis.
