TRICOR's Model 225 Chocolate Temper Meter offers accuracy and repeatability for the measurement of chocolate temper in a single, compact, low-cost, no-mess, easy to operate unit. The Model 225 is a truly versatile measurement system finding use by field, production, and laboratory personnel. The user fills a sample cup with chocolate, places it in the unit, and has printed & displayed temper results within minutes. Monitoring chocolate temper using a temper meter ensures the chocolates stability, best flow properties, rapid set, high gloss, mold release, and bloom resistance. Use of the 225 allows corrective action to be taken before temper becomes unacceptable and reduces production yield and shelf life. The 225 incorporates features field proven in TRICOR's temper meters since 1981, the year TRICOR introduced the first temper meter utilizing a thermoelectric cooler.

The Model 921B may operate in a standalone mode for production line testing. The operator is presented with a passfail indication for the devices being tested. The Model 921B may also communicate with a PC and provide data for analysis and storage. The analysis includes numerical (tabular) results as well as graphical display of the tested parameters. This line of displacement-force switch test stations has a positional resolution of 0.0025 mm (0.0001 inches). Your test department will appreciate the high accuracy readings provided over the complete travel range.

The Model 530 incorporates features field-proven since 1981 in TRICOR'S award-winning, world-renowned temper meters. It offers advanced electronics, extended operating temperature and temperature measurement ranges, as well as user-selectable and programmable functions. The 530 provides the most convenient and accurate method available for determining the temper of chocolate. Its use allows corrective action to be taken before temper becomes unacceptable and effects production yield. The key to accurate temper measurement is stringent control of those conditions that affect the measurement. Control is exercised, in part, by precisely regulating the cooling temperature of the test sample, maintaining the depth and temperature of the temperature-sensing probe, and ensuring a constant sample size.

• Weight:9 kg (20 lb.)

The Model 925 is a low cost force-distance tester. It communicates with a Windows™-based PC to send data into an Excel format. The data can then be viewed and analyzed in tabular or graphical format. Once in the Excel format, the data can be transferred or used in any of the multiple Excel operations. This line of displacement-force test stations has a positional resolution of 0.0025 mm (0.0001 inches). Your test department will appreciate the high accuracy readings provided over the complete travel range.

The Model 555A In-Line Temper Measurement Unit is directly incorporated into a chocolate production line. It continuously monitors the temper of chocolate to ensure product quality and shelf life without requiring operator intervention. The 555A is the first temper measurement system that can be readily installed on existing as well as new production lines. In-Line Temper Measurement Soft-ware (ILTMS©), a Windows®-based program, permits users to use an external personal computer to monitor the unit's status, modify configuration parameters, and view stored test results. Since the 555A does not require that an operator take test samples, it truly automates the temper measurement process. The 555A provides the confectionery manufacturer the opportunity to fully automate chocolate temper control, thus eliminating the need for rework and reducing manufacturing costs.
