TA.XT plus Texture Analyser

Texture analysis is the mechanical testing of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and other consumer products either in compression or in tension. The TA.XTplus Texture Analyser assesses textural properties by capturing force, distance and time data at a rate of up to 500 points per second which is then displayed by fully integrated Exponent 32-bit software. This powerful and versatile Texture Analyser completely satisfies the increasing demands for accurate, repeatable and quantifiable textural information and stands as a significant evolution from single-parameter to multi-functional computer controlled instruments to carry out a wide range of measurements. The TA.XTplus uses a range of different probes and fixtures according to the required test method. Each probe or fixture is designed for a specific group of applications, and can be attached to the texture analysers base and/or arm. Samples are either placed on the base of the texture analyser or on the lower fixture or held between two fixtures. In a simple test, the arm of the texture analyser containing a loadcell moves down to penetrate or compress the product, and then returns to its initial position.
