Early detection of developing faults in materials or products is essential for the prevention of costly losses in manufacture and claims resulting from faulty products, which can include consequential damages.
By establishing essential parameters for new products at the outset against which materials can be monitored, risks in safety and the
resulting possibilities for financial penalties are minimised.
Dealing with forces is dangerous. TesT attaches great importance to industrial safety. Universal testing machines made by TesT are fitted with electrically interlocked polycarbonate guarding.
Special safety guards for higher levels of risk or to enclose extra large
specimens are available on request. The safety provision meets the requirements of the European Community directives. Universal Testing machines made by TesT are CE-labelled and delivered with the CE conformity declaration, without any restriction.

The RHEOTENS ONLINE is a fully automatic and continuously operating on-line tensile tester developed on the basis of the lab system RHEOTENS. RHEOTENS ONLINE, in conjunction with the on-line Capillary rheometer MBR, is the first on-line testing system providing both shear and elongational information.
Key Features:
As with the known laboratory system Rheotens, the polymer strand is being drawn under constant acceleration. The stress/elongation test can be performed within freely selectable test frequencies. The system offers most possible safety in operation.
Die characteristic measuring units like maximum tensile force Fmax ("Melt Strength") and the finite elongational ratio "lambda" (extensibility), are continuously monitored and can be evaluated statistically.

FTC STANDARD SHEAR COMPRESSION CELL (CS-1)
The Kramer Shear Cell from Food Technology Corporation is the single most successful test fixture used for food texture measurement as it faithfully reproduces what happens when a product is consumed. The objective measurements made are very closely related to the human experience of chewing foods and is used throughout the world to grade the textural properties of food products ranging from apples to zucchini.
The fixture compresses, shears and extrudes the sample to measure firmness, fibrousness, tenderness and similar mouthfeel properties of food products.
The use of the Kramer Shear Cell means a larger sample size can be tested, which helps to minimise standard deviations in test results, common to tests measuring fewer samples. Particulates, in particular can be easily assessed using this fixture to measure them in bulk rather than more awkwardly in single form.
The FTC Standard Shear Compression Cell or “Kramer” Shear Cell (CS-1) consists of a sample holder, slotted lid and movable blade assembly. The inside of the sample holder measures 2.6” (66mm) wide by 2.6” (66mm) long by 2.5” (64mm) deep, and holds a volume of 16.9 cubic inches (227ml). The cell lid has 10 slots, which accommodate the 10 parallel, 1/8” (3.2mm) thick blades. The movable blades are attached to the load cell and are forced through the test sample producing a force proportional to the sum of both the shear and compression failure point of the test sample.

TMS LIGHTWEIGHT SHEAR BLADE SET
Food Technology Corporation’s TMS shear blade set has been designed to replicate the specification of the original Warner-Bratzler blade. The test set should be used in conjunction with the TMS standard fixture table on the TMS-Pro or TMS-Console texture analyzers to allow blades to pass completely through samples during shear testing.
Shear blades provide an excellent indication of a cross sectional characteristics. Natural variation
and irregularities present are essentially averaged and accommodated by the blades geometry.
A single blade cuts through the sample creating a combination of shearing, tearing and compression forces. Stress initiates in compression mode until the sample yields and the blades starts to cut into the sample.
Applications include;
• Hardness of nougat bars
• Crumb hardness in fruited cakes
• Stalk softening in frozen broccoli florets
• Ripening changes as indicated by softness in bananas
• Slicing hardness of hard cheeses
• Shear toughness of chicken breast
The test set comprises of a blade holder with 2 locking screws. A central slot allows free movement of the blade to limit friction during analysis. Each blade is manufactured from stainless steel, reversible and 1mm thick. The first blade has a plane flat bottom and a 20mm notched end. The second has a 44mm and a 32mm inverted “V” with small central cut out. The stainless steel blades travel through 35mm high guide arms positioned 50mm apart into a 1.4mm wide slot at the base – these dimensions govern the size of samples used in assembly.

The system comes calibrated to read out directly in “Tenderometer Units” (TUs) and operates from a 12-volt DC power source, such as an automotive battery.
The tripod legs fully collapse for ease of transport and are adjustable for operation on the back of a vehicle or free standing on the ground. A hard mount kit is also available to secure it directly to a harvester. Durable, rugged and reliable, the TU-12 is designed to withstand harsh use with minimum maintenance. With micro processor control, the systems are easy to operate and almost no training is needed. Just load the sample and press the "START" button. It’s that easy. The TU-12 completes a test cycle and displays the results in standard Tenderometer Units up to 160 TU's.
FTC tenderometers have been used extensively by customers worldwide to determine harvest dates, buy on grade, and position harvesters for the most effective and high quality crop yield. With profits at stake a point or two off the standard can be very costly. Providing excellent accuracy, the TU-12 can easily save you thousands, quickly paying back your initial investment on a system that will remain dependable and trouble-free for years to come.

New Powerful CT3 Texture Analyzer Features Both Compression and Tension!
Brookfield Engineering introduces the New CT3 Texture Analyzer, the most powerful, lowest cost, stand-alone Texture Analyzer ever produced. This new generation instrument features not only the traditional Compression Mode, but now includes a brand new Tension Mode. Now manufacturers can test their products and the packaging as well. The large vertical work area of the CT3 is ideal for large sample placement. This also allows for increased travel distance maximizing the functionality of the new Tension Mode.
The CT3 offers load cells with expanded range capability from 100 grams to 50 kilograms. The 10kg load limit more than doubles the limit of it’s predecessor, the LFRA Texture Analyzer. It also features a broader speed range for probe movement, a USB port for direct connection to a PC, and an optional temperature probe.
The CT3 Texture Analyzer features seven test modes. These Report Test Modes include: Normal Test, Hold Time Test, Cycle Count Test, Bloom Test, TPA Test, Tension Test and Static Load Calibrator Check.
Brookfield provides a complete line of fixtures for use with the CT3. In addition, Brookfield will work with customers to develop custom equipment for their specific texture measurement applications.

The TMS-Pro is FTC's top-of-the-range texture analyzer, designed to be an affordable alternative to the higher priced systems available on the market.
The main benefits of this food texture system is its pinpoint accuracy of force measurement in tension and compression (data acquisition rate of 2000 readings per second), with precision positioning and speed control. Offering full programming capability, operators can easily change test methods and variables to assess different food characteristics.
The use of Texture Lab Pro software means test data is plotted in real-time providing initial observational analysis of the test as it is being performed. Once complete, operators can;
• Overlay multiple graphs to compare test results
• Interrogate results using analysis tools to assess performance in more detail
• Generate a report showing graph and test data
• Export report directly to Microsoft Excel or to an external printer
The TMS-Pro combined with Food Technology Corporation's test cells and fixtures means you can squash, snap, cut, puncture, extrude and stretch raw and processed food samples up to a maximum force of 2500N (562lbf).
