Colorimeter for food applications: roasted coffee Konica Minolta Sensing Americas

Why Use Color Indexes?
Color Indexes are designed to save time and cut costs by providing the user with only information pertinent to their application. An index simplifies color readings by presenting the user with one number to base a decision on instead of a multitude of data to sort through. Color indexes also replace visual standards used in various applications and therefore taking the subjectivity out of the people doing the observing; Thus providing an instantaneous evaluation of the sample that is accurate measurement after measurement. Konica Minolta Sensing Americas has pioneered the development of our proprietary Color Indexing Technology or CIT into full turnkey solutions for a number of industries.

What is a CR-410C?
The CR-410C is a specialty unit designed specifically for roasting of whole bean coffee. Currently the measurement of roasted coffee is either evaluated visually for color or are measured by a bulky & expensive instrument. The CR-410C will display a number, an index value, calculated to correlate to industry standard measurements such as those by Specialty Coffee Association of America or SCAA. The CR-410C series instrument is based on Konica Minolta's CR-400 instrument technology, a highly accurate and reliable platform that has been in service to the food industry for over 20 years. Additionally the CR-410C features our proprietary Food Color Indexing Technology or FCIT.
