Microjet Fluid Technology for homogenizing
Microjet Fluid Technology overcomes the limitations of conventional mixing and homogenizing techniques, and offers particle size reduction and a process control capability that is second to none
Manufactured from stainless steel and weighing less than 2kilos, it is ideal for testing products in the QC/QA department, in the laboratory or at the point of production.
The consistometer allows producers to test the viscosity of confectionery, ready-meals, dipping sauces, gravies, creams, custards, tomato puree, soups, frostings, cake fillings, dips, jellies, preserves, syrups, sauces, etc to predetermine formulas for their product and to standardise production lots.
Complies to R-81294D and ASTM F1080-93 Christison have just introduced a new Consistometer which features a longer length graduated trough, specifically for testing less viscous materials.
Both instruments are available from stock for immediate despatch.
The Consistometer has a graduated trough divided into two sections by a gate.
The smaller section serves as a reservoir for the 75ml of material to be tested.
The larger section is graduated along the bottom in 0.5 cm divisions, beginning at the gate.
The gate is spring-operated and is held by a trigger that permits instantaneous release.
