Testing fruits like Avocado, Mango or Kiwi is not easy : Their firmness varies from “like stone”
when unripe till “close to jam” when fully mature..
We have designed the firmness tester KALMOS in order to cover this very large range of firmnesses with a good accurayIt usually comes with a 11mm diameter hemispheric tip that protudes by 1mmSo the fruit is deformed by 1 millimeter.. We can say it’s non-destructive, but is that really true ? As the fruit has been deformed and stressed..The pressure capacity goes from 50 grams till 17000 grams, with an accuracy of 10 gramsJust apply the head on the fruit till the metallic abutment, and the data is recordedStatistics are provided, and the measurements are stored on a microSD card under Excel compatible format (.csv) - Agrosta®Kalmos comes witha rechargeable battery and a charger
