Agrosta Kalmos : Surface

deformation based tester :

Designed for fruits with wide range of hardness :

Like Avocado, Mango, Kiwi, Lemon, Strawberry

Or with thick skin like Orange

Testing fruits like 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 accuray

It usually comes with a 11mm diameter

hemispheric tip that protudes by 1mm

So 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 grams

Just apply the head on the fruit till the metallic

abutment, and the data is recorded

Statistics 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
