Equipment

INSTRON 6022 strength testing machine

 

  • Testing strength of materials under static loads
  • Axial testing: compression, stretching, bending, creeping and stress relaxation
  • Determination of forces, deformation, energy and elastic modulus of examined materials
  • Operating speed: 0-1000 mm/min, force range 10 kN (precision 0.1%), operating space 1635 mm (precision 0.1%)

Examples of use:

  • Model research, strength assessment, analysis of flexibility, flowing and stress relaxation of plant, animal, dairy, construction and dental materials
  • Comparative assessment of mechanical properties of crops, determination of strength parameters of structural components used in agriculture and agricultural and food processing machines and equipment

INSTRON 8872 strength testing machine

 

  • Strength testing of materials under static and dynamic loads
  • Axial testing: compression, stretching, breaking, creeping, flowing, fatigue and cyclic
  • Force range 25 kN, operating range 50 mm, frequency up to 50 Hz

Examples of use:

  • Model and fatigue research, strength assessment, analysis of flexibility, flowing and creeping of any materials under static and dynamic loads
  • Comparative assessment of mechanical properties of apples, raspberries, and sprouts of flowers and rape

Lovibond CAM-System 500 imaging colorimeter

 

  • Records objects image at a resolution of 752 x 582 pixels and saves each pixel in as RGB components
  • Measures sizes and shapes of objects
  • The time domain screen enables capturing an image sequence at defined intervals and as on-line playback
  • Assessment of heterogeneous or variable colour of the objects which cannot be measured with conventional spectrometers. Allows recording the entire or selected areas FOV image of the sample
  • Sample size: 240 x 280 x 120 mm
  • Measurement time: 1-2 s
  • The contact-free system ensures that the consistency and texture of objects do not affect the measurement results

Examples of use:

  • Examination, analysis and assessment of colours of any material
  • Quality testing of various products, including fruits and vegetables. Quantitative assessment of colour and appearance – a quality control system which enables the user to decide if tested products meet the required criteria of colour and appearance

Supercolor Braive 6016 colorimeter

 

  • Instrumental measurement of colours in the visible range of reflected light using the L*a*b* colour system by CIE in laboratory or field tests
  • Measurement field diameter: 11 mm

Examples of use:

  • Examination of the impact of agricultural technology, harvest, transport, storage and shelf-live of fruits and vegetables on behavior of optical properties of product surface
  • Qualitative assessment and classification of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables
