TM-2 & TU
Texture Press and Tenderometer
Measure maturity and texture in a variety
of foods with extreme accuracy and ease
For peak force and work texture measurement, FTC offers the
Model TM-2 Texture press and Deluxe Model TMDX.
These instruments incorporate many new features such as
one-button Auto Cycle operation and work calculations.
Designed exclusively for peas, the Food Technology Corporation
(FTC) Model TU Tenderometer is the industry standard for
determining maturity in fresh peas. It has been proven to be
the most dependable, accurate, and trouble-free system ever
created for grading pea quality.
Features
Automatic Calculations
The FTC Model TU Tenderometer and Model TM-2 Texture
press instruments will automatically calculate and update
‘peak’ or highest force readings incurred during a test. The
optional integral function automatically calculates the ‘area
under the curve’ or work performed on the sample.
Easy-to-use
Profit and savings
Simply load the sample and press ‘RUN’. The system will
provide an easy-to-read digital display directly in
Tenderometer units, pounds of force, or Newtons. Work
measurements are displayed in either inch/pounds or Joules.
Processors worldwide are using the Model TU Tenderometer
to determine harvesting dates, ‘Buy on Grade,’ and to predict
finished quality. With profits at stake, a point or two off the
standard can be very costly. Accurate readings can save
thousands of dollars a day for a medium to large operation,
and quickly pay back the initial investment. FTC offers a
yearly calibration service to maintain accuracy.
Durable, rugged and reliable
Designed to withstand harsh environments, both models will
perform in harsh conditions with a minimum of maintenance.
Plus, the units are easy to operate and almost no training is
required. FTC texture management systems have been in
continuous operation in production environments for more
than 25 years.
