Product Description

Fruit Hardness Tester Series

GY-4 Digital Fruit Hardness Tester, Penetrometer, Sclerometer

Keywords: fruit hardness tester, digital fruit penetrometer, GY-4 sclerometer, fruit firmness tester, fruit maturity tester

GY-4 digital fruit hardness tester (penetrometer / sclerometer) for accurate, repeatable fruit firmness and maturity inspection.

The GY-4 series fruit penetrometer is specially designed for inspecting the hardness of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, strawberry, grape and so on. Judging the hardness and maturity of the fruits helps with breeding, storage, export, transport and processing. They are widely used by fruit research departments, fruit companies, fruit farms and colleges.

Caution: Do not apply load beyond the rated range. If the sensor is damaged and further heavy load is applied, parts may break, which may cause accident.

Key Features

1.  High accuracy and resolution — precise firmness readings for reliable quality control.

2.  Peak hold function — captures and locks the maximum reading.

3.  Peak automatic clearance function — convenient for continuous testing.

4.  Tolerance limit (up and down limit) — pass/fail judgment against set thresholds.

5.  Automatic power off function — extends battery life.

6.  3 units available — N, kg and lb switchable.

7.  Full range 150% overload — robust for hard-fruit testing.

8.  Reset acceleration of gravity function — adapts to local gravity.

9.  LCD screen turn direction function — readable from any angle.

10.  Large memory (896 value data) — stores measurement history.

11.  Inductive background light — clear reading in low light.

12.  Output signal to control motorized test stand — for automated testing.

13.  RS-232C to USB port — connects to PC with synchronous analysis software for graphs, storage, printing and analysis.
