Overview

Designed specifically for quick and easy texture assessments, the TMS-Pilot provides an affordable solution for texture analysis up to 500 N.

 

Compact, rugged and portable, the motorised TMS-Pilot texture analyzer ensures reliable and repeatable test results.

 

Use the TMS-Pilot to quickly determine the textural properties of bakery products, cereals, confectionery, snacks, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, as well as non-food products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and many more.

 

The TMS-Pilot requires minimum operator training. Supplied with FTC's powerful TL-Pro texture testing software, tests can determine consistent standards within the raw or finished product and programs can be saved for instant recall.

 

The TMS-Pilot can accommodate a range of probes and fixtures (sold separately). Just choose from a range of ‘Plug and Play’ loadcells (sold separately) and start testing your products.
