TR01 – Tomato Analyzer
BX/ PH / COLOR ANALYSIS OF THE INCOMING TOMATOES
DESCRIPTION
The TR01 grinding unit is one of the most important elements of the Maselli SV01 quality control station for the check of the quality of the raw tomatoes delivered at the processing plant. In its maximum configuration, the TR01, after having reduced the tomato to juice, can automatically determine Brix, pH, color and the quantity of lycopene of the sample. The “all in one” solution means that the installation times and costs are reduced to an absolute minimum and it makes transfer and reinstallation in other areas quick and easy: all together, these functions make this a unique system easy to be handled and serviced. The TR01 can be delivered in 2 different configurations:
- when integrated in the SV01 station, it is directly controlled by the PLC;
- when delivered as a stand alone unit, it comes with a remote pushbutton panel so that it can be activated an interfaced with the data acquisition system.
BENEFITS
- Modular sensors (upgradable in steps)
- Automatic grinding of the tomatoes
- Proven construction
- Easy service
- PC to handle the system operation
