Bohlin Instruments introduces the CP180 temperature control module, suitable for simulating the conditions when processing foodstuffs
For fluids applications, Bohlin Instruments has introduced the CP180, a rapid, Peltier based, temperature control module with coaxial cylinders (cup and bob geometries).
The CP180 is designed for use with the Bohlin CVO and C-VOR rheometers.
For the vast majority of fluids applications, the CP180 dispenses with the need for a separate fluids circulator for use with cylinder geometries.
The new system differs from conventional units in its ability to effect very rapid changes in the test temperature. Ramping rates of up to 30C per minute can be achieved with the new unit with a maximum temperature of 180C.
This makes the CP180 especially suitable for applications such as starch and other foodstuffs where very rapid changes in temperature are required in order to simulate processing conditions.
Several removable sample cup sizes are available for flexibility and ease of cleaning.
The CP180 is available as a simple retrofit to existing CVO and C-VOR users.
