Analyser combines the properties of a rheometer with a newly developed environmental system specially designed for the needs of starch testing
The Physica SmartStarch analyser takes viscosity testing during starch gelation to new levels of accuracy and reproducibility. The SmartStarch analyser combines the outstanding and well-established properties of a Physica MCR rheometer with a newly developed environmental system specially designed for the needs of starch testing.
The starch cell offers fast heating and cooling ramps (up to 30C/min) for temperature-sensitive samples such as starch suspensions.
A special stirrer prevents sedimentation in the liquid phase.
The combination of the excellent temperature characteristics of the starch cell with the precision and accuracy of a modern state-of-the-art Physica MCR rheometer provides unprecedented reproducibility for the viscosity testing of starches.
A special pressure option allows the rapid cooking of the sample up to 150C.
Tailor-made test programs allow the emulation of all real process conditions.
The software allows fully automated testing and features an optional Lims/Sap module as well as all rheological test modes available on a modern rheometer.
In addition to these superior technical features, the Physica SmartStarch analyser provides other benefits such as the small sample volume required (20ml), the low cost of operation, and robust design suited for extensive testing.
