Based on gluten aggregation kinetics, the Brabender GlutoPeak gluten analyzer delivers a decisive gluten profile in one to three minutes from a 2.5 g to 12 g sample. With the easy add-water-add-sample procedure, you accelerate incoming goods reception and make confident go or no-go decisions for every truckload. The characteristic torque curve values instantly reveal whether a flour or dry gluten sample matches your specs and application requirements – or should be held back, rerouted, or excluded from time-consuming follow-up tests. See at a glance which lots are suited for bread, biscuits, or waffles and keep only the best material in the process.

Key features

Ultra-fast gluten analysis

The Brabender GlutoPeak is designed for speed, delivering clear gluten quality results in just one to three minutes, with a new measurement possible every six minutes. That makes it significantly faster than traditional gluten tests and ideal for high-sample-volume environments. At incoming goods reception and other critical steps, it enables confident, data-driven assessments in near real time. Run extended tests only on promising samples, reduce idle time for trucks and lines, and base every go or no-go decision on robust, reproducible data.

Complete gluten profile from one curve

Instead of a few isolated values, the Brabender GlutoPeak gives you a complete torque curve with peak time, peak height, and torque before and after the maximum. Each section of the curve translates directly into gluten strength and breakdown behavior. See immediately whether a batch will deliver stable bread volume (or softer structures for waffles and biscuits), sort lots into the appropriate silos, fine-tune recipes, predict baking behavior, and release batches with confidence in just a few minutes using only a tiny amount of sample.

Simple two-step measurement workflow

With the Brabender GlutoPeak, gluten testing is a single, closed step. Water and sample are added to the cup and the instrument does the rest. Without sieves or transfers between devices that invite weighing errors or contamination, even challenging fine wholemeal samples are handled cleanly. The “one cup, one curve, one result” method keeps results consistent across operators and shifts, while a streamlined workflow supports fast training, consistent handling, and reproducible, operator-independent gluten results – providing a clear basis for acceptance, blending, or rejection within minutes.

One instrument for flour, vital gluten, and baking mixes

The Brabender GlutoPeak handles vital gluten, flour, and fine wholemeal flour with one intuitive measuring principle. A built-in method database with optimized parameters lets you switch between raw materials in seconds while keeping the same simple workflow. In just a few minutes, you obtain a full gluten aggregation profile to qualify incoming goods, fine-tune recipes, strengthen batch consistency, and secure consistent processing performance and product quality.

MetaBridge for seamless QC workflows

The integrated MetaBridge software turns the Brabender GlutoPeak into a fully connected QC station. Each curve is stored centrally and can be viewed, compared, and exported from any browser – whether you’re in the lab, in the office, or at another site. Automatic data transfer to LIMS and ERP, along with exports in XLSX, CSV, or PDF formats, keeps documentation accurate and workflows efficient. Reference and correlation curves with deviation alerts highlight off-spec lots early, and standardized reports simplify documentation, audits, trend analysis, and KPIs. The result: faster, safer go or no-go decisions and efficient use of lab resources.
