Key features
Benefits at a Glance
- Safety multi-function head for simultaneous positioning
- Draining system
- Thermal protection shield
- 5-test station metal heating block
- Air and steam flow calibration sets (optional)
Convenient Operation
- The multi-function head was designed for the safe and simultaneous positioning of all 5 pre-adjusted jet tubes. No manual handling and assembling of the hot conical jet tubes is required. After one turn only, all tubes are in their resting, pre-heating or working position. The position of the handle assures that neither steam nor hot air is hazardous to the operator.
- Safe withdrawal of condensed water from sample beakers and the compensation of uncontrolled steam eruptions is assured by an efficient draining system.
- Over-temperature protection cut-off.
Customized User Flexibility
- Two different versions of Gum content testers are available:
- A model for tests with air supply
- A model with air and steam supply - Be aware that, depending on the model of your choice, the following accessories are required:
- Rotary compressor (for air supply)
- Steam generator and water demineralization apparatus
(the microprocessor-controlled ion exchange assembly supplies soft water for the steam generator's storage tank)
