Texturometer: EZ SX from Shimadzu. This texturometer is ideal for testing food products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, household items, electrical or electronic parts, plastics and rubbers. With a wide range of testing speeds, this texturometer can accommodate all sorts of evaluation testing applications.

Shimadzu EZ-SX Texture analyzer

Shimadzu EZ SX Texturometers are designed to achieve the highest accuracy and reliability to meet the requirements of European, American and all other DIN, EN, ISO, ASTM, JIS, IS, etc. standards over a long service life, not only in the main measured quantities of force, travel, but also elongation and more.
One of the main purposes of the development of this testing machine was to be able to analyze texture.

Texturometer

For use of the texture analyzer in the food and pharmaceutical industry, the TEXTURE software module has been developed to measure and evaluate (predefined results), in addition to standard quantities such as Fmax, requirements:

Food industry (energy / force required for bite, food quality for cooking, peeling resistance, toughness and brittleness of food, crispiness, breaking work, tenderness, gumminess and chewiness)
Pharmaceutical industry (tablet hardness, the force required to break a tablet – powder
squeezing the liquid out of the syringe, strength of the packaging material, force required to push out of the packaging, needle puncture, measurement of the quality of medical devices (needles, condoms, sutures)
Other industries (strength of gypsum, binders and similar powder materials, bending strength of the sample (possibility of connecting a deflection sensor), E-module tensile strength (possibility to connect a tensile tester)

Key Features and Specs

Key features of the texturometer:

New design (EZ-SX size fits easily on table, lower height, larger work space)
