Special version to measure the quality of tomato-based products

The CR-410T handheld tomato colorimeter is a specialty colour measuring instrument used to determine the colour and quality of tomato products such as sauce, paste, juice, and ketchup. This instrument uses a specific colour index that follows USDA standards.

The CR-410T is a tristimulus colorimeter that measures colour using filters with a close match to the spectral sensitivity function of the human eye. Using this technology, operators can achieve traceable measurement data for colour and colour difference that correlates with human perception.

The device firmware contains a colour index approved by the USDA for grading the colour of processed tomato products, simplifying the colour data to present the user with one number to determine quality and grade from batch to batch.

Designed to be used for colour control of raw tomato, sauce, paste, juice and ketchup, ideal for procurement, goods in, lab, production or QC to produce a consistent and appealing colour.

Features

Ø 50mm measuring aperture: averages a large area for repeatable results.

Built-in backlit LCD display: colour index, colour measurement, colour difference and tolerance data are plainly displayed and visible even in dark conditions.

Custom sample cup: ensure repeatable measurements and best practice sample presentation.

Battery or AC Power: The CR-410C can be powered either by AAA batteries or AC power in order to minimise downtime.

Enhanced reporting and storage via PC: connect the system to optional SpectraMagic NX software to present data in standard or user generated templates.
