Versatile use and precise results
For decades now, the Viscograph-E has been the worldwide standard device for temperature-based and time-based measurement of the viscosity of starch and products containing starch.
Examination of your sample using this well-established solution provides you with a detailed characteristics profile of your test material that goes far beyond just the gelatinisation of the starch.
Thanks to the automatic programme sequence and comprehensive configuration options, your tests are carried out easily and conveniently.
You can create as many individual temperature, time and speed programmes, as well as analysis profiles, as you like.
The measuring probe is placed directly in the sample, which guarantees the highest degree of measurement accuracy and reproducibility of the analyses carried out.
 
  • Convenient measurement and analysis software
  • Programmable speed profiles
  • Reliable, reproducible measurement results
  • Save any number of temperature programmes
  • Heating and cooling rates from 0.5–3°C per min
  • Electronic speed control from 0–300 rpm
  • Anaysis in BU, mPar or cmg

Viscograph-E

Quantity

  • Principle

    The sample is heated up within a rotating stainless steel bowl and cooled down again, both under controlled conditions. Together with the comfortable Windows software, the integrated, self-optimizing temperature controller allows programming and storage of any temperature profiles with heating/ cooling rates of 0.5...3 °C/min. A measuring sensor reaching into the sample is deflected according to the viscosity of the sample in the bowl. This deflection is measured as torque

    Specific parameters of the Viscogram

    Get reliable and reproducible data about the rheological properties of your material – thick or thin boiling, different thickening capacities, gelification, high or low hot and cold viscosity, stability, etc..

    The following criteria are measured:

    • Beginning of gelatinization 
    • Gelatinization maximum
    • Gelatinization temperature
    • Viscosity during holding
    • Viscosity at the end of cooling

     

    Optimise laboratory processes with the MetaBridge Controller extension

    The Brabender MetaBridge Controller extension enables you to use the new Brabender MetaBridge device software.

    All models with a USB port can be upgraded. The extension is connected to the equipment via USB – completely plug and play, so no need for installation.

    You benefit from many advantages:

    • Multiple users can simultaneously access the measurements, wherever in the world they may find themselves.
    • The software offers comprehensive export functions, and the user interface adapts to every type of terminal device.
    • Countless settings are intuitive to configure.
