Optimum reproduction of measurement conditions thanks to automatic temperature control and dosing
With the Farinograph-AT, integrated water dosing makes operation and carrying out the measuring procedure easier, thanks to automatic temperature control and dosing. Water is not fed in using a burette, and therefore with errors, but is instead adjustable thanks to automatic titration (AT – automatic water dosing).
The 2-litre storage tank is easy to remove. This easy to maintain solution offers separate options for measuring the temperature of dosing fluid and dough.
The range of compatible measuring attachments offers a wide spectrum of uses.
- Measures the energy input
- Automatic water dosing: Measurement conditions are easy to reproduce
- Advanced software applications
- Continuous speed control from 0-200 rpm
- Measurement range of up to 20 Nm
- Digital 3-zone temperature display
- Robust and adaptable thanks to the widest range of measuring attachments

Principle
In a temperature-controlled measuring kneader, a rotating Sigma kneading blade subjects the sample to defined mechanical stress. The kneading resistance having an effect on the blades, which depends on the sample’s viscosity, is measured as a torque value by the highly precise measurement electronics. The software then registers and records this online as a function of time, in a clear to understand coloured chart.
