Key Features & Benefits

• Electronic Precision: Provides an instant, digital reading that is far more accurate and repeatable than traditional spring-loaded dial testers.

• Peak Hold Function: Automatically locks the highest pressure value on the screen, allowing the operator to focus on the fruit during testing without losing the reading.

• Impact-Resistant Design: Built for field and packing house use, with a rugged housing that can withstand daily agricultural handling.

• Improved Shelf-Life Management: Accurate firmness data helps determine the exact time for harvest, cooling, and shipping, significantly reducing post-harvest waste.

• Portable & Battery Powered: Lightweight and handheld, making it easy to take measurements directly in the orchard or at the receiving bay.
