Brabender Aqua-Inject: Tuning for Farinography

With the new Aqua-Inject, Brabender® has made a big step in the direction of measurable reliability in the field of rheology. This patented technological component is an ideal add-on module to augment tried-and-tested Farinograph®-E-Technology. Exact and reproducible water dosages are an essential prerequisite for exact measurements of the water absorption levels of milled products and evaluating the kneading properties of doughs. With the Aqua-Inject, Brabender® now offers a self-sufficient device for the automatic dosage of water with integrated temperature monitoring. The software doses fluids electronically and accurately “down to the drop” according to specifications and input. In this manner, any possible operating errors when measuring and introducing amounts of water via pipettes or burettes are eliminated - previously, this could cause undesirable errors in accuracy.
The automatic determination of amounts of water according to preselected analysis standard guarantees the highest amount of accuracy with a dosing deviation of under 0.1 percent. This increases the reliability and reproducibility of measurement results and fulfils the requirements of all international and national standards, e.g. ICC, AACC or ISO.
 
Technology-Duo via USB
For the kneading process, the temperature curve is a crucial parameter and planning value. The technology built into the Aqua-Inject allows for a parallel temperature monitoring of the dosing water, eliminating yet another source of error and filling a documentation gap in the experimental procedure. Independent of the ambient temperature, the water dosed is at a virtually constant temperature, which can be set via the Farinograph® thermostats. The optimally “regulated” amounts and temperatures of water titrated in the kneader are recorded by a special software program, the latest version of which is installed along with the Aqua-Inject. In addition, a USB cable connection guarantees smooth communications between the Farinograph®-E (USB) and the Aqua-Inject port - a “tuning package” with extra functionality for practical and current laboratory applications of farinogram analysis according to the established Brabender® technique.
