Bastak Gluten Index (Centrifuge) 2100
Gluten Index is used in determining the quality of wet gluten.
Description
- Gluten Index is used in determining the quality of wet gluten.
- In this way, it is possible to separate into the groups the samples of wheat and flour according to the qualities of wet gluten.
- Furthermore, the device gives opinion about the sunn pest destruction of the samples of wheat and flour.
- The device is controlled by the micro-processor.
- The device has a blue LCD screen. The device has 6 function buttons.
- On the device’s screen, date, hour, environment temperature, test duration, device operating revolution and operation status of the device (ready, testing, stop...etc.) can be displayed.
- The device has to reach to 6000 revolution that is the world standard in 8 seconds and has to operate in 6000 revolution during the remaining 52 seconds period.
- It doesn’t operate until the cover is closed due to the security system on its cover, and a warning is displayed on the screen.
- Furthermore, the cover is locked automatically after it starts to operate.
- It automatically stops with the braking system after operating period and gives audible warning.
- The instrument is working with the world standards methods Gluten Index Method for Assessing Gluten Strength in Durum Wheat (Triticum Durum)
- The description specifies a method for the mechanical preparation of wet gluten and the subsequent determination of the Gluten Index as a measure of gluten characteristics. The method is applicable to durum whole meals and semolina.
- Principle:
- Gluten separated from durum whole meals or semolina by Glutomatic (Perten Gluten Index Centrifuge 2015) is centrifuged to force wet gluten through a specially constructed sieve under standardized conditions. The percentage of wet gluten remaining on the sieve after centrifugation is defined as the Gluten Index. If the gluten is very weak all of the gluten may pass through the sieve, the Gluten Index is 0. When nothing passes through the sieve, the Index is 100.
- The outside dimensions of the device are 200x210x300 mm and its net weight is 8 kg.
