Hear From Our Customers

Dr Mawele Shamaila, Nestle USA

“Nestle purchased a texture system in 2006. Since then I have recommended the texture system to several vendors in North and Central America. Staff were able to develop a simple training manual and procedure for the texture system allowing easy training in short period of time.  Since we bought the equipment we have had no problems and feel very secure knowing that we can count on their support and service.”

Patricia Sparks, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Practice at The University of Arizona

“The University of Arizona’s Nutritional Sciences Food Lab acquired a Texture Analyser about 5 years ago. The company has a great product, which is tailored to food needs.  We have used the Texture Analyser for both research projects and as a tool to demonstrate to students how food manufacturers can employ objective testing in product evaluation to show how differing ingredients in the same product can affect quality attributes. Its use adds another dimension to the foods labs.  Thanks for a great product and great service.”

Easy to Use

Operated via an intuitive touch screen interface, the TMS-Pilot requires minimal operator training. Tests are performed at the touch of an icon and programs can be saved as “favorites” on the main screen for instant accessibility.  With a plug and play design, the TMS-Pilot has a simple set up, allows loadcells to be interchanged in seconds and accepts the majority of FTC’s probes and fixtures.
 

Versatile and Affordable

Designed with the budget-conscious in mind, the TMS-Pilot has the capabilities needed to perform basic texture testing of most food products, including: bakery, cereals, confections, snacks, dairy, fruits and vegetables, meats, gels and more.
