Features and benefits

•Determine gluten quantity and quality - Improve the quality of your finished products.

•Official world standard - Ensure that trade contracts are fulfilled.

•For flour and grain - Determine gluten characteristics both for wheat and flour.

•Measure true gluten - Only the Glutomatic can measure true gluten. In a number of situations

protein content is not indicative of gluten characteristics.

Kason Vibroscreen® circular vibratory screeners (also called separators and sieves) separate bulk solid materials from solids and slurries using multi-plane, inertial vibration that causes particles to pass through apertures in the screen or to travel across the screen surface in controlled pathways.

Typical applications include sifting, scalping, classifying, de-dusting and de-lumping of dry bulk solids, or dewatering of solids-laden slurries.

The Lab Mill 3100 is a hammer type cyclone mill, built into a soundproof casing. An airflow feeder regulates feeding of a sample into a metallic grinding chamber. A hardened steel hammer rotates at high speed, forcing the sample through a stainless-steel sieve. The fine, homogeneous sample is separated from the air in a cyclone and collected in a quick release stainless steel container. The cyclone principle makes the mill self-cleaning and thus cleaning between samples is not normally required. Standard sieve (0.8mm) is used for Falling Number, Glutomatic/Gluten Index and NIR-analyses.
