Materials
Testing Machines:
Lloyd
Instruments is a world leading manufacturer of materials testing machines and
software for tensile, compression, flexural and friction testing.
Used by
manufacturers and universities worldwide, the company supplies powerful test
solutions for evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of materials,
components and finished products. Markets
commonly served include plastics, rubber, food, medical devices,
pharmaceuticals, packaging, metals, building materials, electronic components,
composites etc.

Food
Texture Analysers:
Lloyd
Instruments texture analysers have an international reputation for their high
performance and cost effectiveness. Specially engineered food probes
provide the platform to perform rapid, detailed texture analysis on foods
including bakery, cereals, confectionery, snacks, dairy, fruit and vegetables,
gels, meat, pasta and pet food.
Lloyd
Instruments texture analysis software captures force, distance and time during
the test allowing the calculation of parameters such as:
- adhesion
force
- adhesiveness
- chewiness
- cohesiveness
|
- firmness
- fracturability
- gumminess
- hardness
|
- modulus
- resilience
- springiness
- stringiness
|
The
company also offers Chatillon® force gauges and force
measurement equipment.
