Brabender ViscoQuick: Compact, Fast, and Reliable
The Brabender ViscoQuick is a digital torque viscometer that is 25% faster than similar devices. Its integrated PC, touchscreen, and Peltier-based temperature control system save space and reduce costs. With heating and cooling rates of +20 °C / -15 °C per minute, starch gelatinization measurements can be completed in under 10 minutes.
The MetaBridge software enables access and data export from any instrument. ViscoQuick also allows real-time dosing of additives and fast rheological measurements at temperatures below 20 °C. Its comprehensive database supports diverse applications while providing a user-friendly, automated experience.
Key Features
Our Flour and Starch Measurement Instruments Set the Standard
Be confident you’re using instruments from a recognized market leader in flour and starch analysis. This ensures communication in the widely accepted measurement standards, whether in Brabender Units (BU) or universal units like cP and mPa·s.
Turn Waiting Times into Productivity
With ViscoQuick’s rapid heating and cooling rates (-15 °C/min | +20 °C/min), measurements are 25% faster than any other solution on the market and up to 80% faster than previous models—all without sacrificing accuracy. This allows you to determine starch gelatinization and gel formation in under 10 minutes.
MetaBridge: Simplified Data Access
The browser-based MetaBridge software for ViscoQuick ensures the accurate application of standard flour and starch measurement methods. Access your measurements from any device and location, and easily export or share data with colleagues, third-party systems like LIMS and ERP, or via email.
Use a reference curve to monitor starch quality in real time and receive automatic feedback on whether specifications are met. The correlations add-on allows comparison of multiple measurements, giving you a comprehensive understanding of your starch.
Reliable Results Below 20 °C
The ViscoQuick features a unique cooling capability. Unlike conventional devices that only cool down to 50 °C, it can reach temperatures below 20 °C. This allows ready-to-eat products to be analyzed at the exact temperature they will be consumed or processed, such as room or refrigeration temperature.
- Closer-to-reality rheological properties
- Consistent texture at lower temperatures
- Improved product quality
Real-Time Dosing for Added Substance Insights
Our digital viscometer allows real-time dosing during measurement, giving immediate feedback on the effects of added substances. This enables you to monitor and adjust your process on the spot, ensuring optimal outcomes.
- Reduce trial and error with real-time monitoring
- Optimize substance use through instant insights
- Accelerate product development with swift adjustments
