Brabender is a leading global manufacturer of measurement and process engineering solutions for testing the quality of various raw materials as well as for the development and optimization of products, formulations, methods, and processes. In August 2023, Brabender was acquired by Anton Paar.
The 3-Phase System
The Brabender FarinoGraph is one of the world’s most important and well-known instruments for determining the water absorption of flour and the rheological properties of dough. The accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of the test results are important for the technical dialogue in successful business relationships between manufacturers and suppliers of flour products in increasingly global markets.
As part of Brabender’s proven 3-Phase System, the FarinoGraph, together with the Extensograph and Amylograph, provides a holistic and practical demonstration of the production of bakery and pasta products on a laboratory scale.
Brabender’s latest generation FarinoGraph stands out above all for its modular and ergonomic design, its application versatility and modern technology for efficient and user-friendly test performance. Precise measurement results with a high information content are achieved. You can personalize your FarinoGraph according to your needs and requirements. You have full control over temperatures, speeds, methods, and evaluations. The optional AquaInject is an automatic water dosing system that is perfectly integrated into the process flow of the FarinoGraph and makes daily work much easier.
