The NextGen fruit firmness tester is a handheld device that measures the firmness of fruit by applying a small amount of pressure to the fruit’s surface. The device uses a small plunger attached to a spring-loaded mechanism inside the tester. When the plunger is pressed against the fruit’s surface, the spring is compressed, and the device records the force required to compress the spring.
To use the NextGen fruit firmness tester, the user simply places the plunger on the surface of the fruit and presses down gently until the plunger reaches the fruit’s flesh. The device will display a reading of the firmness of the fruit in units of pressure, typically in Newtons or pounds-force.
The tester can be calibrated for different types of fruit and can be adjusted to accommodate variations in fruit size and shape. Moreover, proper calibration before use to ensure accurate readings is a must!
