The Fruit Firmness Tester by NextGen is a versatile tool that can be used to test a variety of fruits. The system can measure the firmness of hard and soft fruits, including but not limited to apples, pears, peaches, kiwifruit, mangoes, avocados, strawberries, grapes, and cherries.

For hard fruits such as apples and pears, the tester is equipped with an 11 mm plunger designed to penetrate the fruit’s skin and measure its firmness. For softer fruits like peaches and strawberries, a 3 mm plunger is used to ensure accurate readings without damaging the fruit.

The Fruit Firmness Tester from NextGen Material Testing can also be used to test other types of fruits, such as avocados, which require a different testing method due to their unique texture. The device is equipped with a specialized adaptor to hold the avocado in place while the firmness is measured.
