IDK-7 Gluten Deformation Meter

The IDK - 7 gluten deformation meter is designed to determine the quality of gluten of wheat grains and wheat flour of baking and pasta grinding by the magnitude of its deformation under the influence of a load of a certain value for a given time interval.

The IDK - 7 gluten deformation meter is used in laboratories of grain receiving enterprises, elevators, flour mills, laboratories of the state bread inspection, varietal testing breeding stations, as well as other enterprises whose activities require evaluating the quality of wheat and products derived from it.

IDK - 7 gluten deformation meter manufactured by Altair Plus Private Enterprise has a number of advantages compared to similar devices of other manufacturers. Namely:

- the device has an automatic self-diagnosis mode both at the time of switching on and during operation of the device;

- the device has an automatic calibration mode, which in turn allows to increase the accuracy of the device regardless of the degree and uniformity of wear of mechanical parts. The automatic calibration mode is carried out after a predetermined number of measurements, after turning on / off the device, and when the device exits sleep mode (with long idle time);

- two-line, character LCD display to display all the necessary information (user prompts, measurement results, settings, self-diagnosis errors); 

- all-metal durable dustproof (welded) case;

- dustproof / waterproof buttons (degree of protection of ip66 ISO buttons);
 

You can buy a high-quality meter that determines the gluten deformation of the IDK-7 model, as well as order laboratory equipment for other purposes in Altair Plus PE using the organization’s address, phone numbers or feedback form on the Contact page.

 

 

Wipe the polished surface of the table and the tared load with a soft cloth dampened in water, and then wipe the indicated surfaces with a dry soft cloth. After that, lower the calibrated load on the table. Turn on the device. Wait until the self-calibration mode ends. Measurements can be carried out after inscription on the indicator "Start measurement?". Put the prepared gluten sample strictly in the center of the table. Press the button “MEASUREMENT”. Make sure that there is a drop in the calibrated load on the test sample, and the countdown has begun on the screen.

After 30 seconds, the tared load will rise, the measurement result will appear on the indicator.

Remove the gluten test sample from the table. Remove gluten from the table and tared load with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, prepare a new sample.

If the interval between measurements is long enough, then you can click the PARKING button. The device goes into sleep mode. At the same time, the calibrated load will slowly drop to the table, and the backlight will turn off on the indicator.
