This small and very manageable tool is perfectly fit to detect proper picking maturity and control fruit softening during cold storage. Fruit firmness is the universally accepted measure of ripeness and the FT Fruit-Tester is the world wide recognized tester. The FT Fruit-Tester measures the penetration and squashing of fruit pulp using a tip of 1 cm square (7/ 16" ; 11mm diam) or 1/2 cm square (5/16" ; 8 mm diam) giving one of the most attendible test available, such pressure is measured in pounds and Kilograms. In divising this FT Fruit-Tester our firm (formerly known as EFFEGI) has based the project on the research made by Magnus-Taylor and asked the cooperation and advices of the University of Milan. Minimum size, peak force hold, direct control of correctness, hand held or drill press mounted use, double set of readings (Kg. and lb.) on the dial, button commanded indicator and extreme accuracy of execution make it one of the most practical and accurate Fruit-Testers available.
