E30-FP III

The E30-FP is specifically designed to address the special requirements associated with evaluating color changes relative to the frying process of French Fried Potatoes.

The Agtron E30-FP is a ratioing abridged spectrophotometer which replaces the industry standard Agtron E15-FP.  The E30-FP is a direct reading reflectance abridged spectrophotometer designed to provide the ratio of reflectance of a product in two spectral modes, near infrared and green. The ratio is automatically computed and digitally displayed as a single number.

Operation
The E30-FP uses state of the art optics and electronics.  It is designed to provide a high degree of consistency between units and years of accurate dependable service. Sample analysis is made by placing the product in the sample cup, place the sample cup in the drawer, and then slide the drawer into the instrument.

New Design based on 20 years
The new E30 Series analyzer is an all new design available configured as a direct replacement for all previous E15 models. The redesign is the result of 20 years of customer experience and feedback from the use of the E15.

New Features
The many improvements to the E30-FP include solid state lamps, fully automated calibration, data storage capability, and a dual microprocessor design. For a full list of the new features, download the New Model Features pdf file.

The E30FP-III analyzer evaluates potato par-fry and post-fry processes by applying an inverse function of selected wavelengths of energy absorbed by the surface of a product sample. The relationship of these wavelengths, when processed through an algorithm, correlates to a composite analysis of both par-fry/re-fry and appearance as it associates with the process thermal progression. Analyzer scores are presented as an easy to interpret single number, where lower number scores represent increased process, and higher number scores represent less process.
