Portable Nondestructive Fruit Quality Meter

Portable Nondestructive Fruit Quality Meter(H-100C)

Portable Nondestructive Fruit Quality Meter

Non-destructive, Brix / Dry Matter (DM) monitoring for fruits!

The SUNFOREST H-100 series is a range of field portable NIR spectrometer that can non-destructively measure internal quality of fruits such as Brix, Dry Matter, Moisture, etc.
The H-100 series can be widely used from orchard to fresh market as a useful tool determining produce quality at every application. It could provide very simple and rapid bulk testing, helping growers to determine when to harvest on orchard and also allowing supply chains to carry out import inspections. Trusted by thousands of clients in the fruit industry, the SUNFOREST H-100C has proven to be a reliable instrument for determining and tracking fruit quality metrics.  It can detect fruit quality in up to 10 varieties and types of fruits.

Portable Nondestructive Fruit Quality Meter(H-100F)

Portable Nondestructive Fruit Quality Meter

Non-destructive, Brix and Browing monitoring for multiple fruit types and varieties

The H-100 is a portable, non-destructive instrument that measures the internal quality of fruit using semi-transmissive, diffuse reflection, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic analysis technology. It can be used to help determine harvest times and to make decisions based on the analysis of fruit growth quality in the orchard.

Trusted by thousands of clients in the fruit industry, the SUNFOREST H-100F has proven to be a reliable instrument for determining and tracking Brix, Dry Matter (DM), and Browning (Apples). A demonstration model is included for the fruit that you select.  A bias correction should be made by comparing the nondestructive prediction to the actual value of the juicing refractometer.  If desired, models can be upgraded to your exact fruit variety.
