FELIX F-751 Avocado Quality meter

We supply the FELIX range of Fruit Quality Meters to cover most applications including testing the quality of avocados. The F-750 uses state of the art NIR technology to estimate quality metrics such as titratable acidity, interior colour, total soluble solids and dry matter.

The measurement range of the F-751 is 14 to 40% dry matter. The latest firmware upgrade now permits measurement to an accuracy of within 1.15 dry matter (DM) units on a single fruit and 0.83 DM units on fruit in lots of 5.? ?There are similar, specially enginnered meters for mango and kiwi fruit.

The FELIX F-751 Avocado Quality Meter is a revolutionary device engineered to transform the way avocado quality and ripeness are measured. This portable, non-destructive tool offers growers, packers, and retailers a fast, accurate, and consistent method to assess the ripeness and quality of avocados without damaging the fruit. Utilizing near-infrared (NIR) technology, the F-751 Avocado Quality Meter penetrates the avocado’s skin to measure dry matter and assess ripeness levels, providing immediate feedback that correlates closely with the fruit’s taste and texture.

The FELIX F-751 Avocado Quality Meter is designed with precision and ease of use in mind. It features a user-friendly interface and a robust design suitable for field, packing house, or retail environments. The device’s NIR spectroscopy technology offers a non-invasive solution to accurately predict avocado ripeness by measuring the dry matter content—a key indicator of quality and shelf life.

With its rapid analysis capability, the F-751 enables decision-makers to optimize harvest timings, improve sorting and grading processes, and ensure a consistent consumer experience. This meter not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to reducing food waste by improving the accuracy of ripeness prediction.

• Agricultural Production: Helps determine the best harvesting time by providing accurate ripeness measurements.

• Packing and Sorting Facilities: Streamlines the sorting process by categorizing avocados based on precise ripeness levels, reducing waste and improving efficiency.

• Retail: Assures that only the highest quality avocados reach the consumer, maintaining customer satisfaction and reducing returns.

• Quality Control Labs: Provides consistent and reliable measurements that aid in maintaining standards across the supply chain.

Step 1: Charging and SetupCharge the F-751 meter using the provided charger until fully charged.Power on the device and follow the on-screen setup instructions to calibrate if necessary.

Step 2: Selecting the Measurement ModeChoose the appropriate measurement mode based on the avocado variety you are testing. The device can store different calibration models for various avocado types.

Step 3: Taking a MeasurementHold the meter against the avocado you wish to test, ensuring full contact with the fruit’s surface.Press the measurement button to start the analysis. The device will use NIR technology to assess the dry matter content.

Step 4: Reading the ResultsThe meter will display the dry matter percentage and ripeness level on its screen immediately after measurement.Use the results to make informed decisions regarding the avocado’s ripeness and quality.

Step 5: Data ManagementThe F-751 allows for the storage and export of measurement data for further analysis or record-keeping.Connect the device to a computer via USB to download the data for your records.
