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.
Using near-infrared (NIR) technology, the F-751 evaluates fruit quality in seconds, eliminating the need for slow, labor-intensive, and destructive testing methods like weighing and drying. 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.
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 five. Similar, specially engineered meters are available for mango and kiwi fruit.
