The Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) is the most effective instrument available today for determining the cooked viscous properties of starch, grain, flour and foods, designed from the ground up to make viscometric data acquisition simple.

The instrument will analyse as little as two or three grams of sample using international standard methods your own tailor-made profiles of mixing, measuring, heating and cooling.

Combining speed, precision, flexibility and automation, the RVA is a unique tool for product development, quality control, process control and quality assurance.

RVA-StarchMaster2

RVA-StarchMaster2 is the affordable viscometer for food and starch testing, packaging the best RVA features into an easy to use, stand alone format. It is ideal for the routine testing of viscous properties of starches, cereals and foods plus applications in the brewing, foods and feeds and ingredients industries. RVA-StarchMaster2 is also well suited to pre-harvest weather damage (a-amylase activity) testing in grains and flours, such as wheat, barley and rye, providing a rapid, simple and objective test for grain soundness using the AACC, ICC and RACI approved 3-minute Stirring Number test.

RVA-StarchMaster2 can be upgraded to add TCW version 3 software.

RVA-4

Explore starch pasting profiles, protein quality and mini-batch cooking applications using as little as two grams of sample. Offers the widest range of shear and viscosity for demanding research and development applications, product development, quality control, process control and quality assurance requirements. Flexible software for experiment design, instrument control and data analysis. Now with Thermocline for Windows version 3 software.

RVA-TecMaster

Economical, flexible, and compact viscometer for production, education, quality testing and research and development laboratories. Rheology and viscosity applications for flour milling & baking, brewing, extruded and cooked foods and feeds, protein quality, gelling and thickening of gums, starch quality in grains tubers and roots, cook tests, melt tests and bench top "miniature pilot plant" production routines.

Comes with new Thermocline for Windows version 3 software.

RVA-Super4

Optimised for high sensitivity and stability down to 10 cP for researchers and food product innovators. Variable shear rates and multi-cycle heating and cooling combine to reveal more about your product's rheological profile and viscosity performance. Perform cook tests, melt tests and benchtop " miniature pilot plant" production routines. Applications include paper, packaging and food starches, sauces, ketchups, gravies, dressings, mayonnaises, soups, dairy foods, beverages plus non starchy foods and ingredients based on hydrocolloids, proteins or combinations of thickeners, texturisers and stabilisers.

Supplied standard with Thermocline for Windows version 3 software.
