Rapid Visco Analyzer 4500 / 4800

Rapid Visco Analyser is a unique tool for product development, quality and process control and quality assurance. It’s a cooking, stirring viscometer with ramped temperature and variable shear capability optimized for testing the viscous properties of starch, grain, dairy products and other foods. The instrument will analyze as little as two or three grams of sample using international standard methods or your own tailor-made test routines of mixing, measuring, heating and cooling.

RVA 4800 is our top-of-the-range model which combines a wide viscosity range, exceptional sensitivity and accuracy, and an extended temperature range (up to 140°C). This makes the RVA 4800 a perfect tool for performing more relevant analyses for a variety of applications, including ingredient (eg. starch and hydrocolloid) performance under conditions relevant to ultra-high-temperature (UHT) pasteurization of dairy and food products, retorting, pressure cooking, extrusion and other aseptic processing conditions. The RVA 4500 offers the same performance as the RVA 4800, designed for applications where the maximum temperature is 99.9C
