Wine Filterability Appliance |
|
Introduction |
Increase laboratory productivity by automating your filterability analyses with the reliable and compact
Wine Filterability Appliance. Economical and simple to use, the appliance connects to a laboratory balance
equipped with a serial interface module. Start the wine flowing, press enter, and the appliance will accumulate the
data, calculate the linear, exponential, and power models, display the results on-screen, and print the results on a
compact 40-character printer.
The turnkey solution eliminates configuration problems and makes it easy to standardize the process across multiple sites. The compact size takes up minimal counter space. The operating system and software are installed on flash memory, no floppy hard or hard drives are needed. As a result, the system is completely secure and immune to infection.
The appliance uses four shock-mounts as feet, it can be placed behind the display or mounted on the wall or under a shelf. Keyed connectors make setup easy. Short power cables (12") are provided to reduce wiring clutter
