F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter
The F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter provides rapid, non-destructive measurement of kiwifruit quality, enabling faster and smarter harvest planning and packing. Confidently assess kiwifruit maturity without the need for preemptive laboratory testing.
Post-Harvest Quality Assurance
Inspect incoming lots and evaluate key quality parameters in cold storage, ripening rooms, and distribution centers.
Crop Management and Harvest Timing
Accurately measure kiwifruit quality—dry matter, °Brix, and hue angle—in seconds to support data-driven harvest planning.
Crop Breeding and Research
Rapidly collect internal quality data for high-throughput phenotyping, breeding, and analytical research.
