F-751 Melon Quality Meter



The F-751 Melon Quality Meter provides rapid, non-destructive measurement of melon quality, enabling modern maturity assessment in seconds. Quickly and accurately evaluate melon ripeness without damaging the fruit.

Post-Harvest Quality Assurance

Inspect incoming lots and monitor melon quality parameters in cold storage, ripening rooms, and distribution centers.

Crop Management and Harvest Timing

Accurately measure °Brix-the melon’s primary quality and maturity attribute in seconds to support data-driven harvest planning.

Crop Breeding and Research

Rapidly collect internal melon quality data for high-throughput phenotyping, breeding, and analytical research.
