Brookfield Engineering celebrates their 75th anniversary in 2009! Brookfield is the world’s leading manufacturer of rotational viscometers and rheometers used by Quality Control Labs, R&D Departments, Government organizations and academic institutions. In addition many manufacturing companies use Brookfield In-Line viscometers to continuously monitor and control viscosity while materials are being processed. In most countries throughout the world, Brookfield is the preferred supplier of viscosity measurement instrumentation. Experienced dealers have supported the Brookfield product line for many years, providing helpful and timely support to customer applications. The well-known trademarks of Brookfield products are reasonable pricing and high quality workmanship. Brookfield has branched into new areas by adding the CT3 Texture Analyzer into the product mix. This instrument provides the perfect compliment to their line of R&D and QC testing instrumentation as it imitates many human testing conditions that a traditional viscometer cannot offer, namely compression and tension. Brookfield’s CT3 Texture Analyzer is the most powerful, lowest cost, stand alone Texture Analyzer ever produced. This new generation features the traditional Compression Mode and a new Tension Mode so manufacturers can test their products (from crackers to sauces to meat products and more) as well as packaging. The large vertical work area of the CT3 is ideal for large sample placement. It allows for increased travel distance maximizing the functionality of the new Tension Mode. The CT3 offers load cells with expanded range capability from 100 grams to 50 kilograms. There are seven built-in test modes, a wide choice of accessories and an optional software package. In the viscosity world Brookfield’s highly popular DV-II+Pro Viscometer has been updated with a contemporary look in shape, an exciting color scheme and keypad layout. The DV-II+Pro features bi-directional communication between a PC and the instrument. By utilizing Brookfield’s Rheocalc software with the DV-II+Pro, advanced test methods and detailed data collection/analysis are controlled directly through a dedicated computer. The Sanitary AST-100FG for In-Line Product Quality Control is designed for cleanability, ease of use and low maintenance. The AST-100 Food Grade Viscometer is rugged, reliable and conforms to 3A standards. With no moving parts, the AST-100FG provides continuous in-line viscosity measurement, while dramatically minimizing operator involvement. This generation of sophisticated Brookfield Viscometers, Rheometers and Texture Analyzers sets world standards for fast, accurate, reliable measurement and control. Brookfield enjoys a worldwide reputation for accuracy, repeatability, reliability and quality all at an affordable price.
