In the competitive pet food industry, quality control and innovation go hand-in-hand. The TEX-01 Texture Analyzer for Pet Food by Cell Instruments Co., Ltd. provides the precision and flexibility needed to evaluate and improve product texture—ensuring pets receive nutritious, safe, and palatable food products every time.
Texture isn't just a human food concern—it’s vital in the pet food texture testing process too. Animals respond to specific textures based on breed, age, species, and dietary needs. Whether it’s dry dog kibble, soft canned cat food, or specialized aquaculture feed, analyzing mechanical properties like measuring pet food firmness, cohesiveness, brittleness, and chewability is essential for R&D, sensory evaluation, and quality assurance.
The TEX-01 is an advanced, computer-controlled instrument that quantifies the mechanical characteristics of a wide variety of pet food forms. Equipped with interchangeable probes and fixtures, this texture analyzer for pet food supports dozens of test methods that comply with global standards.
High-precision force sensors for sensitive measurement
Customizable test profiles and parameters
User-friendly software interface
Multi-sample compatibility: kibbles, pellets, chews, tablets, and more
Whether you’re improving bite resistance for canine dental treats or studying crumble resistance in aquaculture feed, the TEX-01 provides reproducible results across all animal nutrition analysis tasks.
Product innovation often requires reformulating existing recipes to improve palatability or nutritional balance. Using the TEX-01, developers can rapidly test multiple prototypes and understand how ingredient changes impact texture.
In QC settings, the analyzer detects batch-to-batch texture variations, ensuring every package of kibble or pet biscuit matches the expected standards in pet food texture testing.
Beyond traditional food products, the TEX-01 supports animal nutrition analysis for veterinary supplements and wellness items. It’s ideal for testing:
Chewability of supplements
Hardness of tablets
Friability of granules
Adhesion strength of veterinary bio-adhesives
Cell Instruments Co., Ltd. has developed the TEX-01 to offer unparalleled flexibility. It’s the right solution for research labs, manufacturers, and veterinary nutrition companies looking to streamline their testing workflows while ensuring accuracy, traceability, and compliance with international standards.
When texture consistency influences everything from product acceptance to shelf life and animal health, investing in the right equipment matters. The TEX-01 texture analyzer for pet food is a reliable, multi-functional tool that empowers professionals in food science and quality control. Whether your focus is innovation, compliance, or nutritional impact, the TEX-01 has you covered.
