Handheld Fruit Penetrometer

The LANDTEK FHT-1122 is a compact penetrometer designed for measuring fruit and vegetable firmness. Growers and quality-control staff use it to assess ripeness by gauging the force required to plunge into produce pulp. It helps determine optimal picking times and monitor softening during storage. The tool arrives new in a single pack with a red finish.

Data Output and Connectivity

The tester includes a maximum hold function and unit conversion for flexible readings. It connects to a PC via USB or RS-232 interfaces for data logging and analysis. A Bluetooth output option is also provided for wireless transfer. These features integrate the device into existing quality-management workflows without requiring proprietary software.

Sustained Field Operation

The handheld form factor supports repeated measurements across orchards or packing lines. Its design focuses on consistent force application for reliable firmness inference over extended sessions. The instrument serves as a dedicated measurement tool rather than a multi-function electrical tester. Buyers needing general electrical diagnostics or multi-parameter environmental logging should consider other instrument categories.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum force the FHT-1122 can hold and display during a test?

The penetrometer includes a Max Hold function that captures and displays the peak force value measured during each fruit hardness test.

How much heat or noise does the FHT-1122 produce when used continuously for a full day of orchard testing?

As a compact handheld penetrometer with no motor or fan, the FHT-1122 generates negligible heat and operates silently during extended field use.

Which data cable or interface must I already have to transfer readings from the FHT-1122 to a PC?

You will need either a USB cable or an RS-232 serial cable, as the tester provides both USB and RS-232 data output ports for PC connection.
