The Bareiss HPE-III Fff non destructive fruit firmness tester. It is easy to use and is an indispensible tool for primary producers when checking a crop is ready for harvest. 

Made in Germany to the highest standard for relaibility and accuracy. And because it is non destructive, there is no product wastage for sampling.

It is also extremely valuable throughout the various stages of selling such as at the market for quality control and price setting, through to end user QA at the shop front. It allows the user to quickly ascertain ripeness without damaging the fruit by depressing a test anvil against the skin which measures the resistance against a controlled spring pressure.

To improve the accuracy of results, the HPE-III Fff is able to exclude measuring faults where there has not been constant contact pressure. 

It is important to specify the type of fruit you are measuring as different fruits require different shape / size test anvils.  There are five different anvils available and one (of choice) is supplied with the durometer/fruit firmness tester.
