With our potato starch scales, the starch content of potatoes can be determined quickly, easily, and reliably. These specialized measuring devices for determining starch content are used in agriculture, potato cultivation, potato processing, the potato trade, and for quality control.
The determination is performed according to the Archimedean principle based on the underwater weight of the potatoes. For this purpose, the potato sample is first weighed and then submerged in water. From the determined underwater weight, the potato starch scale calculates the starch content as a percentage. In addition, the dry matter as a percentage and the underwater weight in grams based on 5,000 g of potatoes are displayed.
A potato starch scale is therefore suitable for the rapid quality determination of potatoes, for classification and sorting, for monitoring dry matter, and as a basis for pricing and further processing. Its compact design allows for practical use directly on the farm, during the potato harvest, in storage, in the potato trade, or during incoming goods inspection.
With our potato scales for starch content determination, you receive a reliable solution for measuring the starch content of potatoes, assessing harvest quality, and quickly determining key values such as starch, dry matter, and underwater weight.
