Alphatec FNo gives grain receivers and flour millers a safe and modern way of performing the standard falling number test that is used to check sprouting damage in grain and enzyme activity in flour prior to baking, malting etc.

A safe way to test sprout damage and enzyme activity

Innovative safety features help to avoid potential injury and reduce the risk of burns. A cooling lid minimises the rush of steam when loading samples, an insulated sample bath prevents contact with hot surfaces, while an overflow direct into waste also stops hot water spillage.

User friendly falling number analysis

Get full control and reduce training costs with a modern, easy to use touch screen allowing rapid, error-free analysis. Other smart usability features are built into the practical design such as the detachable rack and rear connectors.
