Do inconsistent gluten testing results compromise your flour quality assessment or food safety compliance? Manual methods are time-consuming, prone to operator error, and lack the repeatability demanded by modern grain science. The BGLT Series Gluten Tester is a professional, automated instrument designed to deliver precise, reproducible measurements of wet gluten content, gluten index, and water retention. By automating the critical steps of dough mixing, washing, and centrifugation, this automated gluten analyzer streamlines quality control in flour mills, food processing plants, and grain research laboratories, ensuring your results meet the highest standards of accuracy.

Why Choose the BGLT Series Gluten Tester? Solving Repeatability, Efficiency & Workflow Challenges

Achieve reliable, standards-compliant gluten analysis with intelligent features that directly address common food lab pain points.

• Eliminate Human Error from Your Gluten Testing: Manual washing and handling introduce significant variability. The BGLT-2A/3A Gluten Tester automates the entire process. With digitally adjustable timers for mixing (1-99 sec), washing (1 sec to 15 min), and centrifugation (1 sec to 9 min), every sample is treated identically. The washing liquid flow is precisely maintained at 50–56 mL/min, ensuring consistent gluten extraction run after run, so you can trust your gluten index data.

• Achieve Optimal Sample Separation with Dual-Speed Centrifugation: Different flour types may require different separation forces. This precision gluten index analyzer offers a choice of two calibrated centrifugation speeds: 3000 r/min and 6000 r/min (±5 r/min) . This flexibility allows you to optimize the protocol for your specific wheat varieties or research questions, ensuring accurate separation of the gluten ball from unbound starch and solubles.

• Streamline Your Lab Workflow with Integrated Design: Save valuable technician time. The Gluten Tester system integrates automated washing and mixing in a compact main unit with a dedicated high-temperature dryer (150–200°C). From dough formation to final dried gluten measurement, the workflow is seamless and efficient, allowing your lab to process more samples with greater confidence. The optional index sieve box (600 μm) on the BGLT-3A model further refines gluten index determination.

• Designed for the Demands of a Grain Lab: Built to last in busy environments, the unit features precision-engineered components including graded sieve meshes (80 μm for fine washing, 800 μm for coarse) and a dedicated centrifugation mesh box (500 μm). It operates stably across a range of lab conditions (0–40°C, <80% RH) and is compact enough to fit easily on any bench (main unit: 400 x 300 x 240 mm).
