Chatillon® FG/BEC
Back Extrusion Food Cell

This fixture is used with the TAPLUS or LFPLUS material tester. This fixture consists of a circular plunger which is driven into a larger cylinder to compress the sample and force it through the gap between the plunger and the container. This results in a peak compression force and then a fluctuating compression force. The kit is generally used in combination with the FG/BASE table and comes with three different diameter plungers (35mm, 40mm, 45mm) for compressing the sample.

Capacity
112 lbf (50 kgf, 500 N)

We Can Help!
Selecting the correct grip can be difficult. In fact, improper grips or fixtures are the second leading reason (loadcells are the main reason) why tests fail and results aren't what you expected.

Send us some samples. We'll evaluate and recommend the proper grip or fixture for your application. Just contact your nearest Technical Support Center.
