Digital Fruit Penetrometer Sclerometer for Hardness and Maturity
Meet the Digital Fruit Penetrometer Sclerometer for Hardness and Maturity — a precise handheld instrument designed to measure fruit firmness and ripeness with confidence. It translates the resistance of fruit tissue into standard Kgf/cm2 units, helping you decide harvest timing, shelf life, and quality with objective data.
With high precision and high resolution, this device offers three measurement modes that you can switch in real time: real-time, peak, and first peak value. Upper and lower limits can be set for statistical analysis, and a buzzer alert can notify you when readings fall outside your target range. An automatic shutdown feature conserves power, and automatic backlight keeps readings readable in dim environments. The unit operates on two AAA batteries (not included) and ships without batteries to comply with shipping rules.
All electronic and mechanical equipment, devices and machines sold by InterCyprus to EU countries are CE certified and carry a two year warranty.

Benefits & Tips
- Harvest timing: use hardness readings to determine the optimal harvest window for peak flavor and texture.
- Quality control: compare batches by standardized hardness values and maintain records for traceability.
- Practical usage: switch between real-time, peak, and first peak value to capture steady-state vs peak resistance; enable alarms to stay within desired ranges.
