We typically keep these in stock—about 15 to 20 units ready to go, but that fluctuates with order batches, so you'll want to confirm lead time before planning anything tight. Shiping is straightforward since it's not cold chain, just a sturdy crate with the thermal plastic container and rack nested inside.
For rust resistance testing, most buyers go with the 1% sodium chloride at 60±2°C—it basically mimics the worst-case dishwashing scenario over years of use. Cycle speed adjusts from 2 to 5 per minute, and we've seen labs prefer the slower end for cutlery that's already plated.
It's not great for testing ceramic blades or non-metallic handles—only designed for stainlss steel cutlery like knives and forks, so keep that in mind if your sample mix includes composites. The immersion stroke length is adjustable, but we usually set it at about 65mm from the rack's lowest point.
Trust really comes down to consistency across batches—what it does is hold temperature within ±2°C reliably, and the engineering plastic rack doesn't warp after a few hundred cycles like some cheaper ones do. One year controller and heating element, but teh container is pretty much indestructible anyway.
You get a COA with each unit, and we can provide historical temp logs from factory calibration (usually ±0.5°C or so) if your QA needs that for audits. Anyway, the machine runs off standard mains—nothing exotic required—and the 1L test chamber handles up to twelve fork specimens in one go.
Our standard MOQ is 1 unit, but we can discuss larger orders if you need a fleet for high-volume testing.
Typically 15-20 working days, depending on current production load. We’ll confirm a precise timeline once your order is placed.
Yes, we can supply a CE certificate and a calibration report for the temperature and cycle controls upon request.
It uses a built-in PID controller and a heated bath system to keep the testing solution steady at 60±2°C throughout the cycle.
We ship it in a reinforced wooden crate. For storage, keep it in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to avoid warping the plastic.
