Reliable construction

All of the DTG series feature a motor drive operating at a fixed speed of 30 rpm (+/- 1) and a stroke of 55 mm (+/- 1). The control of all models is provided by a membrane keypad linked to a 4-line 20 character back-lit LCD screen which is mounted in the head of the instrument so as to avoid any accidental spillages in the test area.

Particular attention has been given to the design of the basket rack assembly in respect to its removal and cleaning. A quick-release basket design provides a firm location for the basket during operation and allows the basket to be removed from the instrument for rapid cleaning.
