SUGAR MODE • Sugar mode allows beverage industry professionals to measure Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose and Invert Sugars at any temperature from 15-40 Deg C for use in concentrates and related sugar-based beverages. •Simply enter Refractive Index and Temperature from any refractometer to compute and displays all values for Specific Gravity, Density, Total Weight, Mass Fraction and Dry Substance weight. •VST CoffeeTools™ for Sugars is accurate to +/- 0.00003 nD per ICUMSA Tables (1998 & 2000). Final accuracy depends on accuracy of instrument. CORN MODE •CORN mode allows beverage industry professionals to measure High Fructose Corn Syrups HFCS42 and HFCS55 at any temperature from 10-50 Deg C for use in concentrates and related HFCS-based beverages. •Simply enter the Refractive Index and TEMP from any refractometer to compute and displays all values for Specific Gravity, Density, Total Weight, Mass Fraction and Dry Substance weight. •VST CoffeeTools™ for CORN Syrups has been tested against the Corn Refiners Association tables for syrup composition, and is fit to be accurate to better than +/- 0.0001 nD and less than +/- 0.02 % Mass Fraction. Final accuracy depends on accuracy of instrument.

IKAWA’s Sample Roaster is enabling consistent, repeatable roasting by using digital precision. It improves quality, saves time and encourages collaboration and learning through profile sharing. SMARTER SAMPLE ROASTING The IKAWA Sample Roaster will automatically adjust heat and airflow to match your roast profile. This means consistency between your roasts and everyone else on the team, over and over again. Design and edit roast profiles with up to 20 temperature points and 10 fan points, then repeat roasts or fine tune your roast profiles. Edit profiles for the Exhaust Temperature Sensor, Inlet Sensor, and airflow with up to 20 control points on each line. ONLINE ROAST PROFILE LIBRARY IKAWA Sample Roaster profiles are shareable, and you can access our global roast profile library or share your own with your colleagues. HANDS FREE ROASTING WITH DIGITAL PRECISION AND CONTROL The IKAWA Pro App delivers hands free roasting with the incredible precision and control. Set a profile on the app, press go and the roaster will execute that roast with precision. CREATING A COMMON LANGUAGE Not only will you have access to our Roast Profile Library with profiles from around the world, but you can create a company set of roasts. This means from location to location, day to day, the roasts you and your team sample are the same. Save and share profiles and roast history, including; Colour Change, First Crack, Development Time Ratio, Rate of Rise graph, Roast Data CSV, Photos and Notes IKAWA’s patented Sample Rosters and designed and manufactured in our London workshop.
