At Baxlo, all our instruments are manufactured in compliance with international standards DIN 53.505, UNE-EN ISO 868, and ASTM D-2240, ensuring outstanding quality and precision in every durometer
Baxlo fruit and vegetable durometers allow non-destructive testing on soft fruits without piercing or damaging them. Choose the most suitable instrument for each type of fruit. Our durometers can be supplied with a maximum reading pointer upon request. We manufacture several models depending on the fruit type.
There are durometers with specific scales designed to measure the hardness of soft rubbers, spongy materials, foam rubber, and textile rolls, among others. We offer special scales such as Shore 0 and Shore 00, compliant with ASTM D2240, as well as Asker C and Asker F scales, following SRIS-0101 and JIS K 7312 standards.
The Baxlo durometer stand is specially designed to work with our full range of durometers, as well as most Shore durometers from other manufacturers. Using a dedicated durometer stand is recommended when maximum precision and repeatability in hardness measurements are required.
At Baxlo, you will find the most extensive range of hardness testers available on the market. All our measuring instruments are manufactured in Spain, meeting the highest quality standards and current regulations. From the most common scales such as Shore A and Shore D for measuring rubbers, resins, and plastics, to less common scales adapted for highly specific materials like foams or shoe insoles.
We also manufacture durometers for the food industry, including firmness testers for fruits and vegetables, which provide an objective measurement of ripening and preservation processes. Given the wide variety of agricultural products suitable for this testing method, our range of fruit durometers is equally comprehensive.
Our hardness testers are practical, compact instruments that allow quick and precise checks, both in testing laboratories and on-site in any environment. All Baxlo hardness testers can be used manually and can also be mounted on a testing stand to improve reliability and measurement repeatability. This eliminates potential errors caused by handheld use, such as slight variations in parallelism or applied pressure between measurements.
Measurement units vary depending on the type of durometer and its scale. Common units include Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Leeb, and Shore. The Shore units are among the most widely used worldwide for industrial materials.
A durometer uses an indenter—cone- or ball-shaped—applied against the material’s surface under pressure. The penetration depth indicates an exact value, converted into a reading on the Shore scale. The higher the reading, the harder the material.
No. There are different durometers designed to measure hardness within a specific range and method. Some measure rubbers, plastics, elastomers, metals and alloys, fruits, and vegetables, among others. Using the wrong hardness tester for a material can produce inaccurate results or even damage the instrument.
If you’re unsure which durometer is suitable for your tests, consult Baxlo’s expert team. We will provide personalized advice and recommend the right hardness tester for your material.
