The Xenotest Beta+ FD is a premium stand-alone rotating rack xenon instrument with 4000cm2 exposure area. Its completely target designed to meet the testing needs of the FMCG industry, such as drinks, foodstuffs, personal care or household products. Beta+ FD enables consumer goods manufacturers to test their products realistically within very short test times, typically with acceleration factors between 10-50 versus real time. Its for reliable qualification of stable product formulations, determination of appropriate packaging materials, and supporting product shelflife claims.
Beta+ FD offers two custom racks – a bottle rack and a packagings rack. Both carry loads up to 20 kg and fit various packaging shapes and sizes. Economic non-aging filters guarantee realistic simulation of all three common light conditions – outdoor Daylight / indoor Daylight / Supermarket light, while a chiller keeps test temperatures on realistic levels even at high irradiance. Programming and monitoring can be done online.
