The Concora Medium Fluter consists of two direct heated segments with 175 +/- 5°C, covered through a front plate and pressed against each other with definite force.. The segments are directly heated with only 200 W heating power (older models need 2.000 W power consumption). The sample is put on the top and falls out ready from an opening in the lower area of the fluter. The sample is glued on a tape with help of a “3rd hand” and is then ready for testing in a crush tester.
