Eliminate Guesswork With Rheology Testing

Every top chef knows that slight changes can make or break a recipe. If you’ve made any changes to your products or production goals, we’ll help you make sure you’ll see the rewards!

Do You Need Rheology Testing?

Good news — we offer rheology testing at no cost! But you’re busy, so we’ve created a quick quiz to see if rheology is the right next best step for you. Take the quiz below to get started!

Why Is Rheology Testing Important?

Rheology testing measures how materials or ingredients react to stress — like heat and pressure. Accurate testing can help save food and beverage companies time and money in numerous ways, including:

  • Offering an affordable or no-cost method of quality control 
  • Letting you know if you can change vendors without sacrificing quality
  • Making it easier to improve taste and mouthfeel 
  • Confirming that your equipment is configured correctly for a new or different product 
  • Evaluating whether your existing equipment can handle a new product or production requirement

Frequently Asked Questions

Can rheology testing help if I'm switching ingredient suppliers?
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons processors request testing. Even small changes in ingredient sourcing can affect viscosity, which impacts heat transfer efficiency. Testing your product with the new ingredients ensures your heat exchanger will handle the reformulation without compromising throughput or quality.
What do I need to send for rheology testing?
We need a 1-quart sample of your product. Ship it in a sealed container at the appropriate temperature for your product type. If you're unsure about shipping requirements, contact our team, and we'll walk you through the specifics for your product.
What if my test results show my current heat exchanger isn't optimal?
We'll provide honest recommendations about what changes would improve performance — whether that's adjusting plate patterns, modifying flow rates, or, in some cases, confirming that a different configuration would better suit your needs. There's never any pressure to purchase; our goal is to help you understand what's possible and make informed decisions about your equipment.
How is rheology testing different from just trying the new product in my heat exchanger?
Testing predicts performance before you risk a full production run. Running an untested product through your equipment could result in wasted batches, equipment damage from improper flow rates, or quality issues you won't catch until it's too late. Rheology testing eliminates that guesswork.
Can rheology testing help me increase production capacity?
Yes. Understanding your product's exact viscosity profile helps us determine if your current equipment can handle higher flow rates or if specific plate configurations could improve throughput.
