The Univex FA-73 Fat Percentage Measuring Kit
The Univex FA-73 manual fat analyzer gives you a quick, reliable way to measure ground beef fat content up to 90% lean. Built for butcher shops, grocery stores, and meat processors, this portable unit delivers accurate results in just three minutes. You can check product labels, maintain quality control, and meet regulations without sending samples to a lab. The FA-73 is made in the USA and comes ready to use with a carrying case and six glass vials.
Self-Calibrating Design Eliminates External Calibration Requirements
The FA-73 automatically calibrates itself to zero before each test, so you never need extra calibration tools or service visits. This self-calibrating design keeps results accurate and reduces maintenance. Tested against AOAC and Modified Babcock methods, the FA-73 delivers results within 1% accuracy for all types of ground beef, so you can trust your measurements every time.
Single Lever Manual Operation with 3-Minute Cycle Time
A single lever controls the FA-73, so anyone can use it without special training. Each test takes just three minutes, letting you check fat content quickly without slowing down production. The manual design means there are no air compressors or hydraulic systems to maintain, which keeps costs down and reduces the chance of breakdowns while still delivering precise results.
The compact analyzer measures just 5.5" wide by 5.4" deep by 5.6" high and weighs only 8 lbs., making it highly portable for use in multiple locations or for transport between facilities. The included carrying case protects the unit during storage and transport while keeping all components organized and accessible. Standard accessories include a sample measuring device for consistent portioning, the protective carrying case, and six glass vials to begin testing immediately upon arrival. Additional glass vials are available in cartons of 48 for ongoing operations.
