CHOPIN Technologies, France

Everything is under your control!

CHOPIN Technologies develops and manufactures unique equipment for quality control in the field of grain processing.

CHOPIN devices are in demand at all stages of the production chain and allow you to ensure optimal technological qualities of grain, flour and grain products.

In many countries around the world, CHOPIN quality control devices are standard equipment that is installed in leading research centers and educational institutions for the training of food technology specialists. Many scientific discoveries have been made with the innovative equipment of this company.

The company invests more than 10% of the turnover in research activities, actively realizing the best developments. This takes quality control to a whole new level!

The company has implemented a quality management system in accordance with the ISO 9001: 2015 standard.

CHOPIN Technologies traces its history back to the middle of the 19th century. Then the company manufactured equipment for mills - they supplied millstones and sieves. The business developed successfully, brought profit and fame.

However, the real breakthrough in the work of the company took place in the 20s of the last century. It was then that Marcel Chopin created a device that opened a new era in the evaluation of flour quality. The developer named it "extensometer". The device made it possible, using precisely measured parameters, to determine the quality of flour, its suitability for various technological purposes.

The extensometer became the prototype of a modern device for the comprehensive study of the properties of grain and flour - the Alveograph. Not a single progressive flour-grinding enterprise or production of bakery products can do without studying the alveographic profile of flour. The alveograph determines the parameters of elasticity, extensibility, elasticity and baking strength of the dough. These data make it possible to optimize the composition of mixtures of grain and flour, to improve the plasticity of flour, to produce various types of flour for specific purposes. Alveographs manufactured by CHOPIN Technologies are highly regarded for their accurate and reliable measurements.

The company has perfected equipment and methods, developed by building a team of experts and identifying the real needs of its customers.

The main stages of the company's development:

1921 - Marcel Chopin invented the extensometer, which became the prototype of the modern Alveograph instrument.

1950 - Alveograph inventor Marcel Chopin established CHOPIN SAS to manufacture and distribute quality control equipment.

1975 - Tripette and Renaud are acquired by CHOPIN and the group of companies begins to develop into the production and sale of equipment for grain quality control.

2003 - The three companies, which were the main players in their respective markets, merged into a single company specializing in quality control.

The band changed their name to Tripette and Renaud CHOPIN (TRC) and included:

• CHOPIN - development of methods and equipment for quality control of grain, flour and other grain products;
• VFP - production of industrial inks and varnishes for screen and digital printing;
• Tripette and Renaud are industrial pneumatic and mechanical conveying, screening, sampling and bulk loading equipment for agri-food, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.

2006 - Tripette and Renaud CHOPIN changed name to CHOPIN Technologies. The company is the oldest privately owned group in France and at the same time remains a family business.

2016 - CHOPIN Technologies became part of the KPM Analytics group (USA).

Using innovative technologies, the company creates unique devices recognized by international standards and organizations that meet the needs of all participants in the grain processing process.

As part of CHOPIN Technologies, there is a research laboratory ready to respond to any analytical requests. Experts develop new protocols and create calibrations tailored to specific customer needs. This approach allows users to get the most out of CHOPIN equipment.

At the CHOPIN Technologies training center, specialists from around the world have the opportunity to improve their practical skills in working with CHOPIN equipment. The training center is also a unique platform for exchanging information with recognized experts in the field of quality control and the development of analytical methods.

The production facilities of CHOPIN Technologies are located in France. However, CHOPIN instruments are available worldwide thanks to a network of over 60 accredited partners. These companies provide installation, configuration and maintenance of equipment from a French manufacturer.

SocTrade is the exclusive distributor of CHOPIN Technologies in Ukraine and supplies modern equipment for analyzing the rheological properties of flour.

The offered range includes devices for a comprehensive study of flour qualities: Alveograph (Alveograph), MixoLab (Mixolab), SDmatic (SDmatic), Rheo F4 (Reo F4) rheofermenometer, etc.

SocTrade, in cooperation with the Odessa National Academy of Food Technologies and with the support of Chopin Technologies specialists, regularly conducts trainings for enterprises of the milling industry to assess the rheological properties of grain and flour using modern methods and equipment.

CHOPIN Technologies equipment complies with international standards: ISO, CEN, AFNOR, AACC, ICC, DSTU 4111.4-2002, GOST R.
