Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd is pleased to welcome Bentley Instruments as a new supplier partner, further strengthening our support for dairy laboratories and processors throughout Australia.
Bentley Instruments manufactures advanced analytical instruments for the measurement of milk and dairy products, providing laboratories with fast, reliable and highly accurate data on everything from raw milk to processed products such as cream, yoghurt, ice cream and frozen yoghurt.
Founded in 1982, Bentley Instruments focuses exclusively on analytical and automation solutions for the dairy sector. Over more than four decades, the company has developed a strong global footprint by concentrating on instruments that deliver:
High precision and reliability in demanding laboratory environments
Robust, computer-controlled systems that streamline workflows
Proven performance in milk composition and hygienic quality testing
Their technology includes pioneering work in applying flow cytometry to routine milk analysis, which has contributed to Bentley Instruments being widely recognised in milk and dairy product laboratories worldwide.
By adding Bentley Instruments to our portfolio, Rowe Scientific can now offer dairy laboratories:
Access to specialised milk and dairy analysers backed by a long-standing global supplier
The convenience of local stock, local advice and local service through Rowe Scientific’s national network
Support in selecting instruments that align with regulatory requirements, quality standards and production goals
Our team will work closely with Bentley Instruments and with our clients to ensure the right configuration of instruments, accessories and support for each facility.
Bentley Instruments’ philosophy aligns closely with Rowe Scientific’s own commitment to the laboratory sector. Their product development is guided by key principles:
Quality: instruments engineered for long-term, dependable operation
Simplicity: intuitive interfaces that reduce training time and operator error
Value: a focus on lifetime value and productivity, not just initial purchase price
Service & support: responsive help when issues arise, to minimise downtime and keep testing programmes on track
These priorities complement our purpose at Rowe Scientific: to keep our clients supplied with the scientific tools they need to do their work.
If you operate in the dairy sector and would like to discuss how Bentley Instruments’ solutions could support your laboratory or plant, contact your local Rowe Scientific representative.
Rowe Scientific looks forward to working with Bentley Instruments to provide innovative, reliable solutions for dairy testing laboratories across Australia.

Two blades open as the speed rises which generates an axial flow in the container, from the top towards the bottom. Particularly recommended for stirring in narrow neck containers, e.g. flasks.
|
The blade automatically falls into line during rotation generates an axial flow in the container, from the top towards the bottom. Particularly recommended for stirring in narrow neck containers.
|
The fixed blade generates an axial flow in the container, from the top towards the bottom. Use at medium-high speed for whirling light solids, for flocculations, mixing thickening agents, and stirring sludge.
|
It generates an axial flow in the container with suction of the substance from the bottom towards the top with localised occurences of shearing forces.

Generates a tangential flow with reduced turbulence and gently mixes the product.
|
Generates a radial flow with suction of the product from the top towards the bottom, with high turbulence and high shearing forces.
|
Generates an axial flow in the container with suction of the substance from the top towards the bottom with low shearing forces. Limited danger of any contact of the blade with the walls of the product’s container.
|
Generates a tangential flow with high shearing forces on the ends. This limits the possibility of sedimentation on the walls of the container.
