SLK-200 AND SLK-100 NMR EQUIPMENT PREVENTIVE AND PRE-CAMPAIGN TECHNICAL REVIEWS.

Spinlock offers all clients preventive technical reviews, including remote checks with Spinlock Online Helpdesk and pre-campaign calibrations to ensure that your equipment is in perfect condition before starting a new campaign.

Every so often, it is important to validate the performance of the spectrometer and if possible recalibrate to maximize results. Spinlock recommends validating performance annually; for agricultural applications before the harvesting season starts. Why? For every reason supporting preventive maintenance: any technical problems detected in advance would prevent or quickly solve any possible failure.

Remote checks take only 24 hours (including night repeatability measurements) and allow a diagnosis of the equipment status. Calibrations can be carried out both in the client’s laboratory and in the Spinlock Technical Service area, if seeds, grains, etc. are available.

Contact us to know the discounts applicable in case of early harvesting season checks.

For more information or to request a review, please contact us.

The importance of determining the percentage of oil in palm and palm kernels

Palm oil is one of the most consumed and used vegetable oils by the Industry. Therefore, being able to accurately determine the amount of oil in palm and palm kernel crops is essential for the following reasons:

1) Economy

Its production is more profitable than that of its substitutes; so, for the Industry, it ends up being an effective ingredient when it comes to lowering costs and competing by appealing to prices.

2) Uses

Both culinary and industrial, the uses of palm oil are numerous. It can be used as frying or dressing oil, as a product added to other foods, such as fat or vegetable oil, as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, in the production of animal feed, for the production of soaps, shampoos, gels bath, lipstick, toothpaste, and creams.

3) Versatility

In food, its solid condition at room temperature and its creamy texture makes it possible to substitute butter or hydrogenated fats in many processed products. While, in other industrial sectors such as cosmetics or cleaning products, it is widely used because it is not easy to replace it with other ingredients.

Therefore, if you are looking to perform good quality control on palm fruit or subproducts, the SLK-200 NMR from Spinlock is the best solution to simultaneously determine the percentage of oil, moisture, oleic acid, linoleic acid. and palmitic acid with a 27 cm3 sample.

8 advantages of the SLK-200:

 

  1. -Does not destroy the sample, which allows repeating the analysis.
  2. -No need to dry the sample.
  3. -Fast and accurate results. Online production control.
  4. -Environment friendly: no chemicals or other supplies used.
  5. -Small and light.
  6. -Low maintenance requirements.
  7. -User-friendly software.
  8. -Worldwide support: Spinlock Online Helpdesk and Spinlock Global Support Network.

DETERMINATION OF OLEIC ACID CONTENT IN PEANUT SEEDS WITH SLK- 200 NMR

The science of agriculture is constantly looking for solutions to manipulate crops in order to increase the yield and quality of the oils it produces. That is why seed crops with a high oleic acid content are always favored and a premium in price is applicable when sold.

Peanut oil is made up of numerous fatty acids. It has been shown that a higher content of Oleic Acid in peanuts and their derivative products, considerably increases quality and useful life. Peanut seeds have an oil content that is around 45% of their weight on average. The main fatty acids contained in its oil are Oleic, Palmitic, and Linoleic. Countless studies agree that the higher the content of oleic acid, the greater the durability and quality of peanuts and their derived products. This is expressed in the well-known O/L (Oleic/Linoleic) ratio.

The SLK-200 NMR is capable of analyzing the oleic acid content in 37 cm3 samples of peanut seeds or in an individual seed or grain. Furthermore, you can simultaneously measure the percentage of oil, moisture, and linoleic acid if desired. The NMR analysis of individual peanut seeds allows producers the selection, reproduction, and cultivation of high oleic seeds, thanks to its non-destructive technique, the main advantage of NMR versus GC (Gas Chromatography). Each determination of Oleic is carried out in less than 4 seconds allowing the seeds to be classified as high, medium, and low oleic. It also allows the analysis of peanut by-products: Butter, Expeller-Pellet.

The NMR technique is the ideal tool for quality control and facilitates the daily work of producers and breeders of peanut seeds, Crushers and Oil Industry, and research or service laboratories. It replaces chemical analysis, which is relatively expensive and takes hours to prepare the sample and measure, with a fast and cheap technique.

Hundreds of Spinlock customers use our technology in more than 20 countries and on all continents. For the PEANUT Application, many companies trust our products, among them ADM, Golden Peanut; Lorenz Nuss GmbH, OLEGA, AMENDOBRAS AMENDOIM, among others
