The Lovibond Model Fx eliminates the temperature issues associated with regularly measuring the color of edible oils while also addressing the demand for rapid and precise readings. Misreading due to crystallization can be avoided by keeping the oil at a consistent temperature and reporting the sample temperature.
Applications: Edible Oils and Fats
Highlights
- Improve site-to-site comparability of findings by controlling sample temperature
- The integrated heater helps to prevent sample solidification
- Improve measurement accuracy with the easy-to-clean, removable sample chamber
- Reduce the size of the QC lab’s benchtop area by using smaller instruments
Guaranteed Temperature Consistency: The Lovibond Model Fx fulfills the demand for fast, precise results while resolving temperature issues related to reliably detecting the color of edible oils. Inconsistent results will result from turbidity caused by the samples' crystallization if they are not adequately prepared before testing. Accurate readings are produced by the integrated sample cell heater, which maintains a constant and uniform temperature throughout the sample.
Optimized for Production Environment: Reliable and reproducible test findings are essential for minimizing manufacturing costs and guaranteeing the quality of the finished product. For effective process control, analysis speed is essential. Operational simplicity lowers mistakes and boosts output. The aluminum housing of the instrument is designed to endure the risks of the industrial environment and is resistant to chemicals.
Save Costs, Misinterpretation, and Potential Disputes: Suppliers and buyers require a common language to communicate and assess product quality. The Lovibond® Model Fx automatically provides essential metrics, ensuring that data is captured consistently and replicable by various users or across numerous sites. If a disagreement arises between a supplier and a client, this additional information can assist in settling the issue, saving time and money.
Ensures Compliance to Standards: The Lovibond Model Fx measures color using the Lovibond® RYBN, Lovibond® RY10:1, AOCS Tintometer® RY, Chlorophyll, and Beta-Carotene scales, which are widely used in the edible oil industry. The instrument's data precision, repeatability, and reproducibility enable for tighter color requirements and more color constancy, providing companies with the confidence they need to make critical choices about high-value commodities and refining processes.
