DICKEY-john Launches the Instalab(R)700 NIR Product Analyzer
DICKEY-JOHN LAUNCHES THE
INSTALAB(R) 700 NIR PRODUCT ANALYZER
Quickly and Accurately Measures Percent of
Constituent Concentration in Numerous Commodities
/EINPresswire.com/ AUBURN ILLINOIS, March 28, 2012 -- DICKEY-john Corporation announces the new Instalab 700(R) NIR Product Analyzer offering industry-leading accuracy and dependability with minimal recurring costs in process control, moisture, protein decision, and laboratory-quality determination. This new product is designed for constituent analysis in grain, feed, and meat processing, as well as textile manufacturing, flour milling, and ethanol production.
The Instalab 700 encompasses the solid design concepts of the IL600 using the same optics chamber and detection assembly but with enhanced features and benefits that provide the latest in constituent analysis technology. This self-contained optical reflectance instrument is engineered to quickly and accurately measure the percent of constituent concentration such as moisture, protein, oil, starch, fiber, and ash, that are common to the grain, feed, and food industries. Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technology within the unit analyzes numerous solid, semi-solid, and liquid materials and is a lowest total cost solution alternative to wet chemistry units.
The IL700 offers many enhancements over the current DICKEY-john IL600 Product Analyzer. The display was designed with a user-friendly operator interface with a color touch screen that minimizes operator training time. The unit's storage functionality has greatly improved with expanded calibration memory storage and the additional feature of product storage up to 3000 test results that was not available in the older unit. The unit is equipped with USB and ethernet ports for easy transfer of software upgrades and calibration loading.
Roger VanderKolk, Product Manager at DICKEY-john stated, "With sufficient calibration data, the IL700 provides accuracy comparable to laboratory results. In daily operation, repeatability and precision surpasses typical laboratory testing since operator technique is less crucial and instrument error is minimal making this unit an invaluable tool in constituent testing."
Additional features include:
• Automatic and manual gain selection that adjusts the gain for low-reflectance samples
• Thermoelectrically-cooled detector that maximizes sensitivity and dynamic range
• Non-volatile flash memory to store calibrations and other system parameters
• IL600 calibrations are easily transferable to the IL700 via a USB memory device
Product availability is March, 2012.
DICKEY-john Corporation is a privately-held division of TSI. Since 1966, DICKEY-john, based in Auburn, IL, has designed, manufactured, marketed, and supported products used in the agricultural and public works industries. Key products include analytical instrumentation for grain moisture and constituent testing for global customers; sensors, monitors, and control systems for farming tractors and implements; and city/state snow and ice control vehicles.
