One of our customers was able to salvage an entire year’s worth of seeds. The Seedmeister was used initially to help identify and sort watermelon seeds that would breed seedless watermelons. However, in one particular year, the customer was getting seeds where there were too many mixed lots and disease infected seeds. Product loss would have been catastrophic due to losses in customer sales and relationships. Nearly 3 million seeds were salvaged from being destroyed. Customer confidence was restored and even improved.
The latest Seedmeister (Seedmeister Mark IIIx) has several modifications for the measurement of nuts and seeds of irregular shape and size. The Luminar 3076 Seedmeister Mark IIIx is the perfect turnkey solution for breeders who need consistent and accurate results when sorting. The Mark IIIx has proved very effective at measuring the oleic – linoleic ratio in peanuts so that breeders can grow healthier products.
