Kernal Output Ratio (KOR) or Out-Turn Rate
The KOR or Out-Turn Rate value for a particular batch of raw cashews can only be estimated after the process of deshelling or decorticating (the industry terms used to denote the removal of the shell of the cashew nut). This value is conventionally estimated in terms of pounds (lbs) per 80 kilograms (kg). ESTIMATE : A KOR Value of 43 lbs to 48 lbs for every 80 kg denotes a good Out-Turn Rate. A KOR Value of 48 lbs to 55 lbs for every 80 kg denotes an excellent Out-Turn Rate.
Nut Count
The Nut Count for a batch of raw cashews can be estimated by examining a small sample from the batch. This value can be obtained by dividing the number of useable nuts in a given sample by the total weight of the sample.
ESTIMATES:
A Nut Count of 170 is exceptional.
A Nut Count of 180 - 190 is very good.
A Nut Count of 190 - 200 is good.
A Nut Count of 200 - 210 is average.
A Nut Count of 210 - 220 is below average.
Any Nut Count Below 230 is poor.
How To Calculate The Net Out-Turn Rate For A Batch Of Cashews
A Little About SCashew's Nuts
1. In order to effectively do so, small samples from various locations of a batch of cashews can be taken and mixed well, in order to ensure that the sample is as random as possible.
A minimum of 1 kg of cashews from a batch has to be accumulated to serve as the sample.
Big-Sized Cashew Nuts
For Big - Sized (siz) Cashew Nuts, 0–168 Cashew Nuts per 1 kilo-kg, For Medium-Sized Cashew Nuts 169 – 199 Cashew Nuts per 1 kg, For Small-Sized Cashew Nuts 200 or above Cashew Nuts / 1 kg
Dry it Out
2. After gathering this random sample of cashew nuts amounting to 1 kg, dry it out well in a controlled environment with the humidity between 8% and 8.5%
Shell Out
3. Then, cut the nuts taken from the sample right through the separation of the intersecting cashew shell and the cashew kernel.
Calculating the Out-Turn Rate
4. After this, separate the shells from the kernels. While doing so, it is important to make sure that the kernels contain the peels. This is because the peels are also taken into account (and considered to be part of the kernel) while calculating the Out-Turn Rate.
Good Kernels
5. Proceed with separating the kernels into varying grades. These grades include - Good Kernels, Bad Kernels, Spotted Kernels, Humidified Kernels, and Premature Kernels.
Weighting Process
6. Weigh all these separated grades of cashew kernels individually using an electronic weighing apparatus.
Cost-effective
Each of these different Kernel Grades has a varying percentage of kernels that can be considered as useful in determining the Out-Turn Rate.
Kernel Grades
Good Kernels-100% can be utilized For Spotted Kernels - only 50% can be utilized For Bad Kernels - 0 % (none of it) can be utilized For Premature Kernels - only 50% can be utilized For Humidified Kernels - only 20% can be utilized
7. Out Turn Rate Calculation
Make use of the total weight of these usable kernels to calculate the overall Out-Turn Rate. In effect, the weight of the usable kernel = 100% of Good Kernels + 50% Spotted Kernels + 0% Bad Kernels + 50% Premature Kernels + 20% Humidified Kernels
RBS / LBS Calculation
The Out-Turn Rate Of A Batch Of Cashews = (Total Weight Of Usable Kernels (in grams) x 80) / 454. The Out-Turn Rate Value is always expressed in terms of pounds (lbs).
Batch of cashews for eg.
The below example should give you a better idea of how to calculate the Out-Turn Rate for a batch of cashews.
Consider the following values for this example
Total weight of Good Kernels is 230 grams Total weight of Spotted Kernels is 14 grams Total weight of Bad Kernels is 12 grams Total weight of Premature Kernels is 18 grams Total weight of Humidified Kernels is 10 grams.
Total Weight of Usable Kernels = 100% of Good Kernels + 50% Spotted Kernels + 0% Bad Kernels + 50% Premature Kernels + 20% Humidified Kernels Therefore in this instance, Total Weight of Usable Kernels = 230 grams + 7 grams + 0 grams + 9 grams + 2 grams = 248 grams According to the formula mentioned above, Out-Turn Rate Of A Batch Of Cashews = (Total Weight Of Usable Kernels (in grams) x 80) / 454 Therefore in this instance, Out-Turn Rate = (248 grams * 80) / 454 = 43.7 lbs.
