Infracont grain analyzers provide farmers and cooperatives involved in grain production with essential assistance in the sale of grain.
In any commercial transaction, the seller must be aware of the characteristics and the quality of the product to be sold, especially the parameters that determine the value (price) of the product. In the case of grains, some of the importan quality parameters that can be measured with NIR instruments clearly fall into this category. Although these parameters can be determined using traditional laboratory methods, they are time-consuming and expensive compared to NIR measurements. Since NIR instruments provide fast, accurate and inexpensive results on quality, they can be used to measure much smaller batches than traditional laboratory methods, providing producers with much more detailed information about the quality of their grain.
Knowing the quality parameters gives producers confidence and bargaining power when negotiating with traders.
XGrain Near Infrared Grain Analyser
Professional Near Infrared Transmission grain and flour analyser for analysing whole grain cereals and oil seeds as well as flour content parameters with a built-in hectolitre weight module.
SGrain Near Infrared Grain Analyser
Infracont SGrain is the only portable grain analyser in the world that provides the highest accuracy by applying a high-precision scanning grating monochromator optics inside.
The accuracy of the analyzers matches that of the benchtop NIR instruments used by grain buyers, mills and accredited laboratories. Thanks to certified calibrations, farmers see exactly the same values at their own site as the trader measures at intake, which prevents unjustified deductions and disputes.
Yes. The portable models can also be powered from a 12V vehicle socket (cigarette lighter), so measurements can be taken right next to the combine harvester, at the edge of the field or at the weighbridge of the buying point. The fast result, available in under a minute, means the quality of the crop is known before it is unloaded into the silo or storage.
The analyzer uses whole-grain NIR (near-infrared) transmission technology, so neither grinding nor chemical sample preparation is required. From a single measurement it determines the moisture, protein and gluten content of grains (e.g. wheat, barley, maize, rapeseed) within seconds, and, depending on the model, the hectolitre weight and oil content as well.
Measuring on your own makes it possible to form batches by quality: premium (e.g. improver-quality) and feed batches are not mixed in storage, so the quality premium can be secured. In addition, accurate on-site moisture measurement optimises drying costs and gives you a confident bargaining position in price negotiations.
