Grain trade

Infracont grain analyzers provide grain traders with essential support for fast, on-site quality checks of the batches they buy and sell.

Verified quality in every grain transaction

As in production, it is equally important for traders to check the quality of the batches they are buying. With the Infracont SGrain instrument, harvested batches can be tested even at the edge of the field, and offers can be made on them based on their quality.

But in general, it can be stated that it is worth checking the loads during every commercial transaction (as well as during all outloading and loading) to be sure of the quality of the batches sent/received and to avoid disputes arising from quality complaints.

The Infracont SGrain is also an excellent solution for smaller traders in the portable category, as it can be operated from 12V (car cigarette lighter), its measurement accuracy rivals that of more expensive models, but its price/value ratio is much more favourable.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should grain be tested during the trading process?

At every commercial transaction: it is worth testing the load at purchase, at outloading and at loading. This way the trader can be sure of the quality of the batches sent and received, and documented measurement results help avoid disputes arising from quality complaints. Infracont analyzers print the result immediately with their built-in printer, and measurements can later be retrieved and exported from the InfraCloud cloud service.

Why is the Infracont SGrain a good choice for smaller grain traders?

Because it is portable and can be operated from 12V (a car cigarette lighter socket or an external battery), so grain can be tested anywhere. Thanks to its grating monochromator optics, its measurement accuracy rivals that of more expensive models, while its price/value ratio is much more favourable. This makes it a worthwhile investment in on-site quality testing for smaller traders as well.

Why should a grain trader check the quality of purchased batches with their own instrument?

Because the value of grain is determined by its quality parameters, so a trader can only make a well-founded offer when the quality has been measured. With the portable Infracont SGrain NIR grain analyzer, a harvested batch can be tested even at the edge of the field: it provides moisture, protein and gluten content from a whole-grain sample without grinding, so there is no need to wait days for external lab results.
