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.
Compare the Infracont XGrain and SGrain near-infrared grain analysers to find the best solution for grain, flour and oilseed analysis. Both instruments provide fast and accurate NIR/NIT measurements without sample preparation, while serving different operational needs: laboratory-grade precision or portable on-site analysis.

For laboratory environments, grain intake facilities and flour mills, the XGrain analyser is typically the preferred solution. It combines rapid NIR/NIT analysis with integrated hectolitre weight measurement, making it suitable for quality control, grain purchasing and production environments. For mobile testing and field inspections, the portable SGrain analyser may be a better choice.
The SGrain is specifically designed for portable grain and flour analysis. Its compact design and 12V power capability allow quality measurements to be performed directly at grain collection points, farms, storage facilities or during field inspections, eliminating the need to transport samples to a laboratory.
Infracont grain analysers can be used to analyse a wide range of agricultural products, including wheat, barley, corn, rye, oats, durum wheat, oilseeds and flour samples. Available calibrations may vary depending on the commodity and quality parameters required by the user.
