INFRALUM FT-12 WHOLEGRAIN
Rapid analysis of grain quality parameters
Rapid analysis of grain quality parameters (determination of protein, moisture, gluten content, vitreousness and other parameters of wheat). Determination of oil content, protein and other quality parameters of interest in cereals and grain legumes. Analysis results are obtained within 1.5 minutes, no reagents required.
USED FOR PROCESS INSPECTION OF WHOLE GRAINS AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN THE AGRICULTURAL CHAIN, FROM CROP MANAGEMENT, GRAIN TRADING TO GRAIN STORAGE AND PROCESSING
|
Grain elevators and grain receivals |
NIR Analyzers InfraLUM FT-12 WholeGrain provides incoming grain quality control in each truck for grain storage and sorting in lots according to prescribed quality parameters. The determination of the grain quality in each truck reduces the risk of inadequate grain placing in grain silo and makes grain quality adulteration less probable. The use of NIR analyzers makes it possible to reduce the downtime of the grain delivery trucks in queue during harvest campaign. |
|
Grain trading companies |
The use of NIR analyzers equipped with unified corporate calibration software provides the uniformity of the quality assurance testing at all company’s facilities. |
