Protein & Nitrogen Testing  

The Whole Grain Analyzer provides an accurate measurement of multiple constituents (protein, fat/oil, moisture, sugar, etc.) within 45 seconds, and is simple to operate. Just pour the grain in the sample holder, insert holder in analyzer and analyze.

The ZX-50 PGA is designed to meet the needs of those people who would like to know more than moisture about their crop.

The ZX-50 provides a rapid and cost effective analysis of protein and moisture content, thereby enabling the Professional Farmer to maximise profits through correct segregation and blending of grains. Equally valuable the ZX-50 can be used to screen loads of grain quickly to segregate the grain for processing and milling accurately and efficiently.

Imagine being able to measure the true moisture and temperature of your grain while it was still inside the drier, and still be able to do something about it.

The Sinar DM system allows you to do just that. It gives you the information you need to be able to make the correct drying decisions in your continuous flow or batch drier.

The Sinar DM system uses a unique sensor configuration designed specifically to cope with the harsh environment found inside grain dryers. The sensor is easily mounted using several bolts, and one 4-core cable is run back to the display unit that can be up to 100m from the sensor.

From the display unit, which is powered from a 240v AC supply, the operator can:

Display the moisture using the specific calibration for the crop currently in the dryer. The reading is automatically updated every 4 secs.
Display the temperature of the grain
Average the readings taken so far
Output to a data logger/computer

The calibrations can be adjusted using the keypad on the display, and new calibrations can be easily added at a later date.
