ZX-50

ZX-50 Portable Whole Grain Analyzer

  • Adjustable, reusable 5-30, cuvette for different grain sizes
  • Up to 10 calibrations.

ZX-50 Portable Whole Grain Analyser

The Zeltex ZX-50 Portable Whole Grain Analyser 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 analyser and analyse.

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.
