Grain Sampling Devices for Accurate and Fast Quality Analysis
Learn about the advantages of grain samplers that allow obtaining representative grain samples from a stream or from railcars.
Grain quality is a key factor for the successful operation of entities engaged in grain cultivation, processing, and sales. It affects productivity, profitability, and product competitiveness. Therefore, quality control of grain is a mandatory stage at all stages of its processing and storage.
To conduct grain quality analysis, modern laboratory equipment is required, enabling rapid, accurate, and reliable determination of various indicators such as moisture, protein, fat, gluten, acid value, and others. However, before analysis, it is necessary to take a proper grain sample that reflects its average characteristics.
For this purpose, special devices - grain samplers - are used. They allow obtaining representative grain samples from various sources - stream, railcar, truck, ship, and others. There are different types of grain samplers, differing in operating principle, construction, and functionality.
Company PromInvestService, a leader in grain drying and storage, offers its clients:
- Grain Sampler in Stream - this is an automatic device for sampling grain from a stream on a conveyor or belt. The sampler has a rotor with blades that periodically submerge into the stream and capture a specific amount of grain. The grain is then transported through a pipeline to a container for analysis. The sampler operates according to a preset program and can sample with different frequencies and volumes.
- Railcar Grain Sampler - this is an automatic device for sampling grain from hopper railcars. The sampler has a telescopic boom with a probe at the end, which moves along rails above the railcars. The probe descends into the grain pile and takes a sample from the entire depth. The sample is then transported through a pipeline to a container for analysis. The sampler can take samples from different points in the railcar and from different railcars.
Grain samplers from PromInvestService are modern and efficient solutions for controlling grain quality at all stages of its processing and storage. They will help you obtain accurate and reliable analysis results, increase your productivity, profitability, and product competitiveness.
