CropScan - Near Infrared Transmission Grain Analysers
Next Instruments CropScan - Grain Analyzer for Protein, Moisture, Starch, and Oil Measurement
The CropScan 3000X Grain Analyzer is a bench top tool engineered for rapid analysis of key components such as protein, moisture, starch, and oil in various grains and oil seeds, including wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, and canola. This versatility makes it suitable for diverse applications, from use in the field via car battery operation during grain harvesting, to integration within silos and processing plants handling grains and oil seeds. With its Dial-up Variable Pathlength System offering measurements at 8mm to 28mm paths, the device caters to the specific requirements of farm offices or processing facilities like oil seed crushers, flour mills, and food manufacturers. The CropScan 3000X optimizes the evaluation process by providing accurate real-time data essential for effective grain quality management and processing.
Next Instruments CropScan - Near Infrared Transmission Analyser for Grain Quality Assessment
The CropScan 3000B Near Infrared Transmission Analyser is a sophisticated tool crafted to assess various quality metrics in whole grains such as wheat, barley, canola, and more. This analyser is equipped with a Touch Screen PC, enabling it to measure crucial parameters like protein, moisture, starch, fiber, and oil contents. One of its standout features is a pour-through measuring cell with automatic pathlength selection tailored for different grain types. This ensures each analysis is optimized for accuracy. The system`s connectivity is enhanced as it can be integrated with the CropNet Grain Data Management software, allowing simultaneous data processing. Additionally, it supports attachments like a weighbridge monitor or barcode reader through USB connections for streamlined operations in load weighing and sample identification. All data can be posted online for remote access via smart devices, thus facilitating comprehensive grain management activities.
Next Instruments CropScan - Flour and Grain Analyser
The CropScan 3000F is an advanced Near Infrared Transmission spectrophotometer designed for the quick analysis of various components in cereal grains and flour. It specializes in measuring key parameters such as protein and moisture in grains, and additional factors such as ash, water absorption, and starch damage in flour. This is achieved in less than 60 seconds, making it a rapid analysis tool for the flour milling and pasta manufacturing industries. The analyzer utilizes a rotating sample dish to facilitate up to 30 sub scans, enhancing measurement accuracy. It accommodates a variety of sample formats including whole grains, oil seeds, semolina, flour, meals, and powdered materials. Equipped with a Touch Screen PC, it provides a user-friendly interface for data management, with the capability of supporting both wireless and Ethernet connectivity, allowing seamless integration within company networks.
Next Instruments CropScan - On-Combine Analyzer
The CropScan 3300H is a high-performance Near Infrared Transmission spectrometer designed to measure critical parameters like protein, oil, and moisture in cereal grains and oil seeds during harvest. This device is implemented directly on combine harvesters, assessing grains sampled from the clean grain elevator. The system features a Remote Sampling Head where grain resides momentarily as light passes through it. A fiber optic cable relays this transmitted light to the NIR spectrometer housed within the harvester's cabin. A touch screen tablet PC manages the system and offers real-time displays of essential data, including protein, oil, and moisture levels. Measurements occur every 7-12 seconds, translating to real-time displays of field and bin averages, as well as protein maps. Additionally, the software facilitates data transmission to the internet for remote monitoring across various devices. Compatible with various combine brands globally, the 3300H promises to integrate seamlessly into existing operations.
Next Instruments CropScan - On Silo Grain and Oil Seed Analyser
The CropScan 3000S is an advanced on-silo analyzer developed for precise measurement of protein, moisture, and oil content in grains and oil seeds. Ideal for applications involving augers, conveyor belts, and pneumatic pumps, this system integrates a Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectrometer within an environmentally protected enclosure. The unit also includes a touch screen PC, a large digital display, and a remote sampling head connected via fiber optic cable. By sampling grains as they pass the remote head, the system uses NIR technology to analyze the grains' properties. The collected light is transmitted back to the spectrometer for analysis. With a sampling cycle of 7-12 seconds, the analyzed data is processed and relayed to internet-connected devices or other PCs through wireless or Ethernet connections. This allows for continuous monitoring via PCs, tablets, or smartphones, making it an efficient tool for grain quality assurance in real-time.SeedCount - Image Analysis System
Next Instruments SeedCount - Seed and Grain Imaging System
The SC6000R is a sophisticated imaging system designed for capturing high-resolution images of seeds and grains in a reflectance mode. Developed by Next Instruments, it integrates with the SeedCount software to measure key physical characteristics such as length, width, breadth, color, as well as identifying broken seeds and defects. Beyond basic measurements, the system applies algorithms to evaluate attributes like blacktip, blackpoint, chalk, and fungal staining. It supports diverse application modules for crops including wheat, barley, various rice types, oats, sorghum, canola, corn, soybeans, lentils, coffee, and even specks in flour. These capabilities make it particularly useful in agricultural research and quality assessment processes, aiming to enhance the accuracy of seed evaluation and optimize crop quality management.
