GrainSense Combine Protein Meter

Instant Crop Quality Measurement from Combines

The GrainSense Combine analyzer has been developed to analyze grain quality in real-time in environments where grains are actively flowing.

Installed in the elevator of a combine harvester, the GS Combine analyzer measures online protein and moisture levels during harvesting.

Benefits and Features

• Seamless Integration: The GrainSense Combine analyzer is designed for easy installation in a wide variety of combine harvesters.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Experience the power of real-time data. With our cutting-edge technology, you can monitor grain quality as it is being harvested, providing immediate insights.
• Field Quality Mapping: The GrainSense Combine analyzer allows precise field quality mapping, helping you identify variations in grain quality across your fields.

How It Works

The GrainSense Combine analyzer is based on the proprietary GrainSense technology, proven worldwide, for measuring protein, moisture, oil, and carbohydrates from stable grain samples.

Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) with a 360° light penetration method (integrating sphere), it delivers exceptionally accurate results, even with small sample sizes, in a short amount of time.

The GrainSense Combine analyzer is installed on a combine harvester to enable continuous monitoring.

It operates through a system of grain inlet and outlet tubes, where the grains are constantly analyzed in real-time as they flow through the sensor.

All measurement data is sent to the GrainSense Cloud.

This immediate data availability allows farmers to monitor analytical results in real-time, facilitating decision-making processes related to segregation, use, and logistics of grains.

Field quality mapping supports smart fertilization and irrigation.
