Laboratory seed counter

Since the weight of individual grains of bulk goods such as seeds or granules can vary, an average weight of 1000 grains is used as a characteristic parameter. This Thousand Grain Weight TGW (also called 1000 grain mass) is a quality criterion in seed tests, which must be measured with great accuracy. The TGW or the derived value “number of parts per gram” is also an important feature in the production and quality control of technical and pharmaceutical granules. Using an additional software module, an electronic balance and a special base frame, the elmor C3 precision counter can be used to directly determine the TGW of a sample. Both the C3 and the balance are connected to the control computer. A freely selectable quantity is counted and falls on the weighing pan. At the end of the counting process, the weight of the sample and the corresponding number of particles are automatically transferred to the PC, where the TGW is calculated. Technical data: • Scales are available with a resolution of 1 mg, 10 mg or 100 mg. • The data of the elmor C3 seed counter and the scale are sent to the control computer where the Thousand Grain Weight ist calculated • All data are stored so that retraceability is possible • For quality assurance requirements, the correct operation of the elmor C3 counter can be proven with a built-in self test feature. • The equipment allows tests to be carried out in accordance with ISO 520.
