Grain storage grain probe

The iGRAIN Sensor Probes are designed to monitor the biological processes during storage in silos and containers. The monitoring is based primarily on gas analysis. Because ambient air surrounding the grain kernels spread evenly and rapidly in a silo or container, a single point measurement is often most efficient and most economical. iGRAIN has developed monitoring expertise to monitor different biological eco-systems such as: • Stored grain like wheat, rice, corn, etc. • Special application for storage of barley for malting purposes • Storage of cocoa or coffee beans • Storage of nuts such as pistachio, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, etc. • Storage of feed pellets, including short-term storage before packaging. • Monitoring of oil-seed meal from soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, etc. • Storage of palm oil seed • Monitoring of wood pellets or wood chips etc. • Composting applications All of these storage applications require monitoring and possibly aeration control. All sensors interfaces with the iGRAIN Dashboard Manager software for easy storage and inventory management. Monitoring gases The following gases can be monitored with iGRAIN sensors: • Relative humidity in the storage container/silo • Seed, grain, or other bio-material absolute humidity (EMC calculation) • Carbon Dioxide – CO2 – monitoring infestation, and quantifying it • Carbon Dioxide – CO2 – applied to monitor germination processes • Volatile Organic Gases – VOC, monitoring organic volatile gases • Hydrocarbon Gases – CₙHₘ, monitoring gases in the oil seed industry • Oxygen monitoring – O2 – monitoring anaerobic conditions • Temperature monitoring – always included
