Moisture content and specific weight
The Company Pfeuffer
distributes internationally high quality laboratory instruments for grain acceptance,
grain trading companies, mills, warehouses, silos, malting plants, breweries, and seed
production.
|
Granomat - fully automatic moisture meter for
whole grains
made for Seed Production, Grain Trade
and Stores, Warehouses, Malting and Feed Plants.
| The Granomat is according
to the international technical recommendations of the OIML (Organization for approved
measuring); It belongs to category A, class II. The Granomat measures the capacity (dielectric constant) of the whole
grain sample. It determines the moisture of the product as well as the bulk density
(specific weight) of the whole corn. Grinding of the sample is not necessary. The Granomat
can test all cereals, legumes, oil seeds, maize and malt. The memory stores up to 100
different calibrations. The sample volume is 600 ml.

Measurement
principle |
| The measurement is fully
automatic. The user puts the sample into the funnel of the Granomat, chooses the requested
product and presses the key MEASURE. The input of a sample identification is also
possible. The Granomat fills the measurement cell automatically. This guarantees a
constant bulk density. The stripping device removes the grains which are not necessary for
the measurement and provides for a constant volume. The measurement of the capacity,
weight and temperature of the sample is carried out within a couple of seconds. These
three parameters have an influence on the result. The measurement cell is discharged and
the sample falls into the drawer and can be used for further analysis. The Granomat
indicates the measured product moisture, the bulk density (expressed in kg/hl) and the
temperature of the sample and prints the results by means of the integrated printer. |
Fully
automatic
measurement |
| Two serial and a parallel
interface for the connection to an external printer or to a PC are integrated into the
instrument. The Grano-mat carries out a self-test automatically and checks its accuracy by
means of the measurement of internal comparative capacities after switching on. It is
sturdy and maintenance-free. The modular construction gua-rantees a high ease of
servicing. |
Equipment |
| New product curves can be
programmed directly by means of reference samples with known moisture content via the
PC-programme GranoMaster. The programme supports the graphic preparation of the
calibration curve for the new product. It runs under Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows
NT. |
