Introduction:

In the grain industry, proper storage of grain is essential to avoid spoilage and reduce germination. This becomes even more critical in the case of soybeans, which are more susceptible to spoilage due to their high oil content. It is crucial to maintain proper moisture levels for soybean storage, with commercial soybeans stored at 13% moisture or less for winter storage and soybean seed stored at 12% moisture or less over one planting season.

Challenge:

Ensuring proper moisture levels in soybeans can be a challenge, as the drying process can easily damage the fragile soybeans if air temperature is too hot or too dry. Additionally, rough handling during the process can also harm the grain.

Solution:

To address this challenge, Seztec offers the TRIME GWs grain moisture probe, a state-of-the-art, radar-based in-line moisture sensor that can be installed in grain conveyors, bins, or dryers. The sensor provides real-time and accurate moisture measurements in soybeans, allowing for precise temperature control during the drying process and ensuring optimal grain health.

Features:

Versatile: TRIME GWs grain moisture probe is perfect for materials such as soybeans, corn, rice, wheat, cereals, oil seeds, pulses, dried fruit, animal feed or animal fodder, cat food, dog food, woodchips, powders, granulate, and any other type of grain.

Real-time measurement: TRIME GWs sensor provides real-time moisture measurements in soybeans, allowing for precise temperature control during the drying process.

Data transfer: All TRIME probes are offered with a variety of standard industry outputs and communication protocols to meet every data transfer need. The measured parameters such as moisture content, conductivity, and temperature can be transferred directly into a PLC via two analogue outputs 0(4)…20 mA or imported via an RS485 and IMP-Bus interface.

User-friendly: TRIME GWs grain moisture probe can be connected directly to a local PC (USB port) via the SM-USB module or the field display, SONO-VIEW, allowing for easy adjustments and calibrations.

Conclusion:

TRIME GWs grain moisture probe provides an effective solution for maintaining proper moisture levels in soybeans and ensuring optimal grain health during the storage and delivery process. With its real-time measurement and versatile compatibility, it is a valuable tool for the grain industry.
