CropScan 3000X On Farm Whole Grain Analyser

Next Instruments’ CropScan 3000X On Farm Whole Grain Analyser is designed to accurately measure protein, moisture, oil and starch in wheat, barley, oats, sorghum, corn, soybean, canola, lupins and peas. It is planned as the replacement for the CropScan 1000H Whole Grain Analyser.

While it uses the same optics and electronics, the 3000X is designed as a compact version of the CropScan 3000B and 3000BT models.

The Cr3000X features a manually adjusted pathlength cell. Different grains require different pathlengths. The previous system, the Cr1000H, used a set of inserts or spacers to change the pathlength inside the grain flow cell. The latest version uses a dial-up mechanism which allows the operator to select the appropriate pathlength. The software prompts the operator to select the appropriate pathlength depending on the grain or oil seed to be analysed.

The other advantage of the Cr3000X over the Cr1000H is the 7″ touch screen PC user interface, which provides operators the ability to select unlimited products with up to five constituents for each product.
