Infratec™ 1241 Grain Analyser

The 3rd generation Infratec™ 1241 is the world’s most widely used grain analyser. Based on 60 years of experience, Infratec™ is recognised by the global grain industry as the trusted method for grain analysis.

Infratec™ 1241 Grain Analyser

Overview

Value

The global standard in grain analysis with a calibration database covering more than 20 years of harvest. Reliable even in a harsh environment.

Sample Type

Barley, wheat, corn and other cereals, oilseeds, beans and pulses.

Parameters

Moisture, protein, oil, test weight, starch, wet gluten, fibre, ash and many more.

Features

ANN calibrations
ANN calibrations

The huge Infratec™ database comprises over 50.000 cross checked samples, PLS and robust ANN-based calibrations building on a wide sample range from many years of harvests. This gives a level of accuracy and stability that enables Infratec™ to test even the most unusual samples anywhere in the world.
