Overview

High-capacity on-board measurement system, up to 66.6 L, engineered for the most demanding applications in agronomic research. The system fits any single- or double-plot combine and delivers reliability even in the harshest field conditions.

It measures the product's moisture, temperature, weight and specific weight, with the option to add NIRS data. Thanks to advanced weighing-filter software and refined calibration curves, the system delivers accurate measurements without ever stopping the machine. Compatible with the Automata ZEMIRA control and data-acquisition software. It can also be integrated as a retrofit solution on older machinery with an obsolete measurement system.

Optimised to enable continuous harvesting with no stops between plots, maximising the combine's operating efficiency and the number of plots that can be processed per day.

  • High-strength mechanical structure that fits any single- or double-plot combine harvester.
  • Measures the product's moisture, temperature, weight and specific weight in a single cycle.
  • Advanced weighing-filter software and refined calibration curves: accurate measurements without stopping the machine.
  • Compatible with the Automata pneumatic sampler: sample collection directly from the cab, with barcode or RFID tag identification.
  • Available as a retrofit solution to upgrade older machinery with an obsolete measurement system.
  • Fully inspectable for easy cleaning and access to the mechanical and measurement components.
  • Every configuration is fully customisable, for maximum integration flexibility.
