Infratec Nova and Infratec TM

    Infratec NOVA and Infratec TM are whole grain and flour analyzers based on infrared spectroscopy that are used for simultaneous measurement of a wide range of grain, oilseed, legume parameters as well as their derivative products.

 

Differences between Infratec TM and Infratec NOVA

  • Infratec TM does not support Sample Transportation Module (STM).
  • Price of Infratec TM includes 4 calibrations to choose from.
  • The wavelength is 570 nm – 1100 nm (as in the Infratec 1241), while the Infratec NOVA has a wavelength of 400 nm – 1100 nm.
  • A fixed display is mounted on the front panel of the device (Infratec TM).

 

GREAT SOLUTION FOR ACCURATE GRAIN TESTING

    If you need to assess the value of grain and oilseeds, you need to know that quality as soon as possible and of course in the most reliable way. Thanks to Infratec NOVA and Infratec TM you can do this by minimizing the training requirements for operators during busy harvest season and therefore reducing the risk of operator error. Built-in tablet-like screen provides easy and intuitive operation of the device. Infratec is easy-to-use due to a special software. This device suits perfectly even if you need to hire seasonal employees because you do not need expensive and time-consuming training. It should also be noted that Infratec NOVA and Infratec TM are 30% smaller and lighter than previous models. This device is more transportable and does not take up a lot of space on the table. In addition, this model is fully backward-compatible, which makes it possible to transfer calibration from earlier models of Infratec for free.

Advantages of the device:

  • Large number of samples.
  • It is possible to analyze the entire kernel, not just the surface.
  • Modulation of near infrared signals.
  • Deeper penetration.
  • Low influence of particle size.

 

Touch screen

     Infratec NOVA is equipped with tablet-like screen makingанализатор цельного зерна INFRATEC NOVA the benefits of operation obvious. This screen is easily tilted for optimal viewing of the results. It is also used to facilitate the data input with the help of the onscreen keyboard.

     Infratec TM is equipped with the built-in fixed 10” touchscreen of the last generation without tilting.

 

Measurement

    It should be noted that it is easy to analyze various products. To perform the analysis we анализатор17need to choose the calibration and type of sample and then start the analysis. It is worth mentioning that this device conducts internal self-regulation to get the required results. Regardless of the installation conditions, we can easily plug in and turn on the device. It is very easy to prepare the device for operation. It is enough to turn it on and after a short self-test, you can already get accurate results.

Stabilisng technique

    It should be noted that the accuracy of the results does not depend on samples and the temperature change. Therefore, you will get correct results under all conditions.
