Easy to Set Up, Simple to Use The newest grain testing instrument is also the easiest to use! The GAC2100 Grain Analysis Computer makes testing a simple process that is quick and accurate, whether done on the bench or as a part of an automated test stream. |
|
Accurate Automatic
The GAC2100 is a model of accuracy because it eliminates the potential for guesswork or operator error
- Self-Loading - automatic loading of the test cell and strike-off leveling ensure consistent sample size
- Automatic Weighing - compensaes for variations in test weight, which affect moisture readings
- Automatec Temperature Correction - measures and compensates for variations in sample temperature
- Automatec Moisture Compensation - measures both electrical concuctance and capacitive reactance to compensate for varieations in surface moisture
Datalogging and Interface Options
New GAC2100 communication options are designed to simplify the repetitive nature of grain moisture measurement.
Computer Communication
Set up and operate your GAC2100 directly from your PC or through modem communications. The easy-to-use communications software uses many of the popular Window 95 features to emulate the capabilities of the GAC2100 on your desktop.
- Simplify the datalogging of samples;
- Operate your system dirctly form your personal computer.
Integrated Operation
Improve your grain analysis process with a fully integrated system. Combine the new GAC2100a with an automatic grain through operation.
The new GAC2100a combines all of the features of the standard model with a buil5-in hopper sensor. this elevated sensor detects when enough grain is present for testing. Communication between the GAC2100a and the sampler controls the flow of grain and starts the automatic measurement cycle. The measurement cycle repeats every 30 seconds depending upon the availability of a grain sample.
- Reduce the variability in your process;
- Provide consistent sample handling;
- Allow unattended operation;
- Provide system availability when samples need to be measured;
- Allow one person to monitor several units.
