Headspace Insights for Effective Grain Monitoring
Managing the headspace environment within silos and grain bins is crucial for maintaining the quality of your stored grain.
Sudden temperature shifts , especially from day to night, can lead to condensation, posing a significant risk of “rain” inside the silo which can damage the stored crops. AgroLog's headspace sensor is strategically placed to detect these conditions early, allowing for proactive measures to mitigate potential damage.
Beyond temperature and moisture, the level of CO2 in the headspace is a vital indicator of the grain’s health. Elevated CO2 levels can signify the presence of microorganisms that spoil the stored grain by consuming its sugars. AgroLog's sensor technology captures these changes in CO2 levels, offering an early warning that allows for timely intervention.
Multi-Measurement: Real-time, high-quality readings of CO2, Temperature, EMC, Dewpoint, and Relative Humidity in the headspace.
CO2 Monitoring: Detects levels from 0 to 10000 ppm, serving as an early warning system for the presence of harmful microorganisms that may spoil your crops.
Condensation Prevention: Recognizes swift temperature drops that may lead to harmful condensation, sending alerts to prevent "rain" inside the silo.
Full Integration: Seamlessly works with AgroLog software, allowing you to react promptly to any changes.
Customizable Alerts: Set thresholds to receive alerts when CO2 levels fall outside of a safe range, enabling you to quickly address any issues that arise.
AgroLog's headspace sensor, coupled with the AgroLog Monitor software, represents a significant advancement in storage technology. This combination not only enhances the ability to monitor and manage the conditions within silos and grain bins but also empowers operators with the data and tools necessary for making informed decisions. By integrating this sensor into your storage management practices, you can protect your crops from spoilage, maximize yield, and maintain the highest quality of stored grains.
