CropScan 3300H On Combine Grain Analyser

Optimise yield on the field

The Technology

The CropScan 3300H is a powerful Near Infrared Transmission whole grain analyser capable of measuring protein, oil, starch, fibre and moisture in cereal grains and oil seeds as they are harvested in a combine harvester. The CropScan 3300H measure grains as they are sampled off the clean grain elevator. Grain drops into the Remote Sampling Head where it is trapped for a few seconds while light is passed through the sample. A fiber optic cable collects the transmitted light and sends it to the NIR spectrometer located inside the cab. A Touch Screen PC, which is mounted inside the cab, controls the system and displays the protein, oil , starch, fibre and moisture data in real time. Data which is collected every 5-12 seconds as the grains are harvested, is displayed on the Touch Screen PC showing bin averages, field averages and real-time Protein Maps. The software sends the data to the internet where it can be monitored using a PC, Tablet or Smart phone. Calibrations are available for hard wheat, soft wheat, durum, barley, sorghum, rice, corn, soy beans, canola, peas, beans and more.

“Measuring the Protein and Yield across the field validates any VRF, Seeding and other farm trials or practices. The crop performance is quantified by the Protein and Yield response.” Peter Klopp

The CropScan 3300H On Combine Grain Analyser measures Protein, Moisture, Oil, Starch and Fibre in grains and oil seeds every 5 to 8 seconds as they are harvested in the field. The CropScan 3300H comprises of a Sampling Head, a Fibre Optic Cable, a NIR Spectrometer and a CropScan display. As grain passes up the clean grain elevator, grain fills the remote sample head and the NIR scan is collected. The results for Protein, Moisture, Oil, Starch and Fiber are displayed on the CropScan display in the form of Field Data, Field Maps, Graphs, Tank Data, Field and Site Storage Data which are then synced to the user’s CropScanAg Cloud Account. The data enables farmers to make better decisions regarding when to start harvest, blending grain and improving Nitrogen management practices across the farm.

• Accurate Moisture Readings – Accurate Moisture measurements mean farmers can harvest for more hours each day and have confidence in every load of grain delivered.
• Grain Logistics – Optimise crop payments based on accurate Protein blending. The CropScan Grain Logistics software enables farmers to manage the quality and quantity of their grain from the field.
• Nitrogen Management – The CropScan 3300H can assist farmers to achieve higher Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) across their farm. Combining Protein and Yield data provides a more complete picture of Nitrogen Availability and Uptake across the field.
