1.Why NIR technology can be popularized in the field of grains?
Near-infrared (NIR) technology is widely adopted in grains for its non-destructive nature, rapid (second-level) detection, simultaneous multi-parameter analysis (moisture, protein, fat, etc.), and on-site portability, replacing lab methods to optimize procurement grading, processing control, and storage management, significantly cutting costs and boosting efficiency.
Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy revolutionizes agricultural quality control by analyzing molecular vibrations in the 950–1650 nm range. This non-destructive technology instantly quantifies critical parameters like moisture, protein, and oil content—eliminating lab delays and costly chemical reagents.
The IAS-5100 Portable NIR Analyzer redefines field-to-factory testing:
✅ One-Touch Simplicity: Pour samples into the cell, and the 7-inch touchscreen delivers multi-parameter results in seconds—no specialized training required.
✅ Enhanced Accuracy: A patented side-illumination mixing device triples precision for granular samples (e.g., soybeans, wheat), ensuring transaction-ready data.
✅ Versatile Applications: From procurement sites to processing lines, its robust database—built on decades of global harvest data—supports 12+ grain types (see table below).

Real-World Impact
• Optimized Purchasing: Detect soybean moisture (8–18% range, SEC=0.15) to prevent overpayment for low-grade crops.
• Process Control: Adjust oil extraction in real-time by monitoring rapeseed oil content (Oleic Acid: ±0.25 SEC).
• Waste Reduction: Identify substandard wheat protein levels (10–14%) before milling, reducing processing losses by 30%.
Technical Edge
Rugged Design: Operates in 5–45°C environments with IP67-rated accessories for dust-prone fields.
Instant Insights: Halogen-tungsten lamp ensures stable spectra even for challenging samples like sunflower powder.
