Application Case | IR2300 Near-Infrared Grain Analyzer Enhances Grain Station Receiving and Storage Efficiency
2026-03-24
Optosky's near-infrared spectroscopy instrument series includes handheld inspection devices, laboratory testing equipment, and on-site testing tools, fully leveraging the advantages of near-infrared technology in rapid, non-destructive, and accurate detection. These instruments are applied in smart agriculture, water quality testing, food safety, public safety, industrial inspection, and other fields. This edition focuses on the application of the IR2300 Near-Infrared Grain Analyzer in grain quality testing.
01 Application Overview
Application Direction: Rapid Monitoring of Grain Quality Parameters
In the grain industry chain, indicators such as moisture content, protein content, amylose content, and fatty acid value directly affect the processing quality and nutritional value of grains. Traditional testing methods often require tedious sample preparation and experimental procedures, which are time-consuming and inefficient. This not only affects the pace of grain purchasing and shipping but also easily leads to quality judgment errors due to testing delays, increasing the operational risks for enterprises. Customers urgently need a fast, stable, and accurate testing tool to meet the demands of large-scale sample testing and high-frequency detection.
02 Application Cases
Recently, the IR2300 Near-Infrared Grain Analyzer was successfully deployed at a local grain quality inspection center, helping customers achieve rapid detection of parameters such as moisture content, protein content, and amylose content in grains.
The IR2300 Near-Infrared Grain Analyzer has a maximum spectral range of 570nm to 1100nm, enabling it to sensitively capture the spectral information of grains and quickly and accurately analyze parameters such as moisture, protein, and amylose in rice, as well as moisture and fatty acids in paddy. Users simply pour the grain sample into the instrument without tedious sample preparation and obtain test results within 30 seconds.
Customers have deployed the IR2300 at the grain purchasing stage to quickly determine moisture and amylose content, significantly improving detection efficiency at the acquisition site and avoiding purchasing delays caused by manual waiting or data lag. At the grain shipping stage, the IR2300 is used for quality verification and stability control, helping enterprises effectively prevent quality risks.
