For early detection of storage problems at low cost, secure your storage with our wireless CO2 grain monitoring sensors. They help detect a problem in your bin or your warehouse, like water infiltration, the beginnings of mildew, or grain trying to heat up.
Our sensors don't just measure CO2, they also monitor temperature and moisture levels, giving you the critical insights needed to prevent crop damage.
The benefits:
Early detection of heated grain, mold
and insects.
4 times faster than cabled sensors
20 times more surface cover than cabled sensors
SMS early warning system in case
of problem
Common storage problems
Grains sticking to the walls
Mold problems on the walls often appear in soybean bins. Grain that is slightly too moist, combined with cold autumn days and a lack of ventilation at harvest, are all causes that favor condensation on the walls.
Heated grain and bin core
Even after drying, grain stored in a bin remains at risk of heating up. Broken grain accumulated in the center of the bin, compacted during filling, complicates ventilation. When temperatures are warm (20°C) at harvest, grain leaving the dryer can reach 25-28°C. At this temperature, the grain can continue to transpire, which can quickly cause thermal runaway and overheating of your grain.
Rooftop condensation
As your grain cools, the warm, moisture-laden air leaving the grain mass can condense on the roof of your bin, even at 10°C! This condensation can create water droplets. Over time, if these droplets fall on your grain, the top layer of grain will harden and form a crust.
