OverviewD1 Data Collection Unit from ALMACO provides accurate, real-time harvest yield data including test weight, shell weight and moisture. Designed for continuous field use, the D1 supports a cost-effective upgrade from LRX without changes to existing weight systems, load cells or moisture blades.
Multi-crop capability- Capture multi-crop harvest data from a single solution.
- Measured crops include corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, canola, rice, sunflower and more.
Features- Durable design: Operates in wet, dusty and corrosive environments; no need to remove the unit for transport or overnight storage. Operating range: up to 185° F (85° C) and down to -40° F (-40° C).
- Standardized architecture: No internal battery reduces maintenance and risk of data loss due to power failure. Compatible with electric and pneumatic actuators and fits as a replacement for similar bucket systems.
- Multi-crop versatility: Measures yield data for virtually all crop types with consistent accuracy and precision.
- Easy integration and centralized visibility: Controlled from existing Vantage HD combine software; no additional display or external controls required.
- Versatile equipment compatibility: Suitable for plot combines, seed processing lines, individual threshers and other plot harvesting solutions; compatible with ALMACO ASP and APx packagers.
- Intuitive user interface: Simple navigation with built-in diagnostics to support uptime.
- Simple calibration: ALMACO calibration supports any size moisture blade, including large blades, with step-by-step calibration guides in the system.
- Dependable access to curves: Moisture and weight curves are stored in Vantage HD software rather than in the D1 control box, allowing curve transfer between combines.
