Revision 3 | Granolyser / Granolyser HL operating instructions
1 Introduction
1.1 Designated use
The
GRANOLYSER is an NIR analyzer (NIR = near infrared) for whole grain samples, such as various cereal
types, leguminous crops (pulses) and oil seeds.
The sample is filled into the instrument. The measurement is started and settings are made using the
integrated touchscreen.
The analysis parameters are defined visually. An integrated weighing system is used to determine the bulk
density (Variant HL). Various parameters are defined depending on the selected product:
• Moisture, protein, sedimentation index (Sedi), gluten, oil content, starch
• Variant HL: Bulk density = mass per hectoliter [kg/hl]
The
GRANOLYSER has two USB interfaces and one RJ45 interface for outputting and processing the
measurement results.
The
GRANOLYSER is designed as a portable instrument with a mains plug for indoor use (laboratory
environment).
Private use of the
