DENMARK – iGRAIN has introduced its latest innovation, the Aeration Control Module, designed to optimize grain moisture and temperature management in storage facilities.
According to the company, as grain storage becomes increasingly challenging due to climate variability and rising risks of spoilage, this advanced system offers farmers and grain managers a reliable, automated solution for maintaining ideal storage conditions.
With the Aeration Control Module, iGRAIN aims to revolutionize grain storage by offering an efficient, automated, and adaptable solution that meets the demands of modern agriculture.
The Aeration Control Module integrates seamlessly with iGRAIN’s Dashboard Manager, Smart App, and PLC/SCADA systems, making it a versatile and effective tool for safe crop storage.
The system boasts user-friendly features, operating in automatic or semi-automatic modes, and does not require specialized skills to operate. It utilizes data from iGRAIN sensors that monitor grain temperature, moisture, CO2 levels, and weather conditions, providing real-time insights into storage environments.
The module can also integrate data from other sensor systems, ensuring a comprehensive approach to aeration management.
One of the standout features of the Aeration Control Module is its use of Equilibrium Moisture Concentration (EMC) control, which considers the entire grain mass condition, including temperature, moisture, and CO2 concentration.
Unlike traditional systems that only trigger fans when temperatures rise, the iGRAIN system targets specific grain conditions to achieve optimal results. This approach not only protects the grain from spoilage but also conserves energy by activating fans only when necessary.
Designed to adapt to any climatic zone, the Aeration Control Module is a versatile solution that suits both small-scale farms and large commercial operations. It prioritizes grain safety while optimizing value by minimizing moisture loss during storage.
Additionally, the module system is fully automated and easy to operate, ensuring that aeration is active only when beneficial. The module’s technical capabilities include communication via RS485 MODBUS with relay output modules, making it compatible with various fan control systems.
