Martin Lishman has introduced the AgroLog moisture and temperature probe to its comprehensive line-up of crop-quality equipment. The introduction meets demands from the grain sector for an accurate crop moisture and temperature probe that combines precision and ease of use in a single package.
Timed perfectly for the 2023 season, this cutting-edge 2.0m probe offers instant temperature and moisture readings, serving as the ultimate portable monitoring solution. Equipped with five on-board sensors and an extensive calibration process, it can accurately determine the moisture content of stored grain.
The probe’s standout feature is its seamless wireless capabilities. Once positioned in the crop, it automatically collects moisture and temperature data and sends it via the cellular network to the cloud for further analysis. The data can be conveniently accessed and manipulated using the AgroLog app, available for iOS and Android smartphones. Additionally, a web-app version is accessible on any internet-enabled device.
“The AgroLog probe is an exciting addition to our crop-quality range,” Martin Lishman’s managing director, Joel Capper, said. “We believe this probe fills a gap in the market, and we’re confident that farmers across the UK will find it a valuable tool to use in their stores.”
With its advanced sensor technology, the AgroLog probe provides users with crucial knowledge of the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) specific to their grain. Understanding the EMC is essential for effective grain drying. Farmers and grain handlers can ensure safe storage conditions while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and economic losses associated with over-drying.
The multiple sensors inside the AgroLog Probe assist in identifying the location of the drying front. By confirming when the lower levels of grain have reached their target moisture content, the probe helps users decide when to turn off heaters so that fresh airflow can be utilised, reducing the risk of over-drying and saving energy.
Constructed from the highest quality materials, the AgroLog probe is designed to withstand the rigours of farm use. Its construction incorporates aluminium, fibreglass and ABS, ensuring its durability, and it’s weatherproof to withstand the harshest storage conditions.
