A leading global agricultural network is continuing the rollout of the Insectomat 5K machines at its grain handling sites in multiple countries. This strategic move aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of insect detection in stored grains, ensuring higher quality and safety standards.
The Insectomat 5K, Exclusively Made in Britain by TEKPRO – the same company behind Samplex which produce some of the world’s largest mechanical truck samplers – is a desktop device capable of rapidly screening up to 5 kilograms of cereal grain at a time. Known for its impressive insect detection rate, the Insectomat 5K can locate even a single insect within a bulk sample, significantly reducing the risk of infestations.
Global Adoption and Benefits
The decision to adopt the Insectomat 5K machines is driven by the need for early and accurate detection of insects in grains such as wheat, barley, and oats. Traditional methods like hand sieving are often slow and unreliable, whereas the Insectomat 5K offers a quick and precise alternative, making it a valuable addition to grain handling processes.
By implementing these machines, the agricultural network aims to prevent costly infestations that can occur during storage. Early detection at the point of intake helps maintain the integrity of large grain batches, ensuring that only clean, insect-free grains are stored and distributed. This proactive approach not only safeguards the quality of the grain but also enhances health and safety standards at the facilities.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
The investment in the Insectomat 5K machines underscores a commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to improve operational efficiency and product quality. The machines are exclusively manufactured in the UK by TEKPRO, adhering to high standards of quality and reliability.
As the global agriculture industry continues to grapple with challenges related to food security and quality, the adoption of the Insectomat 5K machines represents a significant step forward. This initiative is expected to deliver a new benchmark for insect detection and grain handling practices worldwide.
