Fully Automatic Near Infrared Grain Analyzer 680-1050nm / Portable Near-Infrared Analyzer: Instant Grain Insight/ Quick Non-Destructive Laboratory Near Infrared Grain Analyzer/ Whole Wheat Feed Rice Water Protein Quality Tester
The Portable Near-Infrared Analyzer is a cutting edge device crafted to bring laboratory grade quality examination to the workplace, silo or to any of the processing lines.
This instrument uses the highly advanced Near-Infrared (NIR) technology, and it helps in providing fast, non-damaging and multi-index quantitative analysis all across a great range of essential commodities, which includes wheat, corn, rice, soybean, and Oryza Sativa (rice varieties).
It is a tremendously beneficial tool for farmers, grain processors and handlers, that makes it enabled in fast decision making, when it comes to acquisition, storage, and processing of grains, maintaining the value and also offering complete prevention from quality degradation.
Portable NIR Analyzer vs Handheld NIR Spectrometer — What This Grain Analyzer Offers
A near infrared analyzer built for grain testing needs to survive dust, movement and constant use, not just sit quietly on a lab bench. This portable NIR analyzer is built exactly for that: a rugged, battery-powered handheld NIR spectrometer that a farmer, miller, or grain trader can carry between silos, trucks and processing lines without losing accuracy. Whether your team calls it an NIR meter, an NIR analyser, or simply a portable VNIR analyzer, the working principle stays the same, fast, non-destructive testing without grinding or chemical prep.
For teams testing grain right where it's harvested or stored, this grains NIR portable device also works well as a portable NIR analyzer for on-site testing, cutting the delay of sending samples to a lab. It's built along the same lines as a portable NIR food analyzer, since grain quality testing shares the same NIR absorption principles used across food science.
How it Works
The device works on the principle of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, which offers you quick and precise outcomes with the help of a simple, non-destructive process:
- Sample Placement: A certain amount of the grain sample is put directly into the analyzer's designated sample dish. There is no need for grinding or chemical preparation.
- Light Emission: The equipment directs Near-Infrared (NIR) light onto the surface of the sample.
- Interaction and Absorption: The NIR light interacts with the organic chemical bonds (O-H, C-H, N-H) within the grain, where components like moisture, protein, oil, and starch absorb the light selectively as per their unique wavelengths.
- Reflection and Measurement: The light which is not absorbed is reflected back to the internal detector, which is highly sensitive.
- Calibration Comparison: The built-in software quickly compares this spectral "fingerprint" against precise, pre-determined calibration models.
- Result Display: The analyzer displays multi-index quantitative results (including Moisture, Fat, and Protein) on its screen in real-time, with accuracy mainly within seconds.
Principles — Portable Near Infrared Analyzer
The core technology is Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy.
- Molecular Overtones: NIR light mainly interacts with characteristic molecular bonds (O-H, C-H, N-H) present in organic matter. Each primary quality factor (like Protein, Moisture, Oil or Fat) has a specific overtone or absorption pattern in the NIR segment of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Non-Destructive Testing: The process depends on absorption of light and not on chemical reaction, making sure the sample always stays intact and untouched by anything unnecessary.
- Multi-Index Quantitative Analysis: By calculating how intense the absorption of light is at certain wavelengths, the equipment can accurately and simultaneously measure how concentrated the multiple chemical compounds are that are present inside the specimen, offering a comprehensive quality report quickly and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Near Infrared Grain Analyzer
What is a near infrared grain analyzer used for?
It is used for fast, non-destructive testing of moisture, protein, oil, starch and other quality parameters in grains like wheat, corn, rice and soybean.
How does a portable NIR analyzer work?
It directs near-infrared light onto a grain sample, measures how much light is absorbed by organic bonds within the grain, and compares this spectral pattern against calibration models to display results in seconds.
Is grain testing with an NIR meter destructive to the sample?
No, NIR testing is non-destructive. There is no need for grinding or chemical preparation, so the sample remains intact after testing.
Which grains can this handheld NIR spectrometer test?
It can test wheat (moisture, protein, wet gluten), rice and Oryza Sativa (moisture, amylose, protein), soybean (moisture, protein, fat), and corn (moisture, starch, protein).
How long does a test take on this NIR analyzer?
Detection takes less than 2 minutes per sample, with results displayed on the intelligent touch screen.
Can this portable NIR analyzer be used for on-site testing at silos or trucks?
Yes, it runs on a high-capacity lithium battery and is built for use at the workplace, silo or processing line, not just in a lab.
What is the wavelength range of Yatherm's near infrared grain analyzer?
It covers a wavelength range including 700-1050nm, using a 256 pixel silicon diode array detector with a fixed grating and no moving parts.
What is the price of a portable NIR analyzer in India?
Pricing depends on the calibration models and accessories required for your specific grains. Contact Yatherm Scientific for the current price list.
