Portable NIR Analyzer for Real-Time Analysis

Green Force Commercio Essiccazione Cereali Srl is a company dedicated to grain drying and storage that has optimized its operations with X-NIR, the portable NIR analyzer for real-time analysis.

This innovative analyzer enables rapid and accurate quality control of incoming raw materials, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in the acceptance and storage process.

Who is “Green Force”?

Founded in 1998 in the province of Mantua, Green Force has evolved over the years into a key player in the grain storage sector. With a capacity to store up to 250,000 quintals of grain annually—including corn, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum—the company has refined its processes to handle peaks of 15,000 quintals per day and accommodate over 100 trailers during peak seasons.

To enhance the efficiency of its raw material acceptance and storage, Green Force implemented X-NIR, a cutting-edge handheld NIR analyzer. This decision has led to significant operational improvements, reducing downtime and ensuring optimal storage conditions.

How X-NIR Transformed Green Force’s Operations

The adoption of X-NIR has provided Green Force with multiple benefits, including:

• Reducing Downtime: instant analysis speeds up the commodity acceptance stage, minimizing delays;
• Avoiding Storage Errors: immediate identification of grain characteristics prevents the mixing of different quality batches, ensuring optimal inventory management;
• Increasing Product Value: quick and reliable measurements of protein content and specific weight allow the company to meet the exact requirements of mills and pasta producers;
• Enhancing Raw Material Evaluation: the ability to analyze protein content in less than a minute ensures better decision-making for grain storage and processing;
• Preventing Quality Loss: X-NIR helps avoid the penalization of high-quality grain by preventing the storage of different grain types together.

X-NIR: A Game-Changer in Grain Analysis

The X-NIR handheld analyzer has proven to be an essential tool in overcoming one of the biggest challenges in the grain industry: proper storage management. Without real-time insights into key grain characteristics, it is impossible to store commodities correctly. X-NIR solves this issue by delivering immediate and accurate data on dry matter, protein, fat, ash, and other essential parameters.

Moreover, the analyzer provides crucial insights into the ratio between specific weight and protein, a key factor in grain storage. By leveraging these precise measurements, Green Force can efficiently allocate storage space and meet the specific demands of mills and pasta factories according to the characteristics of the product.

With X-NIR, Green Force has successfully optimized its production process, improving efficiency, accuracy, and overall grain quality management. By integrating real-time NIR analysis into its operations, the company ensures superior product quality while maintaining its position as a leading grain storage and processing facility in the Mantua region.

The case of Green Force highlights how technology-driven solutions like X-NIR can revolutionize traditional industries, bringing greater precision, efficiency, and profitability to grain management processes.
