Isobus - Digital grain loss monitor

The Mescomp Digital Grain Loss Monitor - The world novelty

At present the manufacturers of harvesters are furnishing the combine harvesters with traditional grain loss monitors. The main shortcomings of those devices are well-known to you - the necessity of performing calibration, low accuracy and reliability, complete unsuitability in modern combine harvesters equipped with a radial straw spreader, total ineffectiveness in case of small grain, rapeseed for instance. What is more - when you have performed the calibration at certain speed, then, with the change of velocity it starts misinforming the operator. Various sizes and moisture content are another sources of inaccurate readings of currently produced grain loss monitors.

The grain loss monitor differs from traditional monitors installed in harvesting combines in such a way that it records every single stroke of a grain irrespective of its size, moisture and velocity at which it strikes the sensor beam. The digital processing of the signal eliminates errors resulting from chaff and small straw fragments hitting the beam. It is the first device in the world where the DSI method is implemented. The DSI, which stands for Digital Signal Identification for precise measurement of lost grain, was registered at the patent office. Thanks to implementation of that method the monitoring devices as produced by Mescomp do not have any adjustment knobs and no onerous calibrations by the combine operator are necessary. This is especially useful in new combine harvesters with a radial straw spreader.

To visualize losses, you can use an Isobus monitor from any manufacturer. After programming the permissible amount of lost grains, the device will signal with a sound that this level has been exceeded.

Even though the device can operate in any type of a combine harvester, yet the Mescomp digital grain loss monitor should be installed in heavy duty combines, operating on hilly fields or with variety of kinds of soil, where traditional grain loss monitors installed by manufacturers usually do not work properly.
