Description
The Fibre Control Seed Counter allows, in 5 minutes, to count and weigh 1,000 grains with an accuracy guaranteed to within 0.3% on the number and within 0.2% on the weight.
Features
High-Precision Fibre Optic Detection
Counting fork made up of 32 optical fibres over 16 mm
Integrated Scale for Instant Results
Integrated balance* allows:
- To control the mass of the sample directly
- To indicate the (Poids de Mille Grains = Thousand Kernel Weight) directly
* Can be calibrated and tared
User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface
Thanks to its touch screen with drop-down menu, settings are quick and easy:
- Set desired seed count
- Adjust counting speed based on seed size (2.5 to 9 mm diameter)
- Activate scale tare and automatic stop
- View live weight and average grain weight during operation
Integrated Seeding Simulator
An integrated sowing simulator allows you to calculate the sowing dose in Kg/ha based on the sowing density in grains/m2, the germination rate and the emergence rate.
Convenient Pouring Spout
The pouring spout attaches to the bowl to cleanly collect the remaining sample at the end of counting.
Small Seed Compatibility
The device is delivered with a kit for small seeds. Fibre Control counts, weighs and immediately indicates the average grain weight of white mustard seeds.
FAQ
What does the Fibre Control Seed Counter do?
The Fibre Control Seed Counter automatically counts seeds or small particles with high speed and accuracy. It's ideal for seed testing, lot evaluation, and sampling in agricultural laboratories.
What types of seeds can the Fibre Control handle?
It supports a wide range of small to medium-sized seeds including wheat, barley, canola, soybeans, sunflower, sorghum, lentils, and even pelleted or coated seeds.
How accurate is the Fibre Control Seed Counter?
The device delivers over 99.5% counting accuracy when properly calibrated. Its optical sensors and vibration feed system ensure smooth, consistent performance.
Can the Fibre Control calculate Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW)?
Yes. The unit can be used for PMG (Poids de Mille Grains = Thousand Kernel Weight) by counting a fixed number of seeds, then weighing them using an external balance.
Is the device portable or lab-based?
The Fibre Control is a lab-based unit, built for precision seed counting in testing facilities and research centers. It’s not intended for portable field use.
What industries use the Fibre Control?
It’s used by seed testing labs, grain QA labs, agricultural R&D teams, and seed certification bodies for reliable and repeatable
