AN820 Near Infrared Grain Tester

Reliable NIR Rice Composition Analysis on a Proven Platform

The AN820 reads protein, moisture, and amylose in whole rice using near-infrared transmittance — no crushing, no grinding, results in about 40 seconds. With eight factory-calibrated rice channels and a straightforward keypad workflow, it gives mills and buyers consistent composition readings on a dependable desktop platform.

Built for Repeatable Rice Composition

• Eight rice calibrations on board: Short and long, brown and milled, plus high-moisture and rinse-free rice channels — selectable from the keypad.
• Whole-grain, non-destructive: Total-grain NIR transmittance measures the intact sample, so nothing is wasted.
• Straightforward operation: A clear dot-matrix display and dedicated keypad keep measurement simple and repeatable across operators.
• Serial and printer output: RS-232C and direct printer output capture results for record-keeping and downstream systems.

Built for the Working Bench

A 20,000-hour tungsten lamp with grating and NMOS photodiode-array detector holds measurement stable over long service, and a built-in backup battery protects stored calibrations through power interruptions. A One Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance comes standard, with maintenance agreements available.
