Application area

Contador 2 is a newly developed instrument based on practical experience with the famous seed counter Contador. The proven use of feed containers, short feed distance and high count precision are now complemented by a much higher count rate. It reached about you with the traditional Contador. It takes 90s to count 1000 rams, with Contador 2 it only takes 12s. Feed containers for small seeds (no. 1) or grains (no. 2) provide fast and flexible use for different seed types. This concept allows rapid replacement of samples without having to empty counting channels.

Operation

The feeding container is placed on Contador 2 and the sample is filled. The device automatically recognizes the container and loads the most suitable parameters. After defining the count quantity, a magnet holds the feed container and causes a vibrating element oscillation. A specially developed algorithm provides an optimal feed rate to ensure a high count rate and accuracy. Counting parameters and feed rate can also be set individually and saved in a separate configuration. The container is designed for a volume of 250 cm³. This is approximately approx. 35,000 rapeseed. Wheat (270 cm³) version approx. 4,500.

Design

PC Software

The “ SeedCount ” software  makes it possible to fill the sample series with the filling station  Contafill . The number of bags as well as the number of bags can be defined in the “manual count” mode. Auto mode uses XLS tables, which makes it possible to complete heterogeneous count lists in a very short time.

A label printer can print information such as the test location and the number of grains. The operator only has to separate the bags, attach the empty ones and apply the corresponding tags. The request to replace the original sample is confirmed directly by the operator by the computer.
