A World of Quality

  STOWAGE EXAM CAMERA SYSTEM

Seedburo Equipment Company, in conjunction with several federally licensed grain inspectors, has assembled a video camera system with the purpose of helping grain inspectors to provide Stowage Exams for railcar loading facilities.   A high definition video camera will help keep inspectors off rail cars, may reduce some of your workmen's compensation issues, and can reduce the overall time for moving railcar through your facility.  This means reduced costs for you to handle railcar inspections!

As of February 2009, USDA-GIPSA/FGIS has issued Program Notice FGIS-PN-09-03 which provides guidelines on the use of closed circuit camera/monitor packages.  The proper selection of camera, lighting system, monitors, and installation will make for a system which will meet the USDA - GIPSA/FGIS requirements for Stowage Exams and that is exactly how and why licensed grain inspectors helped us put this package together!

All you will need to do is have your local electrician or maintenance staff mount the light (s) and camera (s), route the cabling to your inspection office, install the monitor and a simple A/B switch so the inspector can toggle between inspecting the railcars and, (depending upon whether you have ordered more than one camera) a wide angle view of the cars, a view under the cars, or even a diverter sampler - the choice is yours!

We reserve the right to substitute another brand of monitor of equal or better quality at the time of ordering.
²The SEC-C is an high resolution analog CCD (charge coupled device) camera, which requires no technical maintenance and no network switch.  The camera is directly connected to the monitor via coaxial video cable.  It has a Varifocal lens which is set by the user when the camera is installed and then the distance is fixed (this is not a zoom lens, but this option is available at additional cost and requires additional wiring and a controller.  Contact us for pricing) ensuring a clear view of the bottom of the container.  Additional cameras can be installed for viewing hatches to ensure they are closed, or for viewing under cars to see that gates are closed.
