How to Update Calibrations on a GAC2700 Moisture Analyzer

How to Pack and Ship a GAC2700 or GAC2500 Moisture Tester for Service

When your moisture tester needs repair, calibration or routine service, properly preparing the instrument for shipment is an important first step. Dickey-john GAC moisture testers are precision instruments, so simply placing the unit in a standard shipping box may not provide enough protection during transit. The tester should be packed in the appropriate custom shipping box and foam inserts, and the load cell locking brackets should be secured before transportation. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company walks through the process for preparing a GAC moisture tester for shipment to AgPoint Precision for service. This process applies to the GAC2700UGMA, GAC2700AGRI, GAC2500UGMA and GAC 2500AGRI. Why Is Proper Packaging Important When Shipping a GAC Moisture Tester? A GAC moisture tester contains sensitive components designed to provide accurate grain moisture measurements. Before the tester travels through UPS, FedEx or another carrier, it should be secured so the instrument cannot shift excessively inside the box. The custom GAC shipping box uses fitted foam inserts to keep the tester and its accessories properly positioned during transportation. In the video, Sean explains that the tester should have a snug fit and should not move around inside the box. What Do You Need to Ship a GAC Moisture Tester for Service? Before packing the tester, gather: The correct GAC shipping box Custom foam inserts Protective plastic bag Allen key Packing tape Sample cup Power cord What If You No Longer Have the Original GAC Shipping Box? If the original box or foam inserts were discarded, contact Seedburo or AgPoint before shipping the instrument. A replacement shipping box with the appropriate custom foam can be provided for an additional cost. Using the correct packaging helps protect the investment and reduce the risk of shipping-related damage. Step 1: Remove the Sample Cup and Power Cord Begin by removing the sample cup from the moisture tester and unplugging the power cord. Set both components aside. They will be packed separately inside the custom foam later in the process. Step 2: Lock the Load Cell Before Shipping One of the most important steps is securing the load cell locking brackets before transporting the moisture tester. The locking mechanism is located underneath the instrument. To secure it: Carefully place the tester on its back. Locate the load cell locking bracket. Loosen the Allen screw holding the bracket in place. Move the bracket from the operating position into the locked position. Reinstall the Allen screw into the threaded hole. Tighten it securely with the Allen key. Once the locking bracket is secured, return the tester to its upright position. Step 3: Wrap the Moisture Tester Place the protective plastic bag around the tester. Sean recommends gathering the excess plastic to one side and tucking it in so the tester remains neatly protected before placing it into the foam insert. Step 4: Place the Tester Into the Custom Foam Position the moisture tester inside the bottom foam insert in the proper orientation. When correctly installed, the tester should fit snugly inside the packaging. Place the sample cup in its designated foam cutout and coil the power cord so it can be securely positioned alongside the instrument. Step 5: Install the Top Foam and Seal the Box Place the top custom foam insert over the tester. Make sure the Allen key is returned to its designated location so it stays with the instrument. Close the shipping box and secure the top with several strips of packing tape. Your moisture tester is then ready to be shipped for service. Need Your GAC Moisture Tester Serviced?

Sasso Mill for Corn Toxin Testing: Sample Preparation and 20-Mesh Demonstration

Accurate toxin testing starts with properly prepared grain samples. If a sample is not ground consistently, it can affect the material used for analysis and make it more difficult to obtain a representative test sample. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the Sasso Mill using corn and shows how the mill can be adjusted to produce a finely ground sample suitable for toxin-testing preparation. The demonstration focuses on achieving approximately 95% of the corn sample through a 20-mesh screen, while also showing how the Sasso Mill’s feed system, grinding plates, and built-in subsampling capabilities work. What Is the Sasso Mill Used For? The Sasso Mill is designed for grinding grain samples into a consistent particle size for laboratory and quality-control applications. For toxin-testing workflows, proper sample preparation is particularly important because the material being analyzed needs to accurately represent the larger grain sample. In this demonstration, the Sasso Mill is used to grind a corn sample before checking the finished material with a 20-mesh screen. How Does the Sasso Mill Prepare Corn for Toxin Testing? The Sasso Mill moves grain from its holding hopper through adjustable grinding plates that reduce the sample to a fine particle size. During the demonstration, Sean: Adds the corn sample to the mill's holding hopper. Starts the mill before feeding material into the grinding chamber. Adjusts the slide feeder to control how quickly corn enters the mill. Allows the sample to pass through the grinding plates. Collects a subsample for toxin-testing preparation. Checks the finished grind using a 20-mesh screen. After screening the processed corn, very little material remains above the 20-mesh screen, demonstrating the fine grind produced by the mill. What Does “95% Through a 20-Mesh Screen” Mean? When a grain sample is evaluated using a 20-mesh screen, the objective demonstrated in this video is for approximately 95% of the processed corn sample to pass through the screen. A 20-mesh screen provides a practical way to evaluate whether the grain has been ground finely enough for the intended toxin-testing sample preparation. In the video, Sean pours the finished corn sample onto the screen and shows that very little material remains above the mesh. Sasso Mill Features Shown in the Video 10-Pound Holding Hopper The Sasso Mill shown in the demonstration includes a 10-pound holding hopper, providing capacity for larger grain samples before they enter the grinding chamber. Adjustable Feed Slide The feed slide controls the rate at which grain moves from the hopper into the grinding discs. For the corn and soybean applications discussed in the video, Sean recommends keeping the feed opening at 50% or less while processing the sample. Integrated Subsampling One of the key features demonstrated is the mill's subsampling system. Different subsampler configurations can be used to divert approximately: 10% of the sample 25% of the sample 50% of the sample 75% of the sample The demonstration uses approximately a 10% subsampler, allowing a smaller portion of the processed material to be collected separately. This can be particularly useful when preparing a manageable testing sample from a larger quantity of grain. Adjustable Grinding Plates The Sasso Mill allows the grinding plates to be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size. Sean explains that the plates can initially be brought together and then backed off before gradually adjusting them while testing the resulting grind. This allows the operator to dial in the mill until the desired amount of sample passes through the 20-mesh screen. Multiple Sample Collection Options The demonstration shows the subsample being collected in a sample bag while the primary discharge is directed into a bucket. A discharge sock can also be attached to the primary outlet depending on the preferred collection setup. How Do You Adjust the Sasso Mill for a 20-Mesh Sample? The grind should be adjusted gradually rather than assuming one plate setting will work for every sample. As demonstrated in the video, the basic process is: Start with the grinding plates adjusted, process a sample, screen the finished material, and then make incremental plate adjustments until the desired grind is achieved. Because grain conditions and sample characteristics can vary, verifying the finished product with the appropriate screen provides a practical way to confirm the mill setup. Why Is Subsampling Important in Grain Toxin Testing? A toxin-testing result depends heavily on the sample being tested. Grinding and subsampling help transform a larger grain sample into a smaller quantity that can be used for analysis while maintaining as much consistency as possible throughout the preparation process. The Sasso Mill combines grinding and selectable subsampling capabilities into one system, allowing operators to prepare a fine sample while separating a predetermined portion for further testing. Frequently Asked Questions About the Sasso Mill Can the Sasso Mill grind corn for toxin testing? Yes. In the demonstration above, the Sasso Mill is used to grind corn into a fine sample that is then evaluated using a 20-mesh screen. What screen size is demonstrated with the Sasso Mill? Sean uses a 20-mesh screen to evaluate the finished corn sample. How much of the sample should pass through a 20-mesh screen? The target discussed in the video is approximately 95% of the corn sample passing through a 20-mesh screen for the toxin-testing application being demonstrated. Does the Sasso Mill have a subsampler? Yes. The mill shown in the video can be configured with approximately 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% subsampling options. What size motor does the Sasso Mill use? The unit demonstrated in the video has a 1.5-horsepower, 110-volt, 60-hertz motor. Does the Sasso Mill include a vacuum? The stand provides a location where a vacuum can be used, but Sean notes that a vacuum is not included with the mill and would need to be supplied separately. Can the grinding plates be adjusted? Yes. The plate spacing can be adjusted to change the finished particle size. Operators can process and screen samples while gradually adjusting the plates until the desired grind is achieved. Prepare Consistent Grain Samples With the Sasso Mill For laboratories, grain inspection operations, elevators, processors, and other facilities performing grain quality or toxin testing, consistent sample preparation is an important part of the testing process. The Sasso Mill provides adjustable grinding, controlled feeding, and integrated subsampling in one system to help operators prepare finely ground grain samples for further analysis.  VIEW THE SASSO MILL → Need help determining the right mill, subsampler configuration, or sample-preparation equipment for your operation?

How to Test Foreign Material in Soybeans Using the 9000AG Scale

Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating soybean quality. With the proper sieve, sample pans, and grain grading scale, operators can separate foreign material from a soybean sample and calculate its percentage of the total sample. In this video, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the complete testing process using the 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment:  9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale  8/64 Round Commercial Sieve  Bottom Catch Pan  Two Triangular Sample Pans  A representative soybean sample, typically around 250 grams Step 1: Prepare the Sieve and Scale Place the 8/64 round commercial sieve inside the bottom catch pan. Next, place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Because the pan has its own weight, press the Zero button to tare the scale before adding the soybean sample. Step 2: Weigh and Store the Soybean Sample Pour the soybean sample into the triangular pan and allow the scale reading to stabilize. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the percentage of foreign material after the sample has been sieved. Remove the soybean sample from the scale and transfer it to the 8/64 round sieve. Return the same tared triangular pan to the scale. Step 3: Sieve the Sample Shake the sieve using 30 back-and-forth strokes. This motion separates foreign material from the soybeans, allowing the smaller material to pass through the sieve and collect in the bottom catch pan. For consistent results, use a controlled and repeatable motion throughout the test. Step 4: Weigh the Foreign Material After completing the 30 strokes, collect the foreign material from the bottom catch pan and place it into the triangular pan on the scale. The 9000AG will first display the weight in grams. Switch the scale to percentage mode to view the foreign material as a percentage of the original soybean sample.

How to Test Foreign Material in Corn Using the 9000AG Grain Grading Scale

 Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating the quality of a corn sample. The Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale simplifies the process by storing the original sample weight and automatically calculating the percentage of foreign material after separation. In the video below, Sean from Seedburo walks through the complete process for testing foreign material in corn. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment: Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale Two triangular sample pans  12/64 round-hole sieve  E bottom catch pan A representative corn sample of approximately 250 grams Step 1: Assemble the Sieve and Catch Pan Place the 12/64 round-hole sieve inside the E bottom catch pan. The sieve allows smaller foreign material to pass through while retaining the corn kernels above it. Step 2: Zero the Sample Pan Place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Press the Zero button to tare the scale. This removes the weight of the pan so the scale measures only the sample and separated foreign material. Keep this same pan available for the final measurement. Step 3: Weigh and Store the Corn Sample Place the corn sample in the second triangular pan and set it on the scale. Corn samples used for this process are typically around 250 grams. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the final foreign material percentage. Step 4: Transfer the Sample to the Sieve Pour the corn sample onto the 12/64 sieve. Return the tared triangular sample pan to the scale so it is ready for the separated foreign material. Step 5: Shake the Sieve Set Shake the sieve set for 30 individual strokes. One complete back-and-forth motion counts as two strokes. This means the sieve should be moved through 15 complete back-and-forth motions to equal 30 individual strokes. As the sieve is shaken, smaller foreign material passes through the sieve and collects in the bottom catch pan. Step 6: Weigh the Foreign Material Remove the top sieve from the catch pan. Transfer the foreign material collected in the bottom pan into the triangular sample pan that was previously tared on the scale. The display will initially show the weight in grams. Step 7: Display the Percentage Press the Percentage button on the 9000AG. The scale will compare the foreign material weight with the stored original sample weight and display the foreign material percentage. In the video demonstration, the corn sample measured 0.22% foreign material, indicating a relatively clean sample. Make Corn Testing More Efficient The 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale helps streamline grain grading by storing sample weights and calculating percentage results directly on the scale. It can be used as part of a repeatable process for evaluating corn and other grain samples.

How to Pack and Ship a GAC2700 or GAC2500 Moisture Tester for Service

When your moisture tester needs repair, calibration or routine service, properly preparing the instrument for shipment is an important first step. Dickey-john GAC moisture testers are precision instruments, so simply placing the unit in a standard shipping box may not provide enough protection during transit. The tester should be packed in the appropriate custom shipping box and foam inserts, and the load cell locking brackets should be secured before transportation. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company walks through the process for preparing a GAC moisture tester for shipment to AgPoint Precision for service. This process applies to the GAC2700UGMA, GAC2700AGRI, GAC2500UGMA and GAC 2500AGRI. Why Is Proper Packaging Important When Shipping a GAC Moisture Tester? A GAC moisture tester contains sensitive components designed to provide accurate grain moisture measurements. Before the tester travels through UPS, FedEx or another carrier, it should be secured so the instrument cannot shift excessively inside the box. The custom GAC shipping box uses fitted foam inserts to keep the tester and its accessories properly positioned during transportation. In the video, Sean explains that the tester should have a snug fit and should not move around inside the box. What Do You Need to Ship a GAC Moisture Tester for Service? Before packing the tester, gather: The correct GAC shipping box Custom foam inserts Protective plastic bag Allen key Packing tape Sample cup Power cord What If You No Longer Have the Original GAC Shipping Box? If the original box or foam inserts were discarded, contact Seedburo or AgPoint before shipping the instrument. A replacement shipping box with the appropriate custom foam can be provided for an additional cost. Using the correct packaging helps protect the investment and reduce the risk of shipping-related damage. Step 1: Remove the Sample Cup and Power Cord Begin by removing the sample cup from the moisture tester and unplugging the power cord. Set both components aside. They will be packed separately inside the custom foam later in the process. Step 2: Lock the Load Cell Before Shipping One of the most important steps is securing the load cell locking brackets before transporting the moisture tester. The locking mechanism is located underneath the instrument. To secure it: Carefully place the tester on its back. Locate the load cell locking bracket. Loosen the Allen screw holding the bracket in place. Move the bracket from the operating position into the locked position. Reinstall the Allen screw into the threaded hole. Tighten it securely with the Allen key. Once the locking bracket is secured, return the tester to its upright position. Step 3: Wrap the Moisture Tester Place the protective plastic bag around the tester. Sean recommends gathering the excess plastic to one side and tucking it in so the tester remains neatly protected before placing it into the foam insert. Step 4: Place the Tester Into the Custom Foam Position the moisture tester inside the bottom foam insert in the proper orientation. When correctly installed, the tester should fit snugly inside the packaging. Place the sample cup in its designated foam cutout and coil the power cord so it can be securely positioned alongside the instrument. Step 5: Install the Top Foam and Seal the Box Place the top custom foam insert over the tester. Make sure the Allen key is returned to its designated location so it stays with the instrument. Close the shipping box and secure the top with several strips of packing tape. Your moisture tester is then ready to be shipped for service. Need Your GAC Moisture Tester Serviced?

Sasso Mill for Corn Toxin Testing: Sample Preparation and 20-Mesh Demonstration

Accurate toxin testing starts with properly prepared grain samples. If a sample is not ground consistently, it can affect the material used for analysis and make it more difficult to obtain a representative test sample. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the Sasso Mill using corn and shows how the mill can be adjusted to produce a finely ground sample suitable for toxin-testing preparation. The demonstration focuses on achieving approximately 95% of the corn sample through a 20-mesh screen, while also showing how the Sasso Mill’s feed system, grinding plates, and built-in subsampling capabilities work. What Is the Sasso Mill Used For? The Sasso Mill is designed for grinding grain samples into a consistent particle size for laboratory and quality-control applications. For toxin-testing workflows, proper sample preparation is particularly important because the material being analyzed needs to accurately represent the larger grain sample. In this demonstration, the Sasso Mill is used to grind a corn sample before checking the finished material with a 20-mesh screen. How Does the Sasso Mill Prepare Corn for Toxin Testing? The Sasso Mill moves grain from its holding hopper through adjustable grinding plates that reduce the sample to a fine particle size. During the demonstration, Sean: Adds the corn sample to the mill's holding hopper. Starts the mill before feeding material into the grinding chamber. Adjusts the slide feeder to control how quickly corn enters the mill. Allows the sample to pass through the grinding plates. Collects a subsample for toxin-testing preparation. Checks the finished grind using a 20-mesh screen. After screening the processed corn, very little material remains above the 20-mesh screen, demonstrating the fine grind produced by the mill. What Does “95% Through a 20-Mesh Screen” Mean? When a grain sample is evaluated using a 20-mesh screen, the objective demonstrated in this video is for approximately 95% of the processed corn sample to pass through the screen. A 20-mesh screen provides a practical way to evaluate whether the grain has been ground finely enough for the intended toxin-testing sample preparation. In the video, Sean pours the finished corn sample onto the screen and shows that very little material remains above the mesh. Sasso Mill Features Shown in the Video 10-Pound Holding Hopper The Sasso Mill shown in the demonstration includes a 10-pound holding hopper, providing capacity for larger grain samples before they enter the grinding chamber. Adjustable Feed Slide The feed slide controls the rate at which grain moves from the hopper into the grinding discs. For the corn and soybean applications discussed in the video, Sean recommends keeping the feed opening at 50% or less while processing the sample. Integrated Subsampling One of the key features demonstrated is the mill's subsampling system. Different subsampler configurations can be used to divert approximately: 10% of the sample 25% of the sample 50% of the sample 75% of the sample The demonstration uses approximately a 10% subsampler, allowing a smaller portion of the processed material to be collected separately. This can be particularly useful when preparing a manageable testing sample from a larger quantity of grain. Adjustable Grinding Plates The Sasso Mill allows the grinding plates to be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size. Sean explains that the plates can initially be brought together and then backed off before gradually adjusting them while testing the resulting grind. This allows the operator to dial in the mill until the desired amount of sample passes through the 20-mesh screen. Multiple Sample Collection Options The demonstration shows the subsample being collected in a sample bag while the primary discharge is directed into a bucket. A discharge sock can also be attached to the primary outlet depending on the preferred collection setup. How Do You Adjust the Sasso Mill for a 20-Mesh Sample? The grind should be adjusted gradually rather than assuming one plate setting will work for every sample. As demonstrated in the video, the basic process is: Start with the grinding plates adjusted, process a sample, screen the finished material, and then make incremental plate adjustments until the desired grind is achieved. Because grain conditions and sample characteristics can vary, verifying the finished product with the appropriate screen provides a practical way to confirm the mill setup. Why Is Subsampling Important in Grain Toxin Testing? A toxin-testing result depends heavily on the sample being tested. Grinding and subsampling help transform a larger grain sample into a smaller quantity that can be used for analysis while maintaining as much consistency as possible throughout the preparation process. The Sasso Mill combines grinding and selectable subsampling capabilities into one system, allowing operators to prepare a fine sample while separating a predetermined portion for further testing. Frequently Asked Questions About the Sasso Mill Can the Sasso Mill grind corn for toxin testing? Yes. In the demonstration above, the Sasso Mill is used to grind corn into a fine sample that is then evaluated using a 20-mesh screen. What screen size is demonstrated with the Sasso Mill? Sean uses a 20-mesh screen to evaluate the finished corn sample. How much of the sample should pass through a 20-mesh screen? The target discussed in the video is approximately 95% of the corn sample passing through a 20-mesh screen for the toxin-testing application being demonstrated. Does the Sasso Mill have a subsampler? Yes. The mill shown in the video can be configured with approximately 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% subsampling options. What size motor does the Sasso Mill use? The unit demonstrated in the video has a 1.5-horsepower, 110-volt, 60-hertz motor. Does the Sasso Mill include a vacuum? The stand provides a location where a vacuum can be used, but Sean notes that a vacuum is not included with the mill and would need to be supplied separately. Can the grinding plates be adjusted? Yes. The plate spacing can be adjusted to change the finished particle size. Operators can process and screen samples while gradually adjusting the plates until the desired grind is achieved. Prepare Consistent Grain Samples With the Sasso Mill For laboratories, grain inspection operations, elevators, processors, and other facilities performing grain quality or toxin testing, consistent sample preparation is an important part of the testing process. The Sasso Mill provides adjustable grinding, controlled feeding, and integrated subsampling in one system to help operators prepare finely ground grain samples for further analysis.  VIEW THE SASSO MILL → Need help determining the right mill, subsampler configuration, or sample-preparation equipment for your operation?

How to Test Foreign Material in Soybeans Using the 9000AG Scale

Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating soybean quality. With the proper sieve, sample pans, and grain grading scale, operators can separate foreign material from a soybean sample and calculate its percentage of the total sample. In this video, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the complete testing process using the 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment:  9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale  8/64 Round Commercial Sieve  Bottom Catch Pan  Two Triangular Sample Pans  A representative soybean sample, typically around 250 grams Step 1: Prepare the Sieve and Scale Place the 8/64 round commercial sieve inside the bottom catch pan. Next, place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Because the pan has its own weight, press the Zero button to tare the scale before adding the soybean sample. Step 2: Weigh and Store the Soybean Sample Pour the soybean sample into the triangular pan and allow the scale reading to stabilize. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the percentage of foreign material after the sample has been sieved. Remove the soybean sample from the scale and transfer it to the 8/64 round sieve. Return the same tared triangular pan to the scale. Step 3: Sieve the Sample Shake the sieve using 30 back-and-forth strokes. This motion separates foreign material from the soybeans, allowing the smaller material to pass through the sieve and collect in the bottom catch pan. For consistent results, use a controlled and repeatable motion throughout the test. Step 4: Weigh the Foreign Material After completing the 30 strokes, collect the foreign material from the bottom catch pan and place it into the triangular pan on the scale. The 9000AG will first display the weight in grams. Switch the scale to percentage mode to view the foreign material as a percentage of the original soybean sample. Simplify Grain Grading Calculations The 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale helps operators weigh samples, store the original sample weight, and calculate percentages without performing the calculations manually.

Step 2: Weigh and Store the Soybean Sample Pour the soybean sample into the triangular pan and allow the scale reading to stabilize. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the percentage of foreign material after the sample has been sieved. Remove the soybean sample from the scale and transfer it to the 8/64 round sieve. Return the same tared triangular pan to the scale. Step 3: Sieve the Sample Shake the sieve using 30 back-and-forth strokes. This motion separates foreign material from the soybeans, allowing the smaller material to pass through the sieve and collect in the bottom catch pan. For consistent results, use a controlled and repeatable motion throughout the test. Step 4: Weigh the Foreign Material After completing the 30 strokes, collect the foreign material from the bottom catch pan and place it into the triangular pan on the scale. The 9000AG will first display the weight in grams. Switch the scale to percentage mode to view the foreign material as a percentage of the original soybean sample.

How to Test Foreign Material in Corn Using the 9000AG Grain Grading Scale

 Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating the quality of a corn sample. The Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale simplifies the process by storing the original sample weight and automatically calculating the percentage of foreign material after separation. In the video below, Sean from Seedburo walks through the complete process for testing foreign material in corn. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment: Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale Two triangular sample pans  12/64 round-hole sieve  E bottom catch pan A representative corn sample of approximately 250 grams Step 1: Assemble the Sieve and Catch Pan Place the 12/64 round-hole sieve inside the E bottom catch pan. The sieve allows smaller foreign material to pass through while retaining the corn kernels above it. Step 2: Zero the Sample Pan Place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Press the Zero button to tare the scale. This removes the weight of the pan so the scale measures only the sample and separated foreign material. Keep this same pan available for the final measurement. Step 3: Weigh and Store the Corn Sample Place the corn sample in the second triangular pan and set it on the scale. Corn samples used for this process are typically around 250 grams. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the final foreign material percentage. Step 4: Transfer the Sample to the Sieve Pour the corn sample onto the 12/64 sieve. Return the tared triangular sample pan to the scale so it is ready for the separated foreign material. Step 5: Shake the Sieve Set Shake the sieve set for 30 individual strokes. One complete back-and-forth motion counts as two strokes. This means the sieve should be moved through 15 complete back-and-forth motions to equal 30 individual strokes. As the sieve is shaken, smaller foreign material passes through the sieve and collects in the bottom catch pan. Step 6: Weigh the Foreign Material Remove the top sieve from the catch pan. Transfer the foreign material collected in the bottom pan into the triangular sample pan that was previously tared on the scale. The display will initially show the weight in grams. Step 7: Display the Percentage Press the Percentage button on the 9000AG. The scale will compare the foreign material weight with the stored original sample weight and display the foreign material percentage. In the video demonstration, the corn sample measured 0.22% foreign material, indicating a relatively clean sample. Make Corn Testing More Efficient The 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale helps streamline grain grading by storing sample weights and calculating percentage results directly on the scale. It can be used as part of a repeatable process for evaluating corn and other grain samples.

Before packing the tester, gather: The correct GAC shipping box Custom foam inserts Protective plastic bag Allen key Packing tape Sample cup Power cord What If You No Longer Have the Original GAC Shipping Box? If the original box or foam inserts were discarded, contact Seedburo or AgPoint before shipping the instrument. A replacement shipping box with the appropriate custom foam can be provided for an additional cost. Using the correct packaging helps protect the investment and reduce the risk of shipping-related damage. Step 1: Remove the Sample Cup and Power Cord Begin by removing the sample cup from the moisture tester and unplugging the power cord. Set both components aside. They will be packed separately inside the custom foam later in the process. Step 2: Lock the Load Cell Before Shipping One of the most important steps is securing the load cell locking brackets before transporting the moisture tester. The locking mechanism is located underneath the instrument. To secure it: Carefully place the tester on its back. Locate the load cell locking bracket. Loosen the Allen screw holding the bracket in place. Move the bracket from the operating position into the locked position. Reinstall the Allen screw into the threaded hole. Tighten it securely with the Allen key. Once the locking bracket is secured, return the tester to its upright position. Step 3: Wrap the Moisture Tester Place the protective plastic bag around the tester. Sean recommends gathering the excess plastic to one side and tucking it in so the tester remains neatly protected before placing it into the foam insert. Step 4: Place the Tester Into the Custom Foam Position the moisture tester inside the bottom foam insert in the proper orientation. When correctly installed, the tester should fit snugly inside the packaging. Place the sample cup in its designated foam cutout and coil the power cord so it can be securely positioned alongside the instrument. Step 5: Install the Top Foam and Seal the Box Place the top custom foam insert over the tester. Make sure the Allen key is returned to its designated location so it stays with the instrument. Close the shipping box and secure the top with several strips of packing tape. Your moisture tester is then ready to be shipped for service. Need Your GAC Moisture Tester Serviced?

How to Measure Foreign Material in Wheat Using the Seedburo 9000AG Scale

Accurately measuring foreign material is an important part of wheat grading and quality evaluation. In this video, we demonstrate how to use the Seedburo 9000AG Grain Dockage Scale with a 0.064" x 3/8" Slotted Sieve, two Triangular Sample Pans, and an E Bottom Catch Pan to quickly determine the percentage of foreign material in a wheat sample. The process begins by storing the original wheat sample weight on the 9000AG. After separating the foreign material from the wheat using the slotted sieve and the recommended shaking procedure, the collected material is placed back on the scale. With the press of the Percent button, the 9000AG automatically calculates the percentage of foreign material based on the original stored sample weight. This eliminates manual calculations and helps make wheat testing faster, more efficient, and more consistent. Whether you're working in a grain elevator, seed facility, inspection lab, or research environment, this workflow provides a simple and repeatable method for evaluating foreign material in wheat. Products Featured in This VideoSeedburo 9000AG Grain Dockage Scale The 9000AG Grain Dockage Scale is designed for grain grading and dockage testing, allowing users to store sample weights and instantly calculate percentages for faster, more consistent wheat quality analysis. 0.064" x 3/8" Slotted Sieve The 0.064" x 3/8" Slotted Sieve is used to separate foreign material from wheat samples, making it an essential component of the testing process. Triangular Sample Pans Two Triangular Sample Pans are used during the procedure—one for holding the original wheat sample and another for weighing the separated foreign material. E Bottom Catch Pan The E Bottom Catch Pan collects the foreign material separated from the wheat during the sieving process so it can be accurately weighed on the 9000AG.

How to Pack and Ship a GAC2700 or GAC2500 Moisture Tester for Service

When your moisture tester needs repair, calibration or routine service, properly preparing the instrument for shipment is an important first step. Dickey-john GAC moisture testers are precision instruments, so simply placing the unit in a standard shipping box may not provide enough protection during transit. The tester should be packed in the appropriate custom shipping box and foam inserts, and the load cell locking brackets should be secured before transportation. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company walks through the process for preparing a GAC moisture tester for shipment to AgPoint Precision for service. This process applies to the GAC2700UGMA, GAC2700AGRI, GAC2500UGMA and GAC 2500AGRI. Why Is Proper Packaging Important When Shipping a GAC Moisture Tester? A GAC moisture tester contains sensitive components designed to provide accurate grain moisture measurements. Before the tester travels through UPS, FedEx or another carrier, it should be secured so the instrument cannot shift excessively inside the box. The custom GAC shipping box uses fitted foam inserts to keep the tester and its accessories properly positioned during transportation. In the video, Sean explains that the tester should have a snug fit and should not move around inside the box. What Do You Need to Ship a GAC Moisture Tester for Service? Before packing the tester, gather: The correct GAC shipping box Custom foam inserts Protective plastic bag Allen key Packing tape Sample cup Power cord What If You No Longer Have the Original GAC Shipping Box? If the original box or foam inserts were discarded, contact Seedburo or AgPoint before shipping the instrument. A replacement shipping box with the appropriate custom foam can be provided for an additional cost. Using the correct packaging helps protect the investment and reduce the risk of shipping-related damage. Step 1: Remove the Sample Cup and Power Cord Begin by removing the sample cup from the moisture tester and unplugging the power cord. Set both components aside. They will be packed separately inside the custom foam later in the process. Step 2: Lock the Load Cell Before Shipping One of the most important steps is securing the load cell locking brackets before transporting the moisture tester. The locking mechanism is located underneath the instrument. To secure it: Carefully place the tester on its back. Locate the load cell locking bracket. Loosen the Allen screw holding the bracket in place. Move the bracket from the operating position into the locked position. Reinstall the Allen screw into the threaded hole. Tighten it securely with the Allen key. Once the locking bracket is secured, return the tester to its upright position. Step 3: Wrap the Moisture Tester Place the protective plastic bag around the tester. Sean recommends gathering the excess plastic to one side and tucking it in so the tester remains neatly protected before placing it into the foam insert. Step 4: Place the Tester Into the Custom Foam Position the moisture tester inside the bottom foam insert in the proper orientation. When correctly installed, the tester should fit snugly inside the packaging. Place the sample cup in its designated foam cutout and coil the power cord so it can be securely positioned alongside the instrument. Step 5: Install the Top Foam and Seal the Box Place the top custom foam insert over the tester. Make sure the Allen key is returned to its designated location so it stays with the instrument. Close the shipping box and secure the top with several strips of packing tape. Your moisture tester is then ready to be shipped for service. Need Your GAC Moisture Tester Serviced?

Sasso Mill for Corn Toxin Testing: Sample Preparation and 20-Mesh Demonstration

Accurate toxin testing starts with properly prepared grain samples. If a sample is not ground consistently, it can affect the material used for analysis and make it more difficult to obtain a representative test sample. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the Sasso Mill using corn and shows how the mill can be adjusted to produce a finely ground sample suitable for toxin-testing preparation. The demonstration focuses on achieving approximately 95% of the corn sample through a 20-mesh screen, while also showing how the Sasso Mill’s feed system, grinding plates, and built-in subsampling capabilities work. What Is the Sasso Mill Used For? The Sasso Mill is designed for grinding grain samples into a consistent particle size for laboratory and quality-control applications. For toxin-testing workflows, proper sample preparation is particularly important because the material being analyzed needs to accurately represent the larger grain sample. In this demonstration, the Sasso Mill is used to grind a corn sample before checking the finished material with a 20-mesh screen. How Does the Sasso Mill Prepare Corn for Toxin Testing? The Sasso Mill moves grain from its holding hopper through adjustable grinding plates that reduce the sample to a fine particle size. During the demonstration, Sean: Adds the corn sample to the mill's holding hopper. Starts the mill before feeding material into the grinding chamber. Adjusts the slide feeder to control how quickly corn enters the mill. Allows the sample to pass through the grinding plates. Collects a subsample for toxin-testing preparation. Checks the finished grind using a 20-mesh screen. After screening the processed corn, very little material remains above the 20-mesh screen, demonstrating the fine grind produced by the mill. What Does “95% Through a 20-Mesh Screen” Mean? When a grain sample is evaluated using a 20-mesh screen, the objective demonstrated in this video is for approximately 95% of the processed corn sample to pass through the screen. A 20-mesh screen provides a practical way to evaluate whether the grain has been ground finely enough for the intended toxin-testing sample preparation. In the video, Sean pours the finished corn sample onto the screen and shows that very little material remains above the mesh. Sasso Mill Features Shown in the Video 10-Pound Holding Hopper The Sasso Mill shown in the demonstration includes a 10-pound holding hopper, providing capacity for larger grain samples before they enter the grinding chamber. Adjustable Feed Slide The feed slide controls the rate at which grain moves from the hopper into the grinding discs. For the corn and soybean applications discussed in the video, Sean recommends keeping the feed opening at 50% or less while processing the sample. Integrated Subsampling One of the key features demonstrated is the mill's subsampling system. Different subsampler configurations can be used to divert approximately: 10% of the sample 25% of the sample 50% of the sample 75% of the sample The demonstration uses approximately a 10% subsampler, allowing a smaller portion of the processed material to be collected separately. This can be particularly useful when preparing a manageable testing sample from a larger quantity of grain. Adjustable Grinding Plates The Sasso Mill allows the grinding plates to be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size. Sean explains that the plates can initially be brought together and then backed off before gradually adjusting them while testing the resulting grind. This allows the operator to dial in the mill until the desired amount of sample passes through the 20-mesh screen. Multiple Sample Collection Options The demonstration shows the subsample being collected in a sample bag while the primary discharge is directed into a bucket. A discharge sock can also be attached to the primary outlet depending on the preferred collection setup. How Do You Adjust the Sasso Mill for a 20-Mesh Sample? The grind should be adjusted gradually rather than assuming one plate setting will work for every sample. As demonstrated in the video, the basic process is: Start with the grinding plates adjusted, process a sample, screen the finished material, and then make incremental plate adjustments until the desired grind is achieved. Because grain conditions and sample characteristics can vary, verifying the finished product with the appropriate screen provides a practical way to confirm the mill setup. Why Is Subsampling Important in Grain Toxin Testing? A toxin-testing result depends heavily on the sample being tested. Grinding and subsampling help transform a larger grain sample into a smaller quantity that can be used for analysis while maintaining as much consistency as possible throughout the preparation process. The Sasso Mill combines grinding and selectable subsampling capabilities into one system, allowing operators to prepare a fine sample while separating a predetermined portion for further testing. Frequently Asked Questions About the Sasso Mill Can the Sasso Mill grind corn for toxin testing? Yes. In the demonstration above, the Sasso Mill is used to grind corn into a fine sample that is then evaluated using a 20-mesh screen. What screen size is demonstrated with the Sasso Mill? Sean uses a 20-mesh screen to evaluate the finished corn sample. How much of the sample should pass through a 20-mesh screen? The target discussed in the video is approximately 95% of the corn sample passing through a 20-mesh screen for the toxin-testing application being demonstrated. Does the Sasso Mill have a subsampler? Yes. The mill shown in the video can be configured with approximately 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% subsampling options. What size motor does the Sasso Mill use? The unit demonstrated in the video has a 1.5-horsepower, 110-volt, 60-hertz motor. Does the Sasso Mill include a vacuum? The stand provides a location where a vacuum can be used, but Sean notes that a vacuum is not included with the mill and would need to be supplied separately. Can the grinding plates be adjusted? Yes. The plate spacing can be adjusted to change the finished particle size. Operators can process and screen samples while gradually adjusting the plates until the desired grind is achieved. Prepare Consistent Grain Samples With the Sasso Mill For laboratories, grain inspection operations, elevators, processors, and other facilities performing grain quality or toxin testing, consistent sample preparation is an important part of the testing process. The Sasso Mill provides adjustable grinding, controlled feeding, and integrated subsampling in one system to help operators prepare finely ground grain samples for further analysis.  VIEW THE SASSO MILL → Need help determining the right mill, subsampler configuration, or sample-preparation equipment for your operation?

How to Test Foreign Material in Corn Using the 9000AG Grain Grading Scale

 Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating the quality of a corn sample. The Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale simplifies the process by storing the original sample weight and automatically calculating the percentage of foreign material after separation. In the video below, Sean from Seedburo walks through the complete process for testing foreign material in corn. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment: Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale Two triangular sample pans  12/64 round-hole sieve  E bottom catch pan A representative corn sample of approximately 250 grams Step 1: Assemble the Sieve and Catch Pan Place the 12/64 round-hole sieve inside the E bottom catch pan. The sieve allows smaller foreign material to pass through while retaining the corn kernels above it. Step 2: Zero the Sample Pan Place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Press the Zero button to tare the scale. This removes the weight of the pan so the scale measures only the sample and separated foreign material. Keep this same pan available for the final measurement. Step 3: Weigh and Store the Corn Sample Place the corn sample in the second triangular pan and set it on the scale. Corn samples used for this process are typically around 250 grams. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the final foreign material percentage. Step 4: Transfer the Sample to the Sieve Pour the corn sample onto the 12/64 sieve. Return the tared triangular sample pan to the scale so it is ready for the separated foreign material. Step 5: Shake the Sieve Set Shake the sieve set for 30 individual strokes. One complete back-and-forth motion counts as two strokes. This means the sieve should be moved through 15 complete back-and-forth motions to equal 30 individual strokes. As the sieve is shaken, smaller foreign material passes through the sieve and collects in the bottom catch pan. Step 6: Weigh the Foreign Material Remove the top sieve from the catch pan. Transfer the foreign material collected in the bottom pan into the triangular sample pan that was previously tared on the scale. The display will initially show the weight in grams. Step 7: Display the Percentage Press the Percentage button on the 9000AG. The scale will compare the foreign material weight with the stored original sample weight and display the foreign material percentage. In the video demonstration, the corn sample measured 0.22% foreign material, indicating a relatively clean sample. Make Corn Testing More Efficient The 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale helps streamline grain grading by storing sample weights and calculating percentage results directly on the scale. It can be used as part of a repeatable process for evaluating corn and other grain samples.

Sasso Mill for Corn Toxin Testing: Sample Preparation and 20-Mesh Demonstration

Accurate toxin testing starts with properly prepared grain samples. If a sample is not ground consistently, it can affect the material used for analysis and make it more difficult to obtain a representative test sample. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the Sasso Mill using corn and shows how the mill can be adjusted to produce a finely ground sample suitable for toxin-testing preparation. The demonstration focuses on achieving approximately 95% of the corn sample through a 20-mesh screen, while also showing how the Sasso Mill’s feed system, grinding plates, and built-in subsampling capabilities work. What Is the Sasso Mill Used For? The Sasso Mill is designed for grinding grain samples into a consistent particle size for laboratory and quality-control applications. For toxin-testing workflows, proper sample preparation is particularly important because the material being analyzed needs to accurately represent the larger grain sample. In this demonstration, the Sasso Mill is used to grind a corn sample before checking the finished material with a 20-mesh screen. How Does the Sasso Mill Prepare Corn for Toxin Testing? The Sasso Mill moves grain from its holding hopper through adjustable grinding plates that reduce the sample to a fine particle size. During the demonstration, Sean: Adds the corn sample to the mill's holding hopper. Starts the mill before feeding material into the grinding chamber. Adjusts the slide feeder to control how quickly corn enters the mill. Allows the sample to pass through the grinding plates. Collects a subsample for toxin-testing preparation. Checks the finished grind using a 20-mesh screen. After screening the processed corn, very little material remains above the 20-mesh screen, demonstrating the fine grind produced by the mill. What Does “95% Through a 20-Mesh Screen” Mean? When a grain sample is evaluated using a 20-mesh screen, the objective demonstrated in this video is for approximately 95% of the processed corn sample to pass through the screen. A 20-mesh screen provides a practical way to evaluate whether the grain has been ground finely enough for the intended toxin-testing sample preparation. In the video, Sean pours the finished corn sample onto the screen and shows that very little material remains above the mesh. Sasso Mill Features Shown in the Video 10-Pound Holding Hopper The Sasso Mill shown in the demonstration includes a 10-pound holding hopper, providing capacity for larger grain samples before they enter the grinding chamber. Adjustable Feed Slide The feed slide controls the rate at which grain moves from the hopper into the grinding discs. For the corn and soybean applications discussed in the video, Sean recommends keeping the feed opening at 50% or less while processing the sample. Integrated Subsampling One of the key features demonstrated is the mill's subsampling system. Different subsampler configurations can be used to divert approximately: 10% of the sample 25% of the sample 50% of the sample 75% of the sample The demonstration uses approximately a 10% subsampler, allowing a smaller portion of the processed material to be collected separately. This can be particularly useful when preparing a manageable testing sample from a larger quantity of grain. Adjustable Grinding Plates The Sasso Mill allows the grinding plates to be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size. Sean explains that the plates can initially be brought together and then backed off before gradually adjusting them while testing the resulting grind. This allows the operator to dial in the mill until the desired amount of sample passes through the 20-mesh screen. Multiple Sample Collection Options The demonstration shows the subsample being collected in a sample bag while the primary discharge is directed into a bucket. A discharge sock can also be attached to the primary outlet depending on the preferred collection setup. How Do You Adjust the Sasso Mill for a 20-Mesh Sample? The grind should be adjusted gradually rather than assuming one plate setting will work for every sample. As demonstrated in the video, the basic process is: Start with the grinding plates adjusted, process a sample, screen the finished material, and then make incremental plate adjustments until the desired grind is achieved. Because grain conditions and sample characteristics can vary, verifying the finished product with the appropriate screen provides a practical way to confirm the mill setup. Why Is Subsampling Important in Grain Toxin Testing? A toxin-testing result depends heavily on the sample being tested. Grinding and subsampling help transform a larger grain sample into a smaller quantity that can be used for analysis while maintaining as much consistency as possible throughout the preparation process. The Sasso Mill combines grinding and selectable subsampling capabilities into one system, allowing operators to prepare a fine sample while separating a predetermined portion for further testing. Frequently Asked Questions About the Sasso Mill Can the Sasso Mill grind corn for toxin testing? Yes. In the demonstration above, the Sasso Mill is used to grind corn into a fine sample that is then evaluated using a 20-mesh screen. What screen size is demonstrated with the Sasso Mill? Sean uses a 20-mesh screen to evaluate the finished corn sample. How much of the sample should pass through a 20-mesh screen? The target discussed in the video is approximately 95% of the corn sample passing through a 20-mesh screen for the toxin-testing application being demonstrated. Does the Sasso Mill have a subsampler? Yes. The mill shown in the video can be configured with approximately 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% subsampling options. What size motor does the Sasso Mill use? The unit demonstrated in the video has a 1.5-horsepower, 110-volt, 60-hertz motor. Does the Sasso Mill include a vacuum? The stand provides a location where a vacuum can be used, but Sean notes that a vacuum is not included with the mill and would need to be supplied separately. Can the grinding plates be adjusted? Yes. The plate spacing can be adjusted to change the finished particle size. Operators can process and screen samples while gradually adjusting the plates until the desired grind is achieved. Prepare Consistent Grain Samples With the Sasso Mill For laboratories, grain inspection operations, elevators, processors, and other facilities performing grain quality or toxin testing, consistent sample preparation is an important part of the testing process. The Sasso Mill provides adjustable grinding, controlled feeding, and integrated subsampling in one system to help operators prepare finely ground grain samples for further analysis.  VIEW THE SASSO MILL → Need help determining the right mill, subsampler configuration, or sample-preparation equipment for your operation?

Sasso Mill for Corn Toxin Testing: Sample Preparation and 20-Mesh Demonstration

Accurate toxin testing starts with properly prepared grain samples. If a sample is not ground consistently, it can affect the material used for analysis and make it more difficult to obtain a representative test sample. In the video above, Sean from Seedburo Equipment Company demonstrates the Sasso Mill using corn and shows how the mill can be adjusted to produce a finely ground sample suitable for toxin-testing preparation. The demonstration focuses on achieving approximately 95% of the corn sample through a 20-mesh screen, while also showing how the Sasso Mill’s feed system, grinding plates, and built-in subsampling capabilities work. What Is the Sasso Mill Used For? The Sasso Mill is designed for grinding grain samples into a consistent particle size for laboratory and quality-control applications. For toxin-testing workflows, proper sample preparation is particularly important because the material being analyzed needs to accurately represent the larger grain sample. In this demonstration, the Sasso Mill is used to grind a corn sample before checking the finished material with a 20-mesh screen. How Does the Sasso Mill Prepare Corn for Toxin Testing? The Sasso Mill moves grain from its holding hopper through adjustable grinding plates that reduce the sample to a fine particle size. During the demonstration, Sean: Adds the corn sample to the mill's holding hopper. Starts the mill before feeding material into the grinding chamber. Adjusts the slide feeder to control how quickly corn enters the mill. Allows the sample to pass through the grinding plates. Collects a subsample for toxin-testing preparation. Checks the finished grind using a 20-mesh screen. After screening the processed corn, very little material remains above the 20-mesh screen, demonstrating the fine grind produced by the mill. What Does “95% Through a 20-Mesh Screen” Mean? When a grain sample is evaluated using a 20-mesh screen, the objective demonstrated in this video is for approximately 95% of the processed corn sample to pass through the screen. A 20-mesh screen provides a practical way to evaluate whether the grain has been ground finely enough for the intended toxin-testing sample preparation. In the video, Sean pours the finished corn sample onto the screen and shows that very little material remains above the mesh. Sasso Mill Features Shown in the Video 10-Pound Holding Hopper The Sasso Mill shown in the demonstration includes a 10-pound holding hopper, providing capacity for larger grain samples before they enter the grinding chamber. Adjustable Feed Slide The feed slide controls the rate at which grain moves from the hopper into the grinding discs. For the corn and soybean applications discussed in the video, Sean recommends keeping the feed opening at 50% or less while processing the sample. Integrated Subsampling One of the key features demonstrated is the mill's subsampling system. Different subsampler configurations can be used to divert approximately: 10% of the sample 25% of the sample 50% of the sample 75% of the sample The demonstration uses approximately a 10% subsampler, allowing a smaller portion of the processed material to be collected separately. This can be particularly useful when preparing a manageable testing sample from a larger quantity of grain. Adjustable Grinding Plates The Sasso Mill allows the grinding plates to be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size. Sean explains that the plates can initially be brought together and then backed off before gradually adjusting them while testing the resulting grind. This allows the operator to dial in the mill until the desired amount of sample passes through the 20-mesh screen. Multiple Sample Collection Options The demonstration shows the subsample being collected in a sample bag while the primary discharge is directed into a bucket. A discharge sock can also be attached to the primary outlet depending on the preferred collection setup. How Do You Adjust the Sasso Mill for a 20-Mesh Sample? The grind should be adjusted gradually rather than assuming one plate setting will work for every sample. As demonstrated in the video, the basic process is: Start with the grinding plates adjusted, process a sample, screen the finished material, and then make incremental plate adjustments until the desired grind is achieved. Because grain conditions and sample characteristics can vary, verifying the finished product with the appropriate screen provides a practical way to confirm the mill setup. Why Is Subsampling Important in Grain Toxin Testing? A toxin-testing result depends heavily on the sample being tested. Grinding and subsampling help transform a larger grain sample into a smaller quantity that can be used for analysis while maintaining as much consistency as possible throughout the preparation process. The Sasso Mill combines grinding and selectable subsampling capabilities into one system, allowing operators to prepare a fine sample while separating a predetermined portion for further testing. Frequently Asked Questions About the Sasso Mill Can the Sasso Mill grind corn for toxin testing? Yes. In the demonstration above, the Sasso Mill is used to grind corn into a fine sample that is then evaluated using a 20-mesh screen. What screen size is demonstrated with the Sasso Mill? Sean uses a 20-mesh screen to evaluate the finished corn sample. How much of the sample should pass through a 20-mesh screen? The target discussed in the video is approximately 95% of the corn sample passing through a 20-mesh screen for the toxin-testing application being demonstrated. Does the Sasso Mill have a subsampler? Yes. The mill shown in the video can be configured with approximately 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% subsampling options. What size motor does the Sasso Mill use? The unit demonstrated in the video has a 1.5-horsepower, 110-volt, 60-hertz motor. Does the Sasso Mill include a vacuum? The stand provides a location where a vacuum can be used, but Sean notes that a vacuum is not included with the mill and would need to be supplied separately. Can the grinding plates be adjusted? Yes. The plate spacing can be adjusted to change the finished particle size. Operators can process and screen samples while gradually adjusting the plates until the desired grind is achieved. Prepare Consistent Grain Samples With the Sasso Mill For laboratories, grain inspection operations, elevators, processors, and other facilities performing grain quality or toxin testing, consistent sample preparation is an important part of the testing process. The Sasso Mill provides adjustable grinding, controlled feeding, and integrated subsampling in one system to help operators prepare finely ground grain samples for further analysis.  VIEW THE SASSO MILL → Need help determining the right mill, subsampler configuration, or sample-preparation equipment for your operation?

How to Test Foreign Material in Corn Using the 9000AG Grain Grading Scale

 Foreign material testing is an important part of evaluating the quality of a corn sample. The Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale simplifies the process by storing the original sample weight and automatically calculating the percentage of foreign material after separation. In the video below, Sean from Seedburo walks through the complete process for testing foreign material in corn. Equipment Needed Before beginning the test, gather the following equipment: Seedburo 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale Two triangular sample pans  12/64 round-hole sieve  E bottom catch pan A representative corn sample of approximately 250 grams Step 1: Assemble the Sieve and Catch Pan Place the 12/64 round-hole sieve inside the E bottom catch pan. The sieve allows smaller foreign material to pass through while retaining the corn kernels above it. Step 2: Zero the Sample Pan Place one triangular sample pan on the 9000AG scale. Press the Zero button to tare the scale. This removes the weight of the pan so the scale measures only the sample and separated foreign material. Keep this same pan available for the final measurement. Step 3: Weigh and Store the Corn Sample Place the corn sample in the second triangular pan and set it on the scale. Corn samples used for this process are typically around 250 grams. Press the Memory button to store the original sample weight. The 9000AG will use this stored weight to calculate the final foreign material percentage. Step 4: Transfer the Sample to the Sieve Pour the corn sample onto the 12/64 sieve. Return the tared triangular sample pan to the scale so it is ready for the separated foreign material. Step 5: Shake the Sieve Set Shake the sieve set for 30 individual strokes. One complete back-and-forth motion counts as two strokes. This means the sieve should be moved through 15 complete back-and-forth motions to equal 30 individual strokes. As the sieve is shaken, smaller foreign material passes through the sieve and collects in the bottom catch pan. Step 6: Weigh the Foreign Material Remove the top sieve from the catch pan. Transfer the foreign material collected in the bottom pan into the triangular sample pan that was previously tared on the scale. The display will initially show the weight in grams. Step 7: Display the Percentage Press the Percentage button on the 9000AG. The scale will compare the foreign material weight with the stored original sample weight and display the foreign material percentage. In the video demonstration, the corn sample measured 0.22% foreign material, indicating a relatively clean sample. Make Corn Testing More Efficient The 9000AG Computer Grain Grading Scale helps streamline grain grading by storing sample weights and calculating percentage results directly on the scale. It can be used as part of a repeatable process for evaluating corn and other grain samples.
