Diaphanoscope DSZ-3
When assessing the quality of grain (wheat, barley), the glassiness index is necessarily taken into account, which indicates the nature of the grains - starchy or proteinaceous. If glassy grains predominate in a batch of wheat of the same size, this indicates high baking qualities; if starchy grains dominate, it is more reasonable to use such products in baking as an additive to varieties richer in proteins. To determine the glassiness of grains, a DSZ-3 photoelectric diaphanoscope is used, which allows very quickly and with high accuracy of results to analyze grain products based on certain optical properties. This control and measuring device is successfully used: at flour mills, grain receiving enterprises, including factory laboratories; at any enterprises and organizations in the agricultural sector where there is a need to assess the quality of grain based on glassiness; in testing centers, specialized research institutes and other research organizations; in the work of regulatory authorities. The action of the diaphanoscope DSZ-3 is based on the different ability of glassy/mealy grains to transmit light radiation through themselves. The device allows you to perform an analysis using the express method, controlling the grain flow in any conditions: in a clamp on a current and in a combine hopper, when loading into a freight car or receiving at a grain receiving point.
