Detect Spoilage Before It Starts

Insects and molds are aerobic organisms that release carbon dioxide (CO₂) as they grow and spread within stored grain. Rising CO₂ levels inside a bin are a proven early warning of biological activity and spoilage, often detected long before temperature shifts or visible signs appear.

• Early Detection: Identify spoilage, mold, or insect activity before it spreads.
• Accurate Readings: Stable grain typically measures 400 – 600 ppm (ambient: 350 – 400 ppm); higher levels indicate deterioration.
• Continuous Monitoring: Tracks CO₂ changes in real time for actionable insight.
• Optimal Placement: Mount at the top of the bin to monitor the air released by the grain mass.
• Integrated Alerts: Seamlessly connects to PGA’s Bin Monitoring System and mobile app for instant notifications and trend tracking.

Why Monitor CO₂?

Every form of biological activity releases CO₂. Monitoring it gives you the earliest, most reliable indicator of spoilage so you can act fast and protect grain quality.
