Grain Temperature Probes

The Martin Lishman range of grain temperature probes are a quick and easy solution to gain instant readings to enable store managers to make quick decisions on when and where to use crop ventilation fans and to keep records for crop assurance purposes. When used in conjunction with a Martin Lishman automatic fan controller, this can contribute to greater storage efficiency and significant energy cost savings.

Safe long-term storage requires regular monitoring and control of crop temperature. Ideally, temperatures should reach 5°C to reduce the viability of disease, insects and moulds. Measuring temperature shows if the cooling system is effective and gives early warning of problems such as hot spots – a rise in temperature can indicate insect activity.
