FKRA Norway selects Intelscan for online moisture measurement

Intelscan technology helps optimize acid treatment for grain

Felleskjøpet Rogaland Agder [FKRA] is one of Norway´s leading supplier of animal feed. At its feed production plant in Stavanger, over 350.000 tons of feed are produced each year. 7.500 tons of grain are treated with acid to increase storeage time. 

Recently, FKRA decided to utilize Intelscan on-line moisture measurement to optimize its acid treatment for grain. The aim was to reduce the high cost of the acid by accurately measure the moisture content in the grain.

"We saved the cost of the Intelscan instrument in under 2 weeks. Previously we needed to add 6 litres per ton grain. Now, when we are able to trust the moisture measurement, we have been able to go down to a medium of 3 litres per ton," said Mr. Stig Fagerli, process engineer, FKRA Norway.
