Features and Benefits
Accuracy
The Inframatic 9500 combines modern electronics with precision optical components to deliver high-quality spectral data. Stable scanning-grating optics and advanced chemometric models work together to provide reliable measurement of key grain parameters, supporting confident grading and quality decisions.
Reliability
The Inframatic 9500 is engineered for demanding grain handling environments. Its robust construction and sealed module design help protect critical components while standardized architecture simplifies servicing and supports long-term operational stability.
Rapid Analysis
Short analysis times and straightforward sample handling enable fast measurement of whole grain samples. This allows operators to quickly assess grain quality and maintain efficient workflows at intake points, elevators, and processing facilities.
NIR Networking
Centralized networking capabilities allow laboratories and grain operations to manage calibrations and monitor instrument performance across multiple locations. Ethernet connectivity enables remote access and streamlined administration, supporting consistent operation across instrument fleets.
Calibration Transferability
The optical housing is machined from a solid metal block to maintain precise alignment and instrument consistency. Combined with wavelength calibration using NIST traceable standards, this design supports strong calibration transferability between instruments and across networks.
Ease of Use
A large color touch screen and intuitive interface simplify routine analysis. Operators simply select the grain type and load the sample into the funnel, allowing rapid measurement without complex setup or parameter adjustments.
Official Approvals
The IM 9500 has received regulatory approvals for use in commercial grain trading in multiple countries. These approvals reflect compliance with national measurement standards and support the use of IM 9500 data in official grain grading and trading applications.
Recognized approvals include:
These approvals help ensure that IM 9500 measurements can be confidently used within regulated grain markets.
Networking
The IM 9500 is designed to operate within instrument networks used by grain organizations, laboratories, and national grading systems. Many installations worldwide operate multiple instruments connected through centralized management.
NetPlus Remote enables network administration and remote instrument management across single facilities or large instrument fleets. Calibration distribution, performance monitoring, and configuration management can all be handled centrally.
For users who need broader visibility into results, NetPlus Reports provides web-based access to analysis data, allowing authorized users to review results and monitor performance from virtually any location.
Together, these tools help maintain consistent operation and simplify management across distributed instrument networks.
Operation and Handling
The IM 9500 is engineered for use at grain receival points and laboratory environments where instruments must handle frequent use and demanding conditions. Its design emphasizes durability, straightforward operation, and efficient workflows.
Simple three-step operation
Analysis is completed in less than 30 seconds, allowing rapid grain grading and high throughput during busy intake periods.
The adjustable display can be positioned for operator comfort, moving up or down, forward or back, and tilting for optimal visibility in different work environments.
Flour Analysis Capability
With the optional Flour Module, the IM 9500 can also analyze flour samples for parameters such as moisture, protein, and ash.
This expands the instrument’s role beyond grain intake, allowing flour millers to use the same platform for both incoming wheat grading and process monitoring within the mill.
The module includes two sample cells and a loading station. The operator fills a cell, closes it, and inserts it into the instrument funnel. Results are displayed within seconds, enabling rapid and convenient flour analysis.

IN THE SAME CATEGORY
Inframatic 8800 is the next generation portable NIR instrument for protein, moisture and oil determination in grain and oilseed. The instrument has been designed with portability in mind to give users freedom to measure grain in-field, at grain storage sites and at grain processing locations, to make informed binning decisions.
Determine moisture and hectoliter weight/test weight in all grains and oilseeds in only 10 seconds, enabling process standardization and profit optimization.
Second Generation 149 MHz Technology - Determine moisture and Hectoliter Weight/Test Weight in all grains and oilseeds in only 10 seconds. Approved for official trade use in many countries across the world.
Just about everyone who tests grain needs to divide a larger amount of grain into a smaller, but still representative sample. The SPD 4200 does this faster, easier and better than ever before.
