In Partnership With
Founded in 1914, the business first produced threshing machines in Arentorp, Sweden. In the 1960s development of the first chain and flight conveyors began and in 1975 the company specialised in grain handling. Now a third-generation family business, Skandia Elevator has evolved into one of Europe’s leading and most technologically advanced manufacturers of grain handling equipment hardware and grain system management software.
The Grain Balance is part of Skandia Elevator's Grain Cloud ecosystem, the Grain Cloud provides complete control and visibility of your grain drying and storage system. The Grain Balance quickly and accurately weighs grain heading into storage and records this via the Grain Cloud app. Allowing all crops, yeilds and fields to be monitored, this allows a forward thinking approach to improve profits on farm. All previous years data can be monitored and tracked to see how yeilds change year upon year.
The equipment can be retrofitted to any Skandia elevator with a gearbox motor drive and requires 4G data coverage to transmit and recieve data from the cloud. The function and position of the Grain Balance needs to be discussed with a McArthur BDC product specialist to deliver the very best results.
