Rice Analyzer VIBE QM3

The Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer measures, counts and classifies kernel size, shape and color. Analysis results are absolute, accurate and reproducible.

One of the key features of the Vibe QM3 is the speed and accuracy of results. 25g samples of rice kernels can be analyzed and reported upon in less than 30 seconds using a simple 3 step process.

The Vibe QM3 provides rice researchers, traders and processing companies an ‘expert’ inspection and analysis instrument that overcomes the limitations of subjectivity and speed that are evident in manual inspection methods. Furthermore, the superior resolution of the optical system in the QM3 provides higher levels of accuracy and reproducibility of results when compared with other instruments available in the market today.
