Description
The CEMIB rotating test bench, patented by INRAE, is a high-performance device for measuring the distribution of granular products (fertilisers). It enables quick, reliable, and cost-effective evaluation of spreading patterns. CEMIB scans the spread pattern, angular sector by angular sector, using around 90 sensors recorded at 10 Hz by a synchronous system. It provides precise, disturbance-free measurements of fertiliser distribution in grams/m² and reliable data on projection range and angles. The setup includes a rotating carrier for the spreader and a "sensitive" part with 50x50 cm trays and highly accurate weight sensors (0.02 grams), ensuring continuous, accurate assessments.
What could be offered through this facility?
CEMIB offers comprehensive support for evaluating and developing centrifugal spreaders and spreading products. It provides a direct measurement of spreader performance and spreading product characteristics. CEMIB enables the development of new spreading technologies, including assessing optimised spreading components and the capability of products for wide-area spreading. It helps reduce environmental impacts and supports the integration and development of spreading models, including simulators and innovation accelerators.
Additionally, CEMIB offers the creation of adjustment tables and quality monitoring of product performance, making it an ideal environment for advancing technology and ensuring practical, environmentally responsible applications.
