Dry Goods, Grains and Cereals Industry

High-precision weighing and testing technology

Dried grains, pulses, and cereals—such as rice, wheat, corn, lentils, and oats—form the foundation of global food systems. These products move through high-volume, high-speed supply chains, where even small deviations in weight or safety standards can cause large-scale losses. Metal contamination, moisture variation, and improper packaging remain persistent risks across both domestic and export operations.

As food security, regulatory compliance, and cost control become increasingly intertwined, producers are under pressure to achieve consistent inspection standards at scale. Ensuring accuracy in every bag, batch, and shipment is not a luxury—it’s the baseline for operational stability and international competitiveness.

Industry Challenges

  • Foreign Metal Contamination from Agricultural Equipment

    During harvesting, drying, and conveying, metallic impurities such as screws, blades, and iron filings are easily introduced, especially in raw bulk grains—posing serious food safety and export rejection risks.


  • Weight Variations Caused by Moisture Fluctuations

    Ambient humidity and post-harvest drying inconsistencies can alter product density, making precise weight control difficult, especially for automated high-speed filling lines.

  • High-Speed Bagging with Irregular Packaging

    Grain and pulse packaging varies widely—from woven sacks to vacuum pouches—leading to unstable positioning and poor label adhesion, often resulting in misapplied or unreadable labels.

  • Lack of Batch-Level Traceability in Bulk Processing

    In many grain facilities, inspection results, weights, and rejection logs are not linked to specific lots—making recall, audit, and export documentation difficult or unreliable.

  • Sensitivity to Cross-Contamination in Shared Lines

    Facilities often switch between grains (e.g., wheat → soybeans) on the same line. Without automated inspection and cleaning verification, allergens or unwanted materials may remain—violating compliance standards.

Application Scenarios

In the dried goods and grains industry, ensuring product safety and accurate weight measurement is critical. Samegram offers an advanced checkweighing system for unpacked foods designed to handle bulk products like rice, beans, lentils, and cereals with high precision. Coupled with our metal detector machines and free fall metal detectors, this integrated solution effectively identifies and removes metallic contaminants during processing and packaging. The system guarantees consistent weight control, reduces product giveaway, and supports full traceability. This comprehensive inspection setup helps producers meet stringent food safety regulations while maintaining high throughput on large-scale production lines.

Dry Goods, Grains and Cereals Industry Success Stories

SameGram offers an all-in-one system designed specifically for the Dry Goods, Grains and Cereals industry

Bulk Grain Bag Precision Saves Costs

“When we upgraded our 50 kg quinoa and rice bags, Samegram’s food-grade bulk checkweigher ensured each sack met ±0.1% weight tolerance.

 We cut overfill by 60%, saving over $100,000 annually. Our procurement team now plans inventory with full confidence.”

Carlos Méndez

Production Manager, Chile

Large-Scale Flour Bags – Reducing Overfill

“When we shifted to 25 kg wheat flour bags, Samegram installed a food-grade bulk checkweigher precise to ±0.05%, ensuring every sack met strict weight specs.

 We cut overfill waste by 55%, saving over $120,000 annually and gaining precise inventory control.”

Li Wei

Plant Manager, China

Cereal Bar Packs – Guaranteeing Piece Count

“Our crunchy multi-grain bars are sold in multi-packs, where missing bars cost us in refunds and reputation. Samegram’s checkweigher for packaged food verifies total pack weight and identifies any missing items. 

Since deployment, customer complaints have dropped by 90%, and repack labor is down by 50%.”
