Automatic grain processing apparatus and load monitoring and tracking system

An automatic grain processing apparatus (78) characterized by comprising in an integrated manner the following units:

• a cleaning unit (2) comprising at its upper end a reservoir (1) for depositing the grains;
• a pair of rotary sifters with different permeabilities (3), said sifters (3) being moved through a gearing system (4), wherein said gearing system (4) is connected by way of a pulley (6) to a main rotational shaft (13);
• a drying unit comprising a dryer (18), and said dryer comprises on the inside an air distribution means (20) connected by the piping (17) to a heat source (16);
• a grain conveyor means (23) connected at the upper end (21) of said dryer (18);
• one or more moisture measurement and classification means (37);
• a plurality of air permeable chutes (53) arranged inside said dryer (18);
• a grain conveyance means (19) coupled inside said dryer (18);
• and a reservoir (22) comprising a door (45) and an automatic opening system (44) at its lower end;
• a grain weighing and classification unit comprising a batch flow weighing scales (27) where a portion of the dry grains will be weighed, while another portion of the dry grains will be collected by way of probes (28), classified by the automatic classifier means (29) and returned to the weighing scales (27);
• wherein said weighing scales (27) has at its lower end a door (48) which is activated by the door opening and closing means (31);
• and
• a grain packaging and labelling unit comprising:
• a packaging means comprising forks (33) which position and support the packaging (34) inside the mold (55) for receiving the grain load;
• fork support (32), wherein said fork support (32) moves by rails (35) connected at the base (36) of said support (32);
• a packing securing and sealing means (46) positioned adjacently to the bagging means;
• an air withdrawal means (24) of the packaging (34);
• and
• a labeler (30), which applies a label (75) on the packaging (34).
