HAWK Fumigation Monitor Grain Bunker Trial

Fumigation Gas Detection, UncategorizedBy Control Equipment 06/15/2026

Real-Time Fumigation Monitoring in Grain Storage – Improving fumigation visibility while minimising site visits in large-scale and remote grain bunkers.
Fumigation monitoring in grain bunkers or silo’s often relies on periodic manual sampling, providing snapshots of gas concentrations throughout the treatment period. This can make it difficult to identify concentration variations within the grain mass and verify that target fumigation levels are being maintained.
