SarTime is a patented, automatic, computerized system that measures conductivity (residence time), steam chest temperature, peg feeder RPM, and flaker motor amp draw. Custom reports, event alerts, and real time and historical data is accessible from all mobile and desktop devices.
Why SarTime?
Safe - Employees no longer need to do manual dye tests.
Quick - Perform a measurement with the push of a button.
Reliable - Computer PLC based system automatically senses when it can proceed.
Easy to use - SarTime Features a touch screen
Flexible - SarTime has control of flaking costs, Flake bushel weight, starch gelatinization and moisture inputs
Helps you by sending event alerts via email/text
Control Flaking Costs
The longer the grain spends in the chest, the higher the cost. Principally, the flaker motor electrical and boiler fuel costs contribute to the overall flaking cost. By reducing the residence time to an optimal level, one can reduce the cost of flaking significantly. The grain needs to be at the correct temperature before it enters the rolls for flaking. However, if an abundance of steam is used, there is typically quite a bit of cost savings to achieve without affecting flake characteristics. The first step is to know what the residence time is for each flaker and to measure this every day.
For a 25,000 head yard with one flaker, a reduction in residence time from 60 to 45 minutes can save tens of thousands of dollars per year.
“Our lab is getting old. He was unable to jump into the back of the car when we were traveling. After giving him SarStart for Dogs, he jumps into the back of the car without any trouble. SarStart for Dogs has changed his life.”

“My two young hunting dogs were lost for 8 days when they went to play in a nearby corn field. It was a hot, humid summer and when I finally found them, they were in terrible condition… full of parasites and ticks, and severely dehydrated. After several trips to the veterinarian, being wormed twice and dipped, they still had loose bowels, a bad hair coat and no appetite. I began to give them SarStart for Dogs and within a few days I could see an improvement. Within three weeks, my dogs had normal stools, a shiny hair coat and better appetites. They looked like they were in better condition then before I lost them! I’ve fed them SarStart for Dogs ever since”

“Stanley, my Staffordshire Bull Terrier is 8 years old and suffers from canine lupus. He has always taken a long time to heal and bleeds from the mouth and eyes very easily. He has a gentle disposition and is very loving, but lately had been acting more and more tired and… old. Instead of running out to play with the kids or work with the horses, he was spending more time taking naps and would get up very slowly, almost as though he were in pain. Within a few weeks of feeding him SarStart for Dogs every day, he is running around like a puppy again. He doesn’t act old and tired and his eye and mouth have cleared up and look more normal. Thank you for giving me back my dog!”
