PM4044 Instant Grain and Hazelnut Moisture Meter

Instant Moisture for Grains, Oilseeds, and Hazelnuts

The PM4044 measures moisture across a 240 mL sample and returns an instant, non-destructive reading. Its calibration set spans the major grains and oilseeds and adds a dedicated hazelnut calibration, and it compensates automatically for the actual density and temperature of each sample.

Built for Mixed Grain, Oilseed, and Nut Operations

• Hazelnut alongside the staples: a dedicated hazelnut calibration sits beside wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, sorghum, and rice in one meter.
• Oilseeds covered: calibrations for canola and sunflower for operations handling oilseed crops.
• Automatic density and temperature compensation: the integrated balance reads each sample’s actual density and a sensor corrects for temperature.
• Tune and average: a per-grain bias adjustment and averaging of up to nine readings keep results steady across a lot.

Portable and Battery-Powered

At roughly one kilogram and powered by four AA batteries, the PM4044 moves from the receiving line to the orchard floor without sample preparation. Pour the sample, read the moisture, and move on.

Service and Replacement

The PM4044 is no longer manufactured. The upgraded instrument is our PM450 Instant Grain and Seed Moisture Meter, which expands coverage to 39 factory calibrations spanning grains, oilseeds, nuts, and seeds. Kett continues to provide parts, service, and support for PM4044 units already in the field.
