Kett AN820 instant rice composition meter

Rice Quality Measurement Instruments

Instant moisture, composition, and quality measurement for rice at every stage from paddy to plate. Handheld, desktop, and online instruments recognized as the worldwide standard for rice assessment.

Key Benefits

Why manufacturers and laboratories choose Kett rice quality measurement instruments.

Instant Measurements

Instant Measurement

Get moisture, protein, amylose, and quality results in as little as 5 seconds with no sample alteration, reagents, or lab turnaround required.

Non-contact, Non-Destructive

Worldwide Standard for Rice Assessment

Kett instruments are recognized globally as the benchmark for rice quality measurement, with calibrations built to JIS and USDA rice moisture criteria.

Multiple Components

Complete Rice Lab in One System

Instruments can be integrated to cover the full quality workflow, from harvest moisture testing through composition analysis, grading, and yield management.

Single Kernel Measurement

The PQ520 measures individual kernel moisture to evaluate quality and homogeneity within a sample, giving processors a detailed view of moisture distribution across a batch.

Liquids and Solids

Automatic Grading

Automatically scan, digitize, and categorize individual rice kernels by preset criteria, eliminating variation between manual graders and standardizing quality specifications.

Coatweight and Film Thiickness

No Reagents Required

Simpler and less expensive than Karl Fischer testing. Fast, automatic tests with no consumables, no sample prep, and no disposal requirements.

How it Works

Kett has long been recognized as the leader in Rice measurement. We offer many types of measurement instruments that guide the rice from paddy to plate. These instruments include rice moisture analyzers including the Riceter, the world’s largest selling moisture analyzer for portable use as well as single kernel grain moisture analyzers, allowing the processor to categorize the distribution of moisture within his process.

We also offer rice quality measurement instruments to determine the percentage of broken, crushed, immature and other substandard rice grains. In addition, we manufacture rice composition analyzers to instantly provide moisture measurement, amylose measurement, and protein measurement within a sample. Tests are fast, accurate, and automatic.

What You Can Measure

Sample Industries and Applications
