Instant, Non-Destructive Moisture Testing for Flour and Grain
Flour moisture drives quality, shelf life, and how a product behaves through processing, but confirming it usually means a slow trip to the drying oven. This portable tester reads flour and grain moisture on the spot in seconds, with no grinding and no sample loss, so the result is ready the moment you need it.
Flour and grain in one instrument: Factory calibrations cover rice flour, wheat flour, whole wheat, milled rice, and paddy rice, so the powder and the grain it comes from are measured on one device.
Instant, non-destructive reading: Fill the sample tray, twist the handle, and read the moisture value. No grinding, no drying, no waiting.
Built for any environment: Pocket sized, battery powered, and backlit for use on the mill floor, at receiving, in the field, or in low light.
Consistent shift to shift: Automatic temperature compensation corrects for both sample and instrument temperature, holding readings steady across operators and conditions.
The PB3000 is obsolete and has been replaced by our PB3100 series. Please see the PB3100.
The PB-3000 is a rice and grain moisture tester initially intended to measure the moisture content of rice imported to Japan. The base unit has been modeled after the PB-1D2 rice and grain moisture tester which is used by many companies and is highly valued for its precision and durability.
In response to rice importation from various countries around the world, calibrations within this instrument will measure short, medium, and long grain rice. In addition, domestic (Japanese) brown and polished rice moisture can also be measured. Finally, calibrations are included for pasta, tapioca flour and corn flour.

Pasta Moisture Tester: Built-In Crusher, Instant Readings, and Six Wheat-Based Settings
Measure moisture in wheat, flour, noodles, and pasta in seconds, without a separate grinder or oven. An integrated crusher prepares the sample and the unit returns a reading in about three seconds, so production and quality staff can act on the result on the spot. Battery or AC power makes it equally suited to the line or the bench.
Integrated crusher: Crush and measure in one benchtop unit, with no separate grinder to maintain.
Six wheat-based settings: Dedicated calibrations for wheat, two flour types, noodle, pasta, and corn flour.
Instant results: Moisture readings in about three seconds, with automatic sample-temperature compensation.
Line or bench: Runs on AC or four D batteries for roughly 23 hours of continuous use.
