Grain Moisture meter

PM450 Instant Grain and Seed Moisture Meter

Instant Grain and Seed Moisture Meter — Portable, Non-Destructive, Battery-Powered The PM450 delivers instant, non-destructive moisture measurement for grains, seeds, coffee, nuts, and other small products. With 39 factory calibrations — including 7 dedicated coffee calibrations referenced to ISO 6673 — simply pour your sample and read the result. No grinding, no sample prep, no wait.
  • 39 Pre-Loaded Calibrations: Covers wheat, corn, barley, soybeans, coffee (green, roast, parchment, dry cherry), nuts, seeds, and more — ready to use out of the box.
  • No Sample Preparation Required: Measures whole samples directly, eliminating the grinding and husking that competitive instruments require.
  • True Portability with Built-In Compensation: Battery-powered (4 AA), under 3 lbs. A fixed 240 mL sample cup and integrated load cell automatically determine density, while a thermistor in the sample cell reads actual grain temperature — both compensations happen instantly during the pour, with no operator adjustments.

FV201 Handheld Grain Moisture Tester

Handheld Grain Moisture Tester — Six Calibrations, Three-Second Cycle, Pocket-Sized Built for the small-grain receiving workflow, the Riceter handheld grain moisture tester delivers a moisture reading in about three seconds with factory calibrations for brown rice, milled rice, paddy, barley, naked barley, and wheat. The pocket-sized form factor and battery power make it the right tool wherever moisture readings are needed in the field, on the receiving floor, or at the bench.
  • Six factory calibrations: Brown rice, milled rice, paddy, barley, naked barley, and wheat — covering the small-grain receiving and processing workflow.
  • Three-second measurement cycle: Twist-and-read operation with automatic dual temperature compensation for fast, repeatable results.
  • Pocket-sized and battery-powered: Goes wherever the grain is — field, truck, rail car, receiving floor, or bench.
  • Pasta as an additional application: Some pasta processors and users choose this handheld instead of a dedicated desktop tester. Some accuracy trade-off applies vs. a dedicated pasta unit.

PQ520 Single Kernel Grain & Rice Moisture Meter

Desktop single-kernel testing for moisture distribution. Measure kernels one at a time and see how the moisture is spread across your sample. Average moisture hides the variation that matters. The PQ520 measures each kernel individually and builds a distribution histogram, giving rice mills, grain processors, and harvest operations the information they need to time harvest, dial in drying, and verify lot consistency. Pour a sample, press start, and the average moisture and full distribution display on screen.
  • Per-kernel measurement: Each kernel is tested individually, then results combine into an average plus a full moisture distribution histogram.
  • Sustained throughput: Process 10 to 1,000 kernels per sample at roughly 150 kernels per minute, built for repeated measurement campaigns rather than one-off field checks.
  • Rice industry focus, extended: Calibrations cover long and short grain milled, brown, and paddy rice, jasmine, parboiled, sticky rice varieties, plus wheat and barley.
  • Data ready: RS-232C output for the optional thermal printer; USB output with optional PDL-01 data logger software for direct PC capture.

PT2700 Inline Grain Moisture Monitor

Dryer-Mounted Inline Moisture Monitoring — Continuous Single-Point Measurement Mount it on a dryer or unloading station and measure grain moisture continuously as it flows. The PT2700 reads moisture in real time and can control the dryer automatically, stopping the drying cycle when grain reaches your target moisture. No computer required.
  • Continuous inline measurement: Reads moisture repeatedly during drying, with results on a clear on-unit display.
  • Automatic dryer control: Stops the dryer at your moisture setpoint, then manages cool-down before shutoff.
  • Three grain configurations: Choose the type matched to your crop, from paddy-only to multi-grain rice, wheat, and barley.
  • Built for the dryer environment: Single-kernel electrical resistance sensing with no sample handling and no consumables.

Riceter F501 – Handheld Portable Moisture Meter – Rice, Wheat and Grains

Our F501 and Fg501 have been updated to our FV201. The largest selling moisture meter in the world, the Riceter sets the standard for handheld grain testers. This compact, battery-powered moisture tester can be carried on your belt, allowing you to have accurate measurements right in the rice paddy or anywhere you need to measure grain moisture. To operate, place several grains of rice, wheat, barley or oats in the sample holder. Insert the holder and twist the integrated grinder. The sample is measured using the capacitance circuit and the moisture percentage is displayed on the bright red LED. Moisture testing takes less than five seconds, allowing for rapid analysis of many samples. Up to nine consecutive measurements can be displayed and averaged.

PQ510 Single Kernel Grain & Rice Moisture Meter

Legacy desktop single-kernel grain and rice moisture meter. Replaced by the PQ520. The PQ510 was the second-generation desktop single-kernel moisture meter from Kett, refining the PQ500 design with expanded rice and barley calibration coverage while keeping the same desktop chassis. Current production has moved to the PQ520, which introduced a new chassis design with faster throughput, USB output, universal voltage, and significantly expanded calibrations.
  • Refined single-kernel design: DC resistance measurement of each kernel, with average moisture, kernel count, and LED histogram display. Sample sizes selectable from 10 to 1,000 kernels.
  • Expanded calibrations vs. PQ500: Added polished rice and naked barley alongside the PQ500's paddy rice, brown rice, wheat, and barley calibrations.
  • Service and replacement support: Service and parts availability is limited for this legacy unit. Contact Kett for current options.
