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.
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.
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.
