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.
Handheld Rice Moisture Tester — Eight Calibrations, Long-Grain and Parboiled Coverage, Three-Second Cycle
Built for the long-grain rice and parboiled rice workflow, the Riceter handheld rice moisture tester delivers a reading in about three seconds with eight factory calibrations covering long-grain paddy, milled, and brown rice, short-grain paddy, milled, and brown rice, plus dedicated channels for long parboiled milled rice and mixed parboiled paddy. The pocket-sized form factor and battery power make it the right tool wherever rice moves through harvest, milling, processing, or shipment.
Eight factory calibrations: Long-grain paddy, milled, and brown rice; short-grain paddy, milled, and brown rice; long parboiled milled rice; and mixed parboiled paddy.
Dedicated parboiled rice channels: Two parboiled-specific calibrations the predecessor FG512 did not include, built for parboiled processors and import/export operations handling parboiled product.
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 rice is located: field, mill, dryer, receiving floor, or shipping dock.
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.
Grain and Seed Moisture with Density Readout and Data Output
Measure moisture and sample density in one instant, non-destructive reading. An integrated load cell determines the actual density of each sample, and an RS-232C port sends results to a printer or PC for documented records.
Density (g/l) readout: a second quality metric alongside moisture for trade and receiving.
Data output: RS-232C to a printer or PC for documented test records.
Up to 99 calibrations: grains, seeds, coffee, tea, nuts, and flours.
Automatic density and temperature compensation: readings stay consistent as sample density and temperature vary.
