Inline Single-Kernel Moisture Monitoring — Rice, Paddy, and Wheat
Measure grain moisture continuously as it moves through your facility. The RX20 installs directly in the grain flow and reads single kernels in real time, giving millers and elevators live moisture data without pulling samples. A touch-panel controller, multi-sensor support, and data logging turn moisture readings into process control.
Continuous inline measurement: Reads moisture kernel by kernel at approximately 60 pieces per minute, right in the grain stream.
Up to ten sensors, one system: Monitor multiple points across intake, drying, and distribution from a single controller and PC.
Threshold alarms and reporting: Set moisture limits with siren alerts, and log results with histograms and standard deviation for homogeneity tracking.
Optional cloud access: View live data remotely and compare results over time, with five years of data updates included.
Inline Single-Kernel Moisture Monitoring — Corn, Soybean, and Grain
Measure moisture continuously as grain moves through your facility. The RX30 installs directly in the grain flow and reads single kernels in real time, covering large grains like corn and soybean alongside barley, wheat, and rice. A touch-panel controller, multi-sensor support, and data logging turn moisture readings into process control.
Large-grain and small-grain coverage: Reads corn, soybean, barley, wheat, and major rice grains, kernel by kernel at approximately 60 pieces per minute.
Up to ten sensors, one system: Monitor multiple points across intake, drying, and distribution from a single controller and PC.
Threshold alarms and reporting: Set moisture limits with siren alerts, and log results with histograms and standard deviation for homogeneity tracking.
Optional cloud access: View live data remotely and compare results over time, with five years of data updates included.
The Production-Grade Standard for Online NIR Moisture Analysis
The KJT703 measures moisture and water activity continuously to 0.001% on open production lines: belt conveyors, screw conveyors, sluices, drop chutes, and gravity feeds. The sensor sees the product directly, scans at 0.1-second refresh, and reports moisture in real time. It shares the field-proven online platform of the KJT700 composition analyzer, configured for moisture measurement alone.
Solving Production Moisture Challenges
Spot checks miss most of your product: Pulling samples once per shift means most of production runs without measurement. The KJT703 delivers continuous moisture analysis at 0.1-second refresh, so every meter of product is verified, not just the sample on the lab bench.
Lab turnaround is too slow for process control: Oven-drying a moisture sample takes minutes to hours. By the time the result arrives, the line has already produced material against the wrong setpoint. The KJT703 closes the loop in real time, feeding live moisture data to your control system.
Contact methods disturb the product: Probes and manual sampling interrupt the line and can mar finished or delicate surfaces. Non-contact NIR reflectance reads moisture from 350 mm above the product, touching nothing.
Harsh process environments destroy lesser instruments: NEMA 12 housing protects against dust and water. The integrated air purge snout keeps the optical window clean in heavy-dust applications. Explosion-proof and CIP configurations are available for hazardous and food-grade installations.
Built for Production
The KJT703 measures across an approximately 50 mm spot at 350 mm focal length, scanning continuously at 0.1-second refresh. Up to 99 moisture calibrations are stored on each sensor head, and multiple heads network to a single connection for multi-point installations across a production line. NIR reflectance keeps the measurement non-contact and non-destructive, with automatic zero adjustment and on-board self-diagnostics for unattended operation. Each KJT703 ships with Kett's One-Year Total Care Warranty on parts, labor, and specification compliance. Post-warranty maintenance agreements and on-site calibration services are available.
Need composition, not moisture alone? The KJT700 Online NIR Composition Meter measures up to nine organic components on the same open-line platform, adding protein, fat, oil, sugar, and more alongside moisture.
Need moisture in a smaller, PC-free footprint? The KB30 Online NIR Moisture Meter is the world's smallest inline NIR sensor, a moisture-only smart sensor that needs no PC, for single-point installations where the full platform is more than the job requires.
Inline Single-Kernel Moisture Control, Rice and Grain Coverage
This dryer-mounted tester measures grain moisture continuously, reading individual kernels by electrical resistance as grain moves through. Calibrations cover milled, brown, and paddy rice plus barley, wheat, and naked barley, so one inline system handles a broad range of crops.
Multi-crop calibrations: Rice, barley, wheat, and naked barley in a single inline unit.
Automatic dryer control: Stops the dryer at your moisture setpoint for consistent drying without over-drying.
Continuous in-dryer reading: Moisture is measured in the grain flow, with no sampling and no pausing the dryer to check.
Single-kernel electrical resistance: Individual kernels are captured and measured as drying proceeds.
