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.
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.
