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 Tapioca Moisture Tester: Built-In Crusher, Instant Readings, and Six Commodity Settings
Check moisture in paddy, rice, and tapioca in seconds, without a separate grinder or oven. An integrated crusher prepares the sample and the unit returns a reading in about three seconds, so handling and quality staff can act on the result immediately. Battery or AC power suits both the bench and the storage floor.
Integrated crusher: Crush and measure in one benchtop unit, with no separate grinder to maintain.
Six commodity settings: Dedicated calibrations for paddy, milled rice, parboiled rice, parboiled paddy, tapioca pellet, and tapioca flour.
Instant results: Moisture readings in about three seconds, with automatic sample-temperature compensation.
Bench or portable: Runs on AC or four D batteries for roughly 23 hours of continuous use.
