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.
Grain and Pasta Moisture Tester: Built-In Crusher, Instant Readings, Combined Grain and Wheat-Based Settings
Measure moisture in grain and wheat-based products in seconds from a single benchtop unit. An integrated crusher prepares the sample and the unit returns a reading in about three seconds, with automatic temperature compensation for steady results.
Integrated crusher: Crush and measure in one benchtop unit, with no separate grinder to maintain.
Instant results: Moisture readings in about three seconds, with automatic sample-temperature compensation.
Bench or portable: Runs on AC or four D batteries for continuous use.
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.
Instant Jute Moisture Testing for Bags, Yarns, and Stacked Stock
Check jute moisture in seconds at receiving, in storage, or on the line. Two included sensors handle individual bags and stacked formations, with instant electrical resistance measurement replacing hours of oven testing.
Two Sensors Included: Pressure sensor for measuring each jute bag separately, plus a two-needle probe for jute in stacked formation
Wide Measurement Range: 6 to 100% moisture (dry basis) covers everything from dry stock to saturated material
Built for the Field: Handheld, battery-powered, 0.5 kg, with a large easy-read display and auto power off
Quality Control Ready: Upper limit alarm flags wet lots, with average display and bias adjustment for your material
Instant Cotton Moisture Testing for Raw Cotton, Bales, and Thread
Get moisture readings in seconds at the gin, the warehouse, or the mill. Two included sensors cover the cotton supply chain from raw fiber to finished thread, with instant electrical resistance measurement replacing hours of oven testing.
Two Sensors Included: Lightweight pressure sensor for raw cotton plus a two-needle probe for bales and thread
Adapts to Your Cotton: Record up to 10 user calibration curves for regional and varietal differences
Built for the Field: Handheld, battery-powered, 0.5 kg, with auto power off and a hard carrying case
Quality Control Ready: Upper limit alarm, average display, and storage for 250 readings
Instant Hay Moisture Testing in Bales and Windrows
Insert the probe and read moisture in seconds, in the field or in the barn. Instant electrical resistance measurement puts a number behind baling, storage, and sales decisions while there is still time to act on it.
Probe and Read: Long probe reaches into bales and windrows for a reading in seconds, right where the hay sits
Protect Stored Hay: Catch damp hay before it ferments or rots, and avoid the quality loss of over-drying
Built for the Field: Handheld, battery-powered, 0.5 kg, with auto power off and a carrying case
Fair Transactions: Upper limit alarm (10 to 39%), average display, and moisture correction to match your reference results
