Legacy desktop single-kernel grain and rice moisture meter. Replaced by the PQ520.
The PQ500 was Kett's first-generation desktop single-kernel moisture meter, measuring kernels individually and building a moisture distribution histogram for harvest timing, drying optimization, and lot consistency verification. Current production has moved to the PQ520, which offers expanded calibrations, faster throughput, USB output, and universal voltage.
Original single-kernel design: Resistance-based measurement of each kernel, with average moisture, kernel count, and 21-segment LED histogram display.
Four factory calibrations: Wheat, barley, rice, and paddy rice. Sample sizes selectable from 10 to 1,000 kernels.
Service and replacement support: Service and parts availability is limited for this legacy unit. Contact Kett for current options.
Legacy desktop single-kernel corn moisture meter. No direct replacement in the current Kett lineup.
The PQ100 was Kett's single-kernel moisture meter for corn, measuring kernels individually using DC resistance and reporting average moisture, standard deviation, and a moisture distribution histogram. The two-piece design used a separate handheld controller with integrated thermal printer connected to the main measurement body. Corn processors and grain operations used it to detect uneven drying and verify lot consistency at the per-kernel level.
Corn-specific single-kernel design: DC resistance measurement of individual kernels, with measurement range of 9–40% and sample sizes from 11 to 599 kernels.
Two-piece form factor: Main measurement body plus separate handheld controller with LED display, keypad, and integrated thermal printer.
No direct replacement: The current Kett single-kernel measurement option is the RX inline series, automated for installed grain handling systems rather than desktop operation. Contact Kett for guidance.
in conjunction with several government agencies, the TA6 allows the user to easily test whole leaf tobacco.
Simply place the probe on the leaf and use the analog display to record the moisture value.
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.
Pasta Moisture Tester: Built-In Crusher, Instant Readings, and Six Wheat-Based Settings
Measure moisture in wheat, flour, noodles, and pasta 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 production and quality staff can act on the result on the spot. Battery or AC power makes it equally suited to the line or the bench.
Integrated crusher: Crush and measure in one benchtop unit, with no separate grinder to maintain.
Six wheat-based settings: Dedicated calibrations for wheat, two flour types, noodle, pasta, and corn flour.
Instant results: Moisture readings in about three seconds, with automatic sample-temperature compensation.
Line or bench: Runs on AC or four D batteries for roughly 23 hours of continuous use.
