Sample Preparation That Protects Your Moisture Reading

Every moisture determination is only as good as the sample behind it. Motorized grinders generate heat that drives off moisture before the sample ever reaches the balance, building error into the result from the start. The TQ100 solves this with simple hand-crank operation that crushes grain, food, and medicine into uniform particles with minimal moisture loss.

Solving Sample Preparation Challenges

• Heat-Driven Moisture Loss: Manual crushing keeps the sample at room temperature, preserving its true moisture content for oven drying and moisture balance methods
• Inconsistent Particle Size: Uniform crushing produces consistent 20–30 mesh particles from rice, giving repeatable results across operators and samples
• Beyond Grain: Crushes food and medicine samples as well, covering the range of materials a QC lab actually sees

Built for the Lab and Quality Control Room

The TQ100 clamps securely to any bench edge and needs no power, no maintenance schedule, and no warm-up. At 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) with an all-metal body, it handles daily use in a working lab. An approximately 5 g sample per crush matches the sample sizes moisture balances and oven methods call for. Backed by the One Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance.
