HB300 Portable Universal Moisture Meter

The Affordable Way to Measure Moisture in Materials That Have No Standard Meter

Most moisture meters are locked to one material: one for wood, one for grain, one for paper. If your product is cardboard, drywall, processed food, or a paste or powder with no meter of its own, you are left with the slow drying-oven method. The HB300 solves this by letting you build your own calibration for almost any solid, powder, granule, paste, or sheet, measuring the moisture in seconds.

Solving the Everyday Measurement Problems

• No meter exists for your product: Take a few samples with known laboratory moisture values, measure them on the HB300, and enter the pairs. The meter builds a calibration curve for that material and stores it.
• You measure several different products: Keep up to 10 separate calibrations on board, one per channel. Name each channel so any staff member can pull up the right one and measure with confidence.
• The drying method is too slow: Loss on drying ties up an oven and an operator for hours. The HB300 reads moisture the moment the probe touches the sample.
• Readings need to be recorded: The meter logs up to 250 measurements with date and time. Print them through the optional thermal printer or carry the full record back for review.

Built for the Field and the Plant Floor

The HB300 runs on six AA batteries and carries on a shoulder strap, so it goes to the sample instead of the sample coming to the lab. Integrated temperature compensation and a sealed membrane keypad keep it stable through daily use, and a fitted carrying case protects it between jobs. Every HB300 is backed by a full one-year warranty on parts and labor, with maintenance agreements available. A range of optional probes, including four-needle, conductive rubber, and constant-pressure types, adapts the meter to the shape and surface of your product.

Need the same programmable versatility without touching the sample? The KJT130 Handheld NIR Moisture Meter calibrates to your own materials like the HB300, but measures at a distance: no surface contact, leaving the sample untouched.
