HX400 Jute Moisture Meter

Purpose-Built for Jute Moisture, From Warehouse to Mill

Moisture determines whether jute stores safely, prices fairly, and processes cleanly, but oven testing takes hours and ties results to the lab. The HX400 delivers instant readings wherever the jute is: individual bags at inspection, stacked stock in the warehouse, and yarns in production.

Solving Jute Moisture Challenges

• Bags and Stacks With One Meter: The included pressure sensor reads each bag separately while the two-needle probe measures jute in stacked formation, so inspection does not require breaking down the stack
• Slow Laboratory Methods: Instant electrical resistance measurement calibrated against the textile industry reference oven method, with standard error of 0.9% at moisture values of 20% or lower
• Material Variation: Bias adjustment from −9.9 to +9.9% against each calibration lets you align readings with your reference results
• Screening at Volume: Set an upper limit alarm to flag wet lots instantly and average multiple readings for lot-level decisions

Built for Receiving Docks and Godowns

At 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) with six AA batteries and automatic power off, the HX400 goes wherever inspection happens and is always ready when you are. The large 76 × 52 mm display reads clearly in working light, and the shoulder strap and carrying case handle daily transport. Backed by the One Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance.

Measuring cotton instead of jute? The HX500 Cotton Moisture Tester applies the same instant resistance measurement to raw cotton, bales, and thread.
