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.
$2,895.00
Moisture determines how safely rice, paddy, and tapioca can be stored, milled, and traded. The PB3103 gives processors and quality teams a dependable moisture reading in seconds, right at the point of handling, without sending samples to a lab or waiting on an oven.
The PB3103 reads on a clear dot-matrix display, averages repeat measurements, and includes a built-in check mode so operators can confirm the unit is reading correctly before a shift. It runs on AC power or four D batteries for portability, and an optional thermal printer captures results for records. Every PB3103 is backed by Kett’s One Year Total Care Warranty, with maintenance agreements available for processing environments.
Need to test pasta, noodles, or flour instead? The PB3104 Pasta Moisture Tester is the same instrument calibrated for wheat, flour, noodle, and pasta products.
