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.
$2,895.00
Moisture drives the texture, shelf life, and processing behavior of pasta, noodles, and flour. The PB3104 gives producers and quality teams a dependable moisture reading in seconds, right where the product is made, without sending samples to a lab or waiting on an oven.
The PB3104 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 PB3104 is backed by Kett’s One Year Total Care Warranty, with maintenance agreements available for production environments.
Need to test rice, paddy, or tapioca instead? The PB3103 Grain and Tapioca Moisture Tester is the same instrument calibrated for paddy, milled and parboiled rice, and tapioca.
