PT2700 Inline Grain Moisture Monitor

Dryer-Mounted Inline Moisture Monitoring — Continuous Single-Point Measurement

Mount it on a dryer or unloading station and measure grain moisture continuously as it flows. The PT2700 reads moisture in real time and can control the dryer automatically, stopping the drying cycle when grain reaches your target moisture. No computer required.

  • Continuous inline measurement: Reads moisture repeatedly during drying, with results on a clear on-unit display.
  • Automatic dryer control: Stops the dryer at your moisture setpoint, then manages cool-down before shutoff.
  • Three grain configurations: Choose the type matched to your crop, from paddy-only to multi-grain rice, wheat, and barley.
  • Built for the dryer environment: Single-kernel electrical resistance sensing with no sample handling and no consumables.

Single-Point Inline Moisture Monitoring at the Dryer

The PT2700 measures grain moisture continuously, right where drying happens. Mounted on a dryer or at a grain unloading station, its sensor reads moisture as grain passes through, so operators see live moisture without pulling samples or stopping the line. In automatic mode, the PT2700 controls the dryer directly, ending the cycle when grain reaches the target moisture you set.

Solving Everyday Drying Challenges

  • Over-drying wastes energy and shrinks weight: The PT2700 stops the dryer at your moisture setpoint, so you dry to target instead of guessing.
  • Manual sampling interrupts the process: Continuous inline reading means no scooping, no bench tests, and no pauses to check progress.
  • Different crops need different calibrations: Four configurations cover paddy, rice varieties, wheat, and barley, each calibrated for accurate single-kernel measurement.
  • Drying areas are hot and dusty: The sensor installs in the grain flow and runs without consumables or sample prep.

Four Configurations for Your Crop

The PT2700 ships in the configuration matched to the grain you handle:

  • Type 2751: Paddy.
  • Type 2752: Paddy, wheat, barley, brown rice, and milled rice.
  • Type 2753: Short, long, jasmine, and long sticky paddy, long parboiled rice, and wheat.
  • Type 2756: Short, long, jasmine, and long sticky paddy, long parboiled rice, long milled rice, long brown rice, and wheat.

Built for the Dryer Floor

The PT2700 uses single-kernel electrical resistance sensing for fast, repeatable readings during drying. Results show on a clear seven-segment display at the unit, and an RS-232C output sends data to a computer or printer when you want a record. Automatic mode manages the full drying cycle, including a programmable cool-down period before shutoff. The instrument is backed by the One Year Kett Total Care Warranty, covering parts, labor, and specification compliance.

Need to monitor moisture across your whole facility? The RX20 Inline Grain Moisture Meter connects up to ten sensors to one PC with data logging, alarms, and optional cloud access.

Need single-kernel testing at the bench instead of inline? The PQ520 Single Kernel Moisture Meter measures lot samples on the benchtop. (Verify PQ520 slug before publishing.)
