Grain Moisture Meter
A Grain Moisture Meter is a portable electronic device used to measure the moisture content present in grains, cereals, and seeds. Accurate moisture measurement is essential in agriculture, food processing, and storage industries because excess moisture can lead to spoilage, fungal growth, insect infestation, or reduced market value of grains. The device typically works on the principle of capacitance, resistance, or infrared radiation, where the dielectric properties of the grains are measured and converted into moisture percentage. Grain samples are either placed in a testing chamber or probed directly in bulk storage for instant readings. Grain moisture meters are widely used by farmers, grain traders, millers, food processors, and quality control laboratories to ensure proper harvesting, drying, and storage of grains.
Uses:
- Checking grain moisture at harvest time.
- Monitoring during drying and storage.
- Ensuring compliance with market standards.
- Preventing losses due to spoilage.
- Wide Measurement Range – Measures moisture content in grains, cereals, oilseeds, pulses, and other crops.
- High Accuracy & Precision – Provides reliable moisture percentage with minimal error.
- Digital Display – Clear LCD/LED screen for easy reading of moisture values.
- Multiple Grain Calibration – Pre-programmed for different grains (like rice, wheat, maize, barley, soybean, etc.) with option for user calibration.
- Portable & Lightweight – Easy to carry for field and storage applications.
- Fast Response Time – Provides instant moisture readings within seconds.
- Data Hold Function – Option to freeze readings on display for convenience.
- Temperature Compensation – Automatically adjusts readings considering grain temperature.
- Durable Design – Made with rugged material for field use.
- Low Power Consumption – Operates on batteries with long battery life.
- Sampling Options – Some models allow direct grain chamber testing, while others use external probes for bulk storage measurements.
- User-Friendly Interface – Simple buttons and easy operation, suitable for farmers and traders.
