About: Since 1993, we have been manufacturing Agro body Grain Moisture Meters. Weighing approximately 9.5 kg, they are significantly lighter than other 30 cc sample volume models, making them more portable. The simplified design and single-button operation also lower the moisture meter cost compared to other models. The model 6001 is especially favored by rice millers for its ease of use, featuring a single switch that minimizes human error, making it ideal for quick and easy moisture checks, even for less experienced users.
Application: These moisture meters are highly popular in the milling industry and are widely used in dal mills, rice mills, flour mills, grain warehouses, seed companies, and government procurement agencies.
Construction: In these Agro Body moisture meter models, the main body is made from mild steel plates, while the test cup, ratchet handle, and crank handle’s body are constructed from stainless steel. Pressure is applied via a top plunger, while the test cup remains stationary during moisture measurement. The thickness is measured using a linear vertical scale (main division) and a round dial (subdivision) on the top of the meter. The mechanical components, including the buttress thread lead screw, bevel gears, main body, and plungers, are manufactured with high precision using CNC machining to ensure interchangeability
Working Principle: Agro body digital moisture meters for grains operate on the principle that the electrical resistance of grains changes with moisture content. A table is programmed into the microcontroller to map the relationship between moisture content and resistivity constant. Additionally, they are programmed to compensate for temperature variations, ensuring precise moisture measurement for grains.
Operation: These moisture meters feature a single switch for easy operation. To operate, a fixed volume of grain (about 30 cc) is measured using the provided volume cup and transferred to the stainless steel test cup. High pressure is then applied to compress the grain to a predetermined thickness, after which the switch is pressed to display the moisture content on the LED display of the rapid digital moisture meter.
Standards: The accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of this machine meet BIS (IS-8824 Part 1: 2022) and international standards. Indosaw now has an in-house NABL-approved (ISO 17025: 2017) moisture testing lab for IS-4333 (Part 2: 2017) to verify the results of our grain moisture meters.
