You need a grain moisture meter or a moisture analyser If you deal in grains in any capacity, whether as a commodity trader, a farmer, feed producer, or aggregator or laboratory.
In this article, you’ll get to know about grain moisture meters, how they work, how to choose the best moisture meter for your operations and why you need one.
What is a moisture analyser?
The moisture analyser is an equipment that works by recording the start weight of the sample, then gradually drying the sample whilst continually recording sample's weight.
When the sample stops losing weight the heating component will switch off and the final weight of the sample is also recorded. From the total weight loss, then it’s possible to calculate the moisture content of the sample.
Why you need to buy a grain moisture meter?
Some moisture meters like GrainMate comes with a mobile app that lets users record, track the moisture content of grains across different suppliers and get useful recommendations. Aside from being effective and accurate, GrainMate Moisture Meter is considerably less expensive than other meters on the market. And affordability is very important since most farmers in Africa are unable to afford expensive technology tools. The GrainMate Moisture Meter is also very portable, easy to use, and can be calibrated. It also supports popular grains grown in Africa including corn, rice, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, millet, and groundnuts.
It’s a proven fact that poor moisture content in grains can have adverse effects on the quality of grains. This could result in big losses for both farmers and traders. Which is why you need to have a good quality moisture meter to measure the moisture content in your grains before, during and after harvest.
The right grain moisture meter is a good investment that will definitely help you reduce losses and save money for several years.

Moisture Analysers
What is the best moisture analyser for laboratory or production workers?
The ideal choice for laboratories and production facilities is usually a moisture analyser that guides operatives through the process and is simple to use. This ensures that every operative follows the correct procedure, leading to greater accuracy, more consistency, and a lower chance of handling errors.
Depending on the setting, other features like user management or quick use shortcuts can also be helpful. Accurate Weighing Scales Ltd.’s moisture analysers are designed to be intuitive and easy to use, making them a valuable addition to a laboratory or production site.
What are the advantages of halogen heating in a moisture Analyser?
Halogen heating is an advantage because these lamps have a low mass and fast reaction times. This means they’re more precise and easier to control than other heating systems.
Halogen heating also evenly distributes heat across the sample, leading to accurate and replicable results.
