Grain Moisture Meter – DMM Series

A. Product Overview

The Grain Moisture Meter DMM Series is designed for routine moisture measurement in agricultural commodities, food materials and processed products.

It is suitable for users who need a simple portable instrument for checking moisture during purchasing, storage, processing, quality inspection or trading.

The DMM Series provides:

Measurement range from 0 to 40 percent

Sensitivity of 0.1 percent

Accuracy of 0.2 percent

One sample measurement per minute

Automatic inbuilt temperature compensation

3.5 LCD display

Low battery indication

Four pencil cell operation

Power consumption of approximately 0.03 watts

Non destructive sample testing

ABS moulded body

Weight below 1 kg

No mechanical moving parts

Different stored crop calibrations depending on model

The DMM Series includes models from DMM to DMM8. The model designation indicates the number of different crop or item calibrations stored in the instrument.

B. Working Principle

The Grain Moisture Meter DMM Series works on the principle of measuring the dielectric constant of the material.

Different agricultural materials have electrical properties that vary according to their moisture content. When the selected sample is placed in the measuring section, the instrument measures the dielectric characteristics of that material.

The internal electronics process the measurement according to the stored calibration for the selected commodity and display the corresponding moisture percentage.

The instrument also includes automatic temperature compensation. This helps compensate for changes caused by sample temperature during moisture measurement.

The sample testing method is non destructive, making the instrument suitable for routine testing of agricultural commodities.

C. Why Is the Grain Moisture Meter DMM Series Used?

Moisture content is an important parameter when buying, selling, storing and processing grains and agricultural products.

A digital grain moisture meter allows users to quickly check whether the moisture level of a commodity is within the required range.

The DMM Series can be used for:

Grain purchasing

Agricultural commodity trading

Incoming material inspection

Warehouse quality checks

Storage monitoring

Rice mill testing

Flour mill testing

Dal mill testing

Seed processing

Oilseed processing

Feed manufacturing

Spice processing

Food processing

Quality control

Routine moisture inspection

Moisture testing before storage

Moisture testing before processing

Testing during procurement

Testing agricultural products before commercial transactions

Because different crops have different characteristics, the appropriate stored calibration should be selected for the material being tested.
