The Sinar Moisture Meter is a precision moisture and density analyser designed for rapid and reliable measurement of moisture content in grain and seeds without damaging or processing the sample. Manufactured by Sinar Technology in the UK, this instrument is trusted by farmers, grain traders, processors, and quality control professionals for accurate moisture assessment during harvest, drying, storage, and trading operations.
Using advanced capacitance and weight sensing technology, the Sinar meter calculates moisture content quickly — typically within 6–7 seconds — simply by adding a sample to the measurement cell and initiating a test. With built‑in temperature compensation, the results reflect true moisture percentages unaffected by sample temperature.
The clear alphanumeric display and menu‑driven interface make it easy to switch between commodities using stored calibration curves, and optional accessories allow measurement of bulk density and data communication to PCs or mobile devices.
This moisture meter comes complete with essential accessories such as a carry case, measuring cup, strike‑off blade, loading hopper, and calibration sample — ready for field or laboratory use.
