Description
The Wile Moisture Meter with Grain Crusher (Crusher Tester) is a high‑precision handheld grain moisture meter designed to measure the moisture content of grains and seeds more accurately than standard surface‑only devices. Unlike conventional moisture meters, this model crushes the grain sample before testing, allowing it to analyze moisture levels beneath the outer shell — giving truer results especially for variable shell thickness or post‑drying conditions.
Ideal for farmers, grain traders, cooperatives, warehouses, grain dryers, and export quality inspectors, this tester is compact, rugged, and easy to use in the field, at the storage facility, or in processing plants. The fast results — typically in less than 20 seconds per sample — help you make timely decisions on drying, storage safety, pricing, or grading.
Key Benefits
· Crusher/Grinding Sampling for deeper moisture assessment
· Portable, handheld design with ergonomic scoop‑style loading cap
· Fast result turnaround (often ~20 s)
· Measures many grain and seed types using built‑in grain scales
· Automatic temperature compensation improves consistency
· Includes robust accessories like cleaning brushes and a carrying case

Price Range (Indicative)
Moisture meters like this — especially with built‑in grain crusher testers — are premium handheld instruments. International price listings for models like the Wile 78 Crusher typically range from roughly $600 – $1,200+ USD (~UGX 2,300,000 – 4,600,000+) depending on supplier, accessories, and warranty.
In Uganda, basic handheld grain moisture meters usually start around UGX 600,000 – 2,500,000 (for simpler models), while advanced crushing testers sit at the higher end of the range.
