As we approach harvest and consider the best way to preserve combined cereals or pulses, knowing the moisture content accurately is critically important to ensure that the preservative selected is suitable for the crop at that moisture.
Also, application rates vary according to moisture. Under-application risks costly spoilage losses, whereas over-application adds unnecessary costs.
Most moisture meters are inaccurate at higher moistures than 25%, but our specially calibrated Wile 55 has been developed for testing grains and pulses to 45% moisture. It is the perfect tool to give peace of mind that you are using the right product at the right rate to give the very best results as cost-effectively as possible.
This simple-to-use, whole grain moisture meter is exclusively available from Kelvin Cave Ltd.
