Schaller humimeter FS1 – Portable Grain Moisture Meter for Field Use

The humimeter FS1 Whole grain grain moisture meter is perfect for field control in agriculture and is often used to measure barley moisture. The meter is easy to use and only requires a small amount of sample. Cost-intensive errors due to incorrect humidity are thus avoided.
Our humimeter FS1 Moisture meter for grain has a measuring range of 5% to 30% water content (depending on the variety).

Areas of Application:
The grain moisture meter is used for corn, rye, triticale, wheat, barley, oats, rapeseed, soybeans, horse beans, sunflower seeds, sorghum, millet, mustard seed, buckwheat, rice husked and unhusked, green coffee husked and roasted coffee. The device is particularly suitable for field use.

The measuring device is adjusted after calibration to the reference method

• EN ISO 6540 for corn
• EN ISO 665 for oilseeds
• EN ISO 712 for grain
• EN ISO 24557 for legumes and beans

Benefits

• Whole-grain measuring device with a small sample quantity of 60 g
• For many cereals
• No sample preparation necessary
• Reduces drying costs
• Prevent mold growth

Handling and measurement process

In order to ensure precise measurement values ​​in the long term, the humimeter grain moisture meter automatically performs a self-calibration after being switched on.
The relevant characteristic curve for the type of grain to be measured can then be selected on the device.
The measuring chamber of the grain measuring device is then filled with the required amount of the grain type. In order to determine the exact amount of grain, a scale and a measuring cup are included in the scope of delivery.

Thanks to a "hold function", the measured values ​​can be frozen on the display until the next button is pressed.
In order to increase the measurement accuracy and reproducibility, different hectoliter weight levels are stored in the device. This means that different bulk densities do not have a negative impact on the measurements. The entire grain moisture meter series has been calibrated and checked using the calibratable drying method EN-ISO 712.
At the same time, the sample temperature is measured, displayed and included in the moisture calculation.
The temperature range is from 0°C to 40°C and can be displayed in either °C or °F.

The water content can immediately be read off the large, well-lit display of the grain moisture tester.

– No time-consuming preparation of the sample is necessary
– Non-destructive measuring method
– Also barley moisture meter
