The Handy Digital Moisture Meter is a compact, reliable, and user-friendly solution for accurately measuring the moisture content of food grains, pulses, oil seeds, vegetable seeds, millets, and coffee seeds. Since 2004, Indosaw has been manufacturing these innovative portable meters to meet the growing demand for lightweight yet durable devices that are both efficient and affordable.

Design and Construction: This model features a sturdy compression unit made from high-strength ABS molded plastic, ensuring durability while keeping the weight low (approximately 1 to 2 kg). The design makes it easy to carry and operate in the field, warehouses, or trading environments. A molded circular base holds the compression unit firmly in place, while the handle provides consistent pressure during operation. The automatic disengagement mechanism ensures the pressure applied is uniform, resulting in consistent and repeatable readings.

Measurement Principle and Accuracy: The working principle of the device is based on the electrical resistance of grains, which varies according to their moisture content. The internal microcontroller uses pre-programmed calibration tables to accurately map resistance values to corresponding moisture percentages. Automatic temperature compensation using a PT-100 sensor further enhances accuracy. The device maintains consistency within ±0.5% depending on crop type and moisture range, with a resolution of 0.1%.

Operation and Ease of Use: The moisture meter is designed for simplicity and speed. A fixed grain volume of about 13 cc is measured using the provided sample cup and placed into the test chamber. The grains are compressed to a preset thickness with the handle, and the automatic disengagement ensures uniform pressure. Once the ‘read’ switch is pressed, the moisture percentage instantly appears on the alphanumeric LCD display. For user convenience, the device is equipped with three programmable hotkeys for quick access to frequently tested crops.

Specifications: Commodity Calibration: Food grains, pulses, oil seeds, vegetable seeds, millets, coffee seeds. Moisture Range: 3.5 to 40%, depending on crop type Consistency: ±0.5% (varies with crop and range) Resolution: 0.1%. Principle of Measurement: Electrical resistance Temperature Compensation: Automatic (PT-100 sensor) Display: 2×16 character alphanumeric LCD Power Supply: 9 V DC adaptor or 6 dry cells Keypad: 9-key membrane type Error Indication: Under Range/Over Range messages Low Battery Alert: Display notification; moisture reading disabled when battery is low Weight: Approximately 1 to 2 kg.

Standards and Quality Assurance: The Handy Digital Moisture Meter complies with BIS (IS-8824 Part 1: 2022) and meets international accuracy and reproducibility standards. Indosaw further ensures reliability through its in-house NABL-accredited (ISO 17025:2017) Moisture Testing Laboratory, certified for IS-4333 (Part 2: 2017). This enables accurate verification of calibration data and guarantees that every meter delivers dependable results.

Applications: This meter is widely used by farmers, traders, grain merchants, and schools/universities for quick and reliable Lab/field-level moisture measurement. Its lightweight construction, low cost, and robust performance make it a trusted choice across multiple commodities.
