The instrument that can detect the moisture content in wheat is called a wheat moisture meter. The wheat moisture meter adopts the principle of pyrolysis weight. While measuring the weight of the sample, the infrared heating unit and moisture evaporation channel quickly dry the sample. During the drying process, the moisture meter continuously measures and displays the percentage of moisture content lost in the sample. After the drying program is completed, the final measured moisture content value is locked and displayed, Generally, the sample can be determined in just a few minutes.

In addition, there is an infrared moisture meter that uses physical heating to remove free moisture and measures moisture through weight changes. This type of moisture meter is often used in industries with low precision requirements, such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, chemicals, food, grains, etc. Because compared to an oven, the testing time is shorter, the use is convenient, the accuracy is higher, and the efficiency is much higher, usually only a few minutes.
