Grain humidity meters (hygometers)
Check Grain Moisture Before Your Next Processing Decision
Moisture content matters when planning harvesting, drying and storage. For farmers, seed producers and grain processors, a grain moisture meter provides a practical way to assess a sample and decide what needs attention next.
AEROMEH offers the MIV-1 for express moisture analysis of cereals, legumes, oilseeds and their processed products under production conditions. Explore its specifications and discuss your testing requirements with our team.
Moisture Testing for Everyday Grain Management
A grain moisture tester helps you replace guesswork with a measured result. Regular checks can support drying decisions, comparisons between batches and assessments before grain enters storage.
The value of testing depends on both the instrument and the way you use it. Select equipment that covers your crop and expected moisture range, then follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sample preparation and measurement.
For operations handling several crops, this makes crop suitability an important part of the purchase decision.
Measurement Ranges for Grain and Oilseeds
When choosing a moisture meter for grain and oilseeds, compare the published specifications with the materials you process. The MIV-1 lists the following moisture measurement ranges:
| Material | Published measurement range |
|---|---|
| Cereals and legumes | style=”padding: 10px;”10–35% |
| Oilseeds | 5–35% |
| Processed products | 10–16% |
The specified operating temperature is 0°C to +40°C, and the power supply is 9 V.
Measurement range and accuracy are separate specifications. The published measurement error varies by material and moisture level, so discuss the relevant values for your crop before selecting the instrument.
Include Moisture Checks in Seed Preparation
For seed producers and farms preparing their own sowing material, a seed moisture meter adds moisture assessment to the preparation workflow. It can help you identify lots that need closer attention before storage or further processing.
Moisture is one part of seed quality assessment. Germination, purity and seed health require their own checks. Tell AEROMEH which crops you prepare and how you intend to use the readings so you can confirm whether MIV-1 fits the task.
Get More Useful Results from Your Equipment
Effective grain moisture testing equipment works best within a consistent testing routine. Representative sampling, suitable operating conditions and proper maintenance all influence the usefulness of the result.
For routine testing:
- Collect samples that represent the bulk material.
- Keep samples free of soil and other contaminants.
- Follow the instrument’s sample preparation instructions.
- Allow the sample and meter temperatures to equilibrate.
- Keep testing within the specified measurement range.
- Follow the recommended calibration and maintenance procedures.
These practices help make readings more consistent and easier to compare over time.
Discuss Your Requirements with AEROMEH
Founded in Ukraine in 2001, AEROMEH develops and manufactures agricultural equipment, including CAD grain separators, grain-cleaning complexes and material-handling machinery. Moisture measurement complements this wider focus on grain preparation and processing.
