A digital grain hardness tester is a precision instrument used to measure the hardness of cereal grains, such as wheat, corn, barley, and rice. Traditional methods rely on manual or semi-quantitative approaches, but digital testers provide fast and accurate results. Grain hardness tester helps ensure consistent product quality, optimize processing methods, and support the selection of superior grain varieties.
Digital Grain Hardness Tester Features a User-friendly Operation Panel
There are four buttons for operation: ON/OFF, UNIT, SET, ZERO
- ON/OFF. When this key is pressed, the power is turned on, and when the measurement interface appears and the machine is turned off, press this key again to turn off the power.
- UNIT. When pressing this key, you can switch between two different units. Press the "UNIT" key for5-6 seconds to turn over the value on screen.
- SET. In the test interface, press this key to enter the peak or auto peak test mode, long press the "SET" key for 5-6 seconds to enter the setting item interface.
- ZERO. When this key is pressed, the hardness value tested on the screen will be reset to zero.
Rechargeable Grain Hardness Tester
- Convenience and Portability. Rechargeable digital grain hardness testers eliminate the need for constant replacement of disposable batteries. Users can charge the device once and use it multiple times, which is especially useful for field testing where access to electricity may be limited.
- Cost-effectiveness. Over time, disposable batteries can become a significant recurring expense. A rechargeable tester reduces ongoing costs. A rechargeable tester reduces ongoing costs, as a single rechargeable battery can last for hundreds of charge cycles, providing long-term savings.
Applications
SISCO's grain hardness tester is widely used in agriculture, food processing, and cereal research to measure the hardness and quality of grains such as wheat, corn, rice, barley, and sorghum. In agriculture, it helps farmers and seed producers evaluate grain quality for planting, breeding, and storage purposes. In food processing, this hardness tester is crucial for milling, baking, and brewing industries, as grain hardness directly affects flour yield and dough characteristics.

Structure:
Q1: What is a digital grain hardness tester?
A1: A digital grain hardness tester is an instrument used to measure the hardness of cereal grains, such as wheat, barley, or corn. It helps determine grain quality, milling performance, and end-use suitability. Unlike traditional methods, digital testers provide precise, fast, and reproducible readings, often displaying results on a digital screen in standardized units.
Q2: How to maintain digital grain hardness tester?
A2: To maintain a digital grain hardness tester, keep it clean and dry at all times. After each use, wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove dust and grain residues. Avoid exposing the device to moisture or extreme temperatures. Regularly check the tester to ensure accurate readings. Store it in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the display. Handle the probe carefully and avoid applying excessive force.
Q3: How do environmental conditions affect testing accuracy?
A3: Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and dust can significantly affect the accuracy of a grain hardness tester. High humidity can cause grains to absorb moisture, softening them and leading to lower hardness readings. To ensure reliable results, the tester should be used in a stable, clean, and moderate environment.Β
Tips: Is the digital grain hardness tester suitable for field use or only laboratory use?
The digital grain hardness tester is suitable for both field and laboratory use. Its compact design and rechargeable battery make it convenient for on-site testing, allowing users to quickly measure grain hardness during harvesting, storage, or processing. However, for high-precision research or detailed analysis, laboratory use is preferred due to controlled environmental conditions.
