How do you test for moisture, weight and temperature in grains, seeds, pulses and other foodstuffs both quickly and accurately?

The AM 5200 is a second-generation, high-frequency grain moisture meter that is user-friendly and adaptable.

It penetrates deep into samples for comprehensive results, offering and also improving accuracy in analysis, regardless of crop type or temperature.

Use the Perten AM 5200 to test for:

• Moisture

• Specific weight

• Temperature

on the following products:

• Beans

• Grains

• Lentils

• Oilseed Rape

• Pulses

• Seeds

Why choose the Perten AM 5200?

The AM 5200 has superior accuracy and repeatability, providing reliable results using a durable, die-cast aluminium 150 MHz measurement cell. The cell’s larger size means it can provide samples that are more representative.

For fresh field grain analysis, it offers improved accuracy. Many older grain moisture meters suffer from a moisture rebound effect, typically recording moisture from fresh field samples up to 1 per cent lower than they ought to be. The AM 5200 penetrates deeper into the grain for more accurate results.

This advanced grain moisture meter performs a rapid analysis, starting automatically as soon as you pour in a sample. It then displays results in less than 10 seconds. It also includes an optional flow-through for automated testing.

It is user-friendly. The AM 5200 has a large colour touchscreen for easy-to-read results with an intuitive user interface, making it straightforward to operate. The touchscreen uses resistive technology, so it works well with a stylus or even gloved fingers.

The AM 5200 is designed with flexibility in mind, ensuring that it is easy to input sample IDs, view results remotely on other screens, and upload data to USB memory sticks, along with ethernet connectivity.

How does it work?

Modern grain testing requires advanced technology, and the AM 5200 maximises this.

It uses the updated Unified Grain Moisture Algorithm (UGMA) which ensures stability, accurate repeatability and a single calibration line.

Alongside this, it draws on advanced computer processing, and incorporates USB data transfer and state of the art connectivity.

Why you should use a grain moisture meter

It is important to protect grains, pulses and other crops, and foodstuffs from mould and toxin growth. Understanding what their precise moisture content is can help you do this.

When grain is dried, it releases moisture into the air which makes it lose weight. Overdrying can therefore cut into your bottom line, reducing the money you can earn.

Reliable grain moisture meter readings will prevent overdrying.

Using the Perten AM 5200, you can optimise drying your grain by monitoring and measuring its moisture values in real-time, reducing the time and resources you spend on the drying process.

Consistency and Accuracy

The consistency and accuracy of an AM 5200 moisture meter can save you money and help you to maximise your returns.
