Home » Rice Quality Measurement Instruments
Instant moisture, composition, and quality measurement for rice at every stage from paddy to plate. Handheld, desktop, and online instruments recognized as the worldwide standard for rice assessment.
Why manufacturers and laboratories choose Kett rice quality measurement instruments.
Get moisture, protein, amylose, and quality results in as little as 5 seconds with no sample alteration, reagents, or lab turnaround required.
Kett instruments are recognized globally as the benchmark for rice quality measurement, with calibrations built to JIS and USDA rice moisture criteria.
Instruments can be integrated to cover the full quality workflow, from harvest moisture testing through composition analysis, grading, and yield management.
The PQ520 measures individual kernel moisture to evaluate quality and homogeneity within a sample, giving processors a detailed view of moisture distribution across a batch.
Automatically scan, digitize, and categorize individual rice kernels by preset criteria, eliminating variation between manual graders and standardizing quality specifications.
Simpler and less expensive than Karl Fischer testing. Fast, automatic tests with no consumables, no sample prep, and no disposal requirements.
Kett has long been recognized as the leader in Rice measurement. We offer many types of measurement instruments that guide the rice from paddy to plate. These instruments include rice moisture analyzers including the Riceter, the world’s largest selling moisture analyzer for portable use as well as single kernel grain moisture analyzers, allowing the processor to categorize the distribution of moisture within his process.
We also offer rice quality measurement instruments to determine the percentage of broken, crushed, immature and other substandard rice grains. In addition, we manufacture rice composition analyzers to instantly provide moisture measurement, amylose measurement, and protein measurement within a sample. Tests are fast, accurate, and automatic.
Kett Rice Quality Instruments and Tools serve a wide range of applications for field, laboratory and production needs.
The OT Rice Harvester automatically calculates temperature hours so individual fields can be harvested at peak moisture for optimal quality and yield.
Moisture and composition testing at any point in the rice processing workflow, from incoming raw material through finished product quality control.
Simultaneously measure moisture, protein, and amylose in a single 5-second test. Automatically grade rice to eliminate variation and maintain consistent supply chain specifications.
Coatweight and film thickness measurement for coated paper, plastic film, and foils.
Moisture and cellulose analysis in pulp, paper, and board products.
R&D and QC testing for multi-component organic analysis across materials
In-line and at-line testing for process control and quality assurance.
Moisture and composition testing for seeds, soil, feed, and raw agricultural products.
Popular rice quality measurement instruments from Kett. View all products in this category for the full lineup.
Scans and digitizes individual rice kernels, then categorizes them against preset criteria for brown and polished white rice. Factory calibrations included with the option to customize grading characteristics. Compact enough to bring to supplier or customer locations for replicable, on-site quality testing.
The world’s largest selling rice moisture meter, originally developed in the 1950s and continuously refined ever since. Tests rice to both JIS and USDA criteria, with select versions also calibrated for wheat, barley, and other small seed crops. Battery-powered with a belt-clip leather case for easy field use.
Specially designed to quickly and accurately peel off the husk of grains for the purpose of measuring and inspecting the extent of product defects and/or damage to crops. May also be used to ‘polish’ rice for further testing.
