The Farmex® MOISTUREMATCH(TM) is the first and only moisture tester to be programmed with grain scales that have been derived from laboratory test comparisons with the leading commercial testers in North America.
The user can select from one of five options: Motomco 919, Motomco 919E, Dickey-John GAC 2000 Series, Labtronics (Canada) or Industry Standard.
The accepted industry practice is for farmers to sell their grain priced according to moisture readings by their local elevator.
Unfortunately, the grain elevator's commercial tester measurements may not be the same as absolute moisture.
So the test equipment that the grain elevator uses becomes the standard, not absolute moisture.
The MOISTUREMATCH also features the unique capability to make fine-tuned adjustments to the calibration curves of each of the Commercial Tester or Industry Standard options.
Calibration adjustments to other grain testers can only be made by adding or subtracting a fixed offset to the entire calibration curve; so adjustments to low moisture can throw off calibration at high moisture and visa versa.
On the other hand, calibration adjustments to the MOISTUREMATCH only impact the moisture curve immediately surrounding the specific moisture point that is being adjusted; the rest of the curve is not affected.
This unique technology enhances the ability for the user to "match" his grain elevator's specific commercial tester more precisely.
The MOISTUREMATCH controls the testing variable of grain density by compacting the grain sample in the test cell with its pressure cap.
This reduces the air spaces between kernels and makes the sample and test cell conditions more uniform from test to test.
The MOISTUREMATCH is the first and only moisture tester with Compaction Sensor Technology (CST), which senses the optimum compaction for each grain sample and automatically adjusts to take its moisture reading at the optimum pressure.
A highly sensitive electronic load cell that is built into the test cell measures the compaction of the grain.
There is no "test" button.
The MOISTUREMATCH automatically determines when to take its reading as the cap is screwed on.
Other features include - built-in carrying strap, large graphic LCD with online user instructions, easy-on cap, and computer interface for future upgrades.
