BROWN-DUVEL MOISTURE TESTER

The Brown-Duvel Moisture Tester, manufactured by Seedburo, uses the distillation principal to determine moisture in grains in approximately 20-30 minutes. It was originally developed by the USDA and has been calibrated against the official air oven method.

Mineral grade oil is mixed with approximately 100 grams of grain and the moisture is "cooked" off by heating the oil.  The moisture is collected in a graduated cylinder and the moisture level is read from the cylinder. The Brown-Duvel is ideal for use with high moisture or frozen grains. The Brown-Duvel is made of stainless steel and comes complete with all necessary accessories, with the exception of the contact thermometer which must be ordered separately. Dimensions for a single compartment unit assembled are: 6" L x 13" W x 22 ½" H. 110V, 60Hz, 1Phase. Ship wt. 14 lbs.

The Brown-Duvel Moisture Testers are no longer manufactured, though Seedburo continues to carry the accessories for this product as follows:
