Smart Microwave Moisture Analyzer: A New “Rapid, Accurate, and Reliable” Tool for Wheat Moisture Detection

The moisture content of wheat directly affects its quality and storage conditions. Excessive moisture can easily lead to issues such as mildew, germination, and pest infestations, reducing wheat quality and impacting processing and consumption. Conversely, insufficient moisture can cause wheat to break easily, affecting both processing and storage. Therefore, strict control of wheat moisture content is crucial for ensuring its quality and extending its storage period.

With its non-contact and rapid-response characteristics, the Smart Microwave Moisture Analyzer is becoming a core technology for moisture management in the wheat industry, optimizing quality control across the entire chain—from field procurement to processing, storage, and transportation.
 
Principles and Advantages of Detection Technology
 
The microwave moisture analyzer employs high-frequency microwave transmission through the material being tested. Based on the relationship between the product's moisture content and the degree of microwave absorption by water, it accurately assesses the moisture content of the material in the tested area. The instrument features a built-in display, and its industrial control touchscreen clearly shows the instrument status and test results, allowing for easy parameter adjustments via the touch interface. Upon completion of the test, results are automatically uploaded via USB or Ethernet port, and labels are printed automatically. These labels can then be affixed to the tested material, completing the measurement process.

Compared to the traditional oven-drying method, the intelligent microwave moisture analyzer demonstrates significant advantages in wheat detection:

• High Precision
The device employs wideband high-precision radar to achieve highly accurate measurement of the comprehensive moisture content inside the sample.

• Rapid and Non‑Destructive Testing
It enables real‑time, non‑destructive moisture analysis of grains, with fast detection speed (within 1 minute), high accuracy, low sensitivity to grain origin, and a wide dynamic range.

• Real‑Time Microwave Response
The microwave field responds rapidly, providing real‑time feedback of measurement results.

• Temperature Compensation
Equipped with a high‑precision temperature sensor for real‑time temperature compensation, making it suitable for different temperature environments.

• Wide Applicability
Widely applicable to moisture content measurement in various materials. Detection accuracy is not affected by ambient temperature, dust, light, or material color.

Core Application Scenarios of Wheat Moisture Detection

The Intelligent Microwave Moisture Analyzer covers key stages of the wheat industry chain, with specific applications including:

Pre‑warehouse Quality Management: Wheat with moisture content exceeding 15% is prone to mildew. The microwave moisture analyzer provides second‑level moisture data to ensure wheat meets the safe storage standard (12%‑14%).

Storage and Ventilation Optimization: In silos or warehouses, the microwave moisture analyzer monitors changes in the moisture content of stored wheat, preventing pest infestation or sprouting caused by moisture regain and extending shelf life.

Quality Control During Transportation: At ports or during transit, the microwave moisture analyzer safeguards wheat quality by ensuring moisture content remains ≤14% through continuous monitoring.
