The Wile 66 Grain Moisture Meter used for whole and ground grain

Wile 66 is designed to meet the most demanding needs of professionals in crop growing. The Wile 66 comes complete with a sample grinder and calibration tools.

Wile 66 is the only moisture tester on the market that can measure both whole and ground grain. The Wile 66 has the same basic features as the Wile 65. In addition it can measure ground grain. Grinding makes the sample homogeneous and makes the measurement more accurate especially with grain that has a thick outer layer or the quality of the grain differs from a normal season. The scale for whole grain can be adjusted /corrected by using the results from ground grain as a reference. This makes measurement handy as you get a very accurate reading, also with whole grain.

The quality of grain affects the measurement

The measurement technology of the Wile grain moisture meters has been proven in many tests worldwide to be one of the most precise on the market.

The measurement accuracy does not only depend on the testing device itself. A major influence in the result comes from the grain sample and its quality. If for example the grain is abnormal due to a very dry or wet season, systematic errors in the results can occur.

Grinding the sample gives higher accuracy

Grinding the grain makes the sample uniform. Therefore a higher level of accuracy in the result can be achieved, especially in grain that has a large content of husk: for example barley and oats.

The errors that can occur in the measurement of grain, which is of abnormal quality, can be avoided by adjusting the scale of the whole grain using the results from measuring the ground samples. This means that after the adjustment the moisture content can be determined extremely accurately and quickly from whole grain. Due to this, the accuracy level has improved significantly in abnormal grain qualities and the accuracy level is within tenths of a percent moisture from the oven test.
