Perten AM 5300 vs DICKEY-john GAC 2700: Precision, Calibration and Service Support

Choosing the Right Grain Moisture Meter for Long-Term Confidence

For grain merchants, laboratories, feed manufacturers, millers and grain storage operations, a moisture meter is far more than a piece of testing equipment.

The results produced by a moisture analyser can influence drying decisions, grain acceptance, storage conditions, quality control and ultimately the commercial value of a load. That makes accuracy, repeatability, calibration control and dependable technical support just as important as the speed of the measurement itself.

Two established instruments in this market are the Perten Aquamatic AM 5300 and the DICKEY-john GAC 2700.

Both are designed to provide rapid measurement of grain moisture and test weight, using advanced high-frequency technology and automated sample handling. However, there are some important differences in their approach to instrument design, calibration and ongoing support.
