OT-300

The OT-300 Harvest Monitor assists in determining the optimum time to harvest Rice. From the day Rice sprouts, it is necessary to measure the Rice Paddy’s ripening. When the cumulative temperature reaches 1,000 °C, the Paddy is at its peak for harvesting. There is a real danger, however, of harvesting too early or too late. Harvesting at the appropriate time guarantees the best yield and quality. With the OT-300, simply set the Rice Paddy yield just once and it will automatically measure the cumulative temperature and display the optimum time to harvest.

Applications: Integrated field temperature
Measurement method: Thermostat temperature detection
Product type: Inspection instruments
Display: Digital (LCD)

Power supply: 9 V (Alkaline battery)
Dimensions: 60 (W) x 45 (D) x 105 (H) mm
Weight: 0.15 kg

Rice, Whiteness

C-600

C-600

This instrument is designed to measure the whiteness of rice. Rice whiteness directly correlates with the amount of milling. Therefore, you can use this device to indirectly measure the milling percentage of a rice sample (glutinous and non-glutinous). To make a test, simply insert sample case containing rice. Both the number of measurements and the whiteness value will be immediately displayed. The vacuum fluorescent display has excellent visibility, making it easy for anyone to see the measurement. By using the supplied sample cup and “fixed quantity” shooter, a constant sample a mount is tested, substantially reducing measurement variation.

Moisture testers, Rice

AN-900

AN-900

The AN-900 Near Infrared Component Analyzer is capable of measuring Moisture Content, Protein and Amylose, in Short & Long Brown Rice and Milled Rice. Constituents are calculated based on the transmittance of the light. Preparation of samples, such as husking and grinding etc., are not necessary with the AN-900. Measurements are started by simply loading a sample into the sample case. This allows quick, simple and non-destructive constituent analysis. Compared to the infrared reflectivity measurement method, the Near-Infrared Transmittance method employed by the AN-900 is relatively little affected by the shape or color of the sample and thus excellent measurement characteristics are produced. 

Applications: Brown Rice (Short & Long)/Milled Rice (Short & Long)
Measured components: Protein, Moisture Content, Amylose
Measurement method: Near infrared penetration method (720 – 1100 nm)
Product downloads: AN-900 brochure, AN-900 manual
Measurement range: Moisture Content 10-20%, Protein 4-12%, Amylose 10-40%

Sample volume: Approx. 60 ml
Operating environment: 5-40 °C, max 85% RH
External communications: RS-232C interface
Options: Printer (VZ-330)
Power supply: 100-120 V AC/220-240 V AC (50/60 Hz)
Dimensions: 390 (W) x 295 (D) x 186 (H) mm
Weight: 9.0 kg

Moisture testers, NIR composition, Rice

AN-820

AN-820

The component analyzer AN-820 is able to measure components such as moisture, protein, and amylose (reference value) contained in brown and polished rice, without the need for preparations such as pulverizing the sample. It can also display a “quality rating value”. This tester displays the component quality of rice, and we believe it is the optimal measuring device for quality control for rice producers, rice processers and wholesalers to scientifically manage the taste of rice.

Applications: Brown Rice, Polished rice
Measured components: Moisture, Protein, Amylose (reference value)
Measurement method: Penetrating-type near infrared spectroscopy
Product downloads: AN-820 manual
Product type: NIR composition and moisture meters
