Koster Moisture Tester Deluxe

Overview

Take total control of your feed quality and inventory management with the Koster Moisture Tester Deluxe Bundle. Designed to provide quick, reliable answers when assessing wet or dry materials, this all-in-one testing kit eliminates guesswork by accurately measuring both moisture and dry matter content. It is highly versatile and engineered for an array of materials including silage, forage, corn, grain, wheat, soybeans, wood, mushrooms, and leather.

Crucially for dairy and livestock operations, this system allows you to precisely monitor and control dry matter intake in Total Mixed Rations (TMRs). In just 30 minutes, you can verify exact moisture levels to optimize feed efficiency, protect your crops from mold growth, minimize nutrient loss from bunker weepage, and prevent catastrophic spontaneous combustion in forage stored between 30% and 40% moisture.

What’s in the Box

• Koster Heater (110V): A highly efficient heating unit featuring a durable black powder-coated finish, designed to run seamlessly on standard 110-volt power for fast, uniform drying. (Note if you would like an high-visibility LED push-button on/off switch for seamless operation order the platinum model) 
• Koster Digital Scale: Engineered for high-accuracy weight measurement of your samples. This updated model features dual-power versatility—operating on standard battery power or via USB power (charging cable included).
• Koster Specimen Container: A dedicated, durable vessel designed to securely hold your sample material and ensure optimal airflow during the testing process.
• Fosmon Timer: A simple, reliable countdown timer used to track exact test durations for consistent and repeatable results.

Key Performance Specifications

• Measurement Range: 0% to 85% moisture content
• Precision Accuracy: Down to 0.1%
• Testing Time: Complete assessment in just 30 minutes
• Power Requirement: Standard 110-volt outlet for the heating unit

Applications

• TMR & Feed Management: Regularly measure dry matter content to adjust rations accurately, ensuring livestock receive the exact nutritional balance required for optimal growth and production.
• Ensiling & Fermentation: Verify that forage and silage moisture sits within the precise window required for proper crop fermentation and to prevent valuable nutrient run-off.
• Harvesting & Hay Storage: Target perfect moisture levels to prevent heavy leaf drop-off during hay production and protect stored commodities from spoilage or heating.
