Your Sinar moisture meter is an essential part of your operation—providing accurate, dependable readings that help you make the right decisions at the right time. But like any precision instrument, it needs regular care to perform at its best.
A Sinar Standard Service isn’t just a “tune-up.” It’s a complete health check, deep clean, and recalibration process designed to keep your machine accurate, compliant, and ready for the season ahead.
Here’s a detailed look at what happens when your machine arrives in our workshop:
1. Comprehensive Full Inspection
We start by carefully dismantling your meter to inspect every internal component. This includes:
RAM & battery check – The RAM battery stores your machine’s memory and calibration curves. If it fails, your meter could lose all stored data and require complete reprogramming.
Component health check – We look for early signs of corrosion, loose connections, wear, or heat damage that might cause faults later.
Casing and seals – Ensuring the external structure protects the delicate inner parts from dust and moisture.
Catching small issues early is key—what could be a minor battery replacement today might become an expensive breakdown in the middle of harvest.
2. Deep Cleaning – Inside and Out
Dust, grain particles, and moisture can build up over time and affect sensitive electronics. We carry out a thorough cleaning of:
PCB boards – Removing even microscopic dust that can cause electrical interference.
Weight balance mechanisms – Ensuring they move freely and are free from obstruction.
External housing and seals – So your machine not only works well but also looks and feels cared for.
A clean machine is a more accurate and longer-lasting machine.
3. Latest Calibration Curves (Optional Upgrade)
Latest Calibration Curves (Optional Upgrade)Calibration curves are at the heart of accurate readings. These are checked and updated using only oven-tested method samples to ensure the best accuracy.”
If your meter was new or last serviced in 2023, it’s already running older curves.
Updated curves mean better accuracy and fewer surprises when it matters most.
4. Precision Recalibration
We recalibrate your machine to factory specifications across multiple parameters:
Moisture
Temperature
Weight
Capacitance readings
This ensures every reading you take is as close as possible to true values—vital for both operational efficiency and compliance.
5. 48-Hour Performance Testing
Once serviced, your meter is tested continuously for two full days. This step confirms:
Accuracy is stable over time.
The machine performs correctly under simulated real-world conditions.
No machine leaves our workshop until it has passed these reliability checks.
6. 12-Month CertificationWe issue a 12-month calibration certificate confirming your meter meets Red Tractor standards, providing documented proof for audits, inspections, and compliance requirements. Ideal for Red Tractor and other industry audits.”
Why Annual Servicing is Essential
If your machine hasn’t been serviced since 2023 (or earlier), it’s time for an update. Regular servicing:
Keeps your readings precise and trustworthy.
Prevents expensive breakdowns during peak periods.
Extends the lifespan of your investment.
Maintains compliance with industry standards.
It’s also worth remembering:
Calibration adjusts readings.
Servicing protects your investment, prevents downtime, and ensures accuracy.
✅ Don’t wait until an inaccurate reading costs you time, money, or lost production.
