Grain Moisture & Shrinkage Calculator

Grain Moisture & Shrinkage Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate grain weight loss, water evaporation, and handling shrinkage.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise calculations for grain drying processes. It distinguishes between physical water shrinkage and total shrinkage, which includes handling losses. Use calculate_water_shrink to find mass lost to evaporation, or calculate_total_shrink to account for both water loss and material loss during handling. You can also use compare_shrinkage_methods to quantify the impact of handling on your total yield.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_total_shrink

Calculate the total mass loss including both water evaporation and handling loss

calculate_water_shrink

Calculate the mass lost solely due to the evaporation of water

compare_shrinkage_methods

Compare the results of the physical water-only shrinkage against the total shrinkage model to quantify handling impact

get_grain_type_constants

Retrieve the specific biological constants required for shrinkage calculations for a given grain

Calculate the water loss for 1000kg of Corn starting at 25% moisture and drying to 13%.

The water removed is 250.0kg, leaving a final mass of 750.0kg, with a shrink percentage of 25.0%.

What is the total shrinkage for 500kg of Wheat from 18% to 12% moisture?

The total mass lost is 54.2kg, resulting in a final mass of 445.8kg and a total shrink percentage of 10.84%.

Compare the shrinkage methods for 2000kg of Soybeans at 15% moisture drying to 11%.

The water-only shrink is 10.53%, while the total shrink is 11.25%. The handling impact ratio is 1.07.

Water shrink is the mass lost strictly from water evaporation. Total shrink includes both that water loss and the handling loss (material lost during movement).
