The effects on corn breakage susceptibility of several modifications of a model CK2 Stein breakage tester were studied. Modifications consisted of an improved impeller assembly; thicker, longer, and harder blades; and a stainless steel cup. These were incorporated into the model CK2-M Stein breakage tester currently in production. Use of the modified instrument doubled the breakage of breakage-prone corn and lessened the time required to determine the percentage of breakage.
