A moisture balance, also called a moisture analyzer, measures the amount of moisture in a substance. This is particularly helpful in food processing labs as the amount of moisture can be an indicator of freshness and quality for some foods. These analyzers are also commonly used in environmental, pharmaceutical, and materials science labs. There are several techniques that may be used to measure moisture. Some techniques used include measuring water vapor released following combustion of the sample, measuring the difference in weight after removal of moisture from the sample, and measuring the equilibrium of water vapor of the sample in a closed system. Some things to take into consideration when purchasing a moisture balance include capacity, precision, speed, method of measurement, software, and whether the samples to be measured come in solid or liquid form.

| Description | The benchtop scale PCE-MA 100 allows different materials to be weighed and their moisture contents determined. The heating chamber is heated by halogen lamps up to 199 °C. In this chamber, the benchtop scale dries the material to be weighed, and then calculates the moisture content from the The benchtop scale PCE-MA 100 allows different materials to be weighed and their moisture contents determined. The heating chamber is heated by halogen lamps up to 199 °C. In this chamber, the benchtop scale dries the material to be weighed, and then calculates the moisture content from the weight difference. The benchtop scale can determine the smallest weight differences thanks to a readability of 0.001 g. The results are displayed on the large LCD display. Up to 15 different drying programs can be stored in the memory of the benchtop scale. Accordingly, the benchtop scale is suitable for quality control of wood products, granules, pellets, feed, food, pastes and more. With the included 100 g weight, the benchtop scale can be calibrated at any time....

Our Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer is a precise device for determining moisture in Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer up to max. 95 cm³ sample volume / weighing range 220 g / adjustable heating temperature / GLP-compliant printout of all data / 4-digit device ID / software (optional)
Our Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer is a precise device for determining moisture in liquid and solid materials. The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer is suitable for various applications in raw material extraction, production, processing, research and recycling. With a maximum sample weight of 220 g and a high measuring resolution of 0.001 g, the Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer enables precise moisture measurement.
The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer works on the principle of drying with simultaneous weighing. During drying, the weight loss is continuously recorded and displayed as a percentage of the total mass. With a heater output of 250 W and an adjustable heating temperature of 40 °C to 180 °C, the Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer ensures quick and flexible drying of the samples. For measurement evaluation, the device offers various parameters such as % moisture, % dry matter, % moisture bd as well as g residual weight / kg and residual weight, which enable the sample to be analysed.
The functions include an automatic power-off function that stops the drying process when a constant weight is reached. The automatic power-off can be set to three criteria: start of sampling, sampling interval and weight loss per sampling interval. This allows a high degree of flexibility in controlling the drying process. There is also a timer that can be set from 1 to 180 minutes. Our appliance is also equipped with a menu lock that prevents accidental adjustment of the parameters. The menu can be locked using a PIN whereas the CAL menu item remains available. The balance also has a programme memory with up to 9 memory locations to store and quickly call up different drying profiles.
The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer offers GLP-compliant output of all data via the Data Bridge software. Intermediate values can be printed at individually adjustable intervals, if required. In addition, all data is transferred via the serial RS-232 interface and USB. The printer can be deactivated if required. Data can be transferred to a PC via software which must be purchased separately. The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer also has a 4-digit device ID for unique identification of the device, which enables precise allocation of the measurement data.
The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer is suitable for moisture analysis in many industries, such as food and beverages (e.g. coffee, flour), pet food, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, dairy processing, meat processing, wood industry, textile processing, recycling and sewage treatment plants. The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer provides reliable measurements for a wide range of temperature-insensitive materials....
