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.... Read More | PCE-MA 110 is an analytical balance or halogen moisture analyzer that functions on the gravimetric or loss on drying (LOD) principle.

The moisture analyzer uses the halogen method to dry the material sample. Moisture content is calculated based on the weight difference before and after the drying procedure. The moisture analyzer's halogen-heated drying chamber is suitable for the testing and analysis of samples of materials such as wood, pellets, biomass, granules, feed, food products and pastes.
Thanks to an impressive resolution or readability of 0.01 g / 10 mg, the moisture analyzer can determine the smallest weight differences. The moisture analyzer also covers the full moisture content range, from 0 ... 100%, with a moisture content resolution or readability of 0.1%. Measurement values are displayed clearly on the large, easy-to-read LCD screen.
The moisture analyzer features an adjustable drying time (1 ... 99 minutes) and an adjustable drying temperature (+40 ... +199 °C). Up to 16 different drying profiles or programs can be stored to the memory of the moisture analyzer, ensuring a controlled, repeatable testing process for accurate results time after time. Calibration of the moisture analyzer can be performed at any time using the automatic calibration function and the included 100 g weight.
... Read More | Our portable Material Tester was developed to determine the moisture content of 25 different types of seed quickly, easily and precisely. The measuring range is typically between 3% and 80% moisture, depending on the type of grain, with a resolution of 0.1% and an accuracy of ±0.5%. The Our portable Material Tester was developed to determine the moisture content of 25 different types of seed quickly, easily and precisely. The measuring range is typically between 3% and 80% moisture, depending on the type of grain, with a resolution of 0.1% and an accuracy of ±0.5%. The required sample quantity is approx. 90 ml, which allows quick and uncomplicated use directly on site. The Material Tester works on a capacitive basis and utilizes the compression of the sample caused by filling and sealing to increase the measuring accuracy.
The device has an alarm function for individually adjustable upper and lower limits, a display of minimum and maximum values and a function for calculating the average value. It also offers a data storage function for up to 240 measured values, a user-friendly keypad and automatic temperature compensation.
Thanks to the described compression, the Material Tester provides reliable measured values for checking storage and processing maturity. The grain moisture analyzer is suitable for professional applications where accurate moisture determination of grain is required....
