Moisture analysis plays a vital role in the processing and handling phases of production for multiple industries. Strict moisture content standards are enforced upon companies that distribute goods like pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and food to ensure product stability and proper shelf life.
Thanks to moisture analyzers, companies can make sure these moisture content requirements are met each time. However, while it may be tempting to go out and buy the newest, most expensive model equipped with all the bells and whistles, it may not be the most efficient or cost-effective choice. Not all moisture balance analyzers are made equal, and different industries will require their own set of readout, repeatability, temperature range and other specifications for maximum throughput.
Each standard moisture balance is made up of a mounted heater, precision balance, control panel and display. However, other units may also have additional components and features that you can use for your application such as pan holders, sample pans, fiberglass filters, memory functionalities, and a connectivity interface.Moisture balances can come mounted with either of the following drying technology types: infrared radiation, halogen radiator, oven drying, and microwave drying. Halogen and
infrared heaters are the most commonly used heaters, with Halogen being the fastest of the two.
Our straight halogen lamp and uniquely designed SRA (Secondary Radiation Assist) filter gives shorter measurement time, thanks to fast and uniform heating. The ergonomically designed pan handle eliminates mishaps such as burns when moving a hot sample tray into or out of the unit from either side.
