Moisture Determination
Moisture is an important measuring value for the characterization of both food and non-food materials. The moisture determination of a sample material is an important step in sample preparation. For this purpose, Brabender® offers the fully automatic Moisture Tester MT-C.
NEW-Brabender® Moisture Tester MT-C
Individual and serial determination of the water and solvent content ...quick, reliable, direct, reproduciblemost
The fully automatic MT-C is the state-of-the-art version of the proven drying oven principle. Simple, menu-controlled operation via a touch-panel PC, short measuring times, and reliable and reproducible results meet all demands of modern laboratories and production control.
As the drying oven method is a reference method, there are no problems with calibration.
Up to 10 samples can be dried simultaneously in the drying chamber. Time saving - due to the continuous air flow within the drying chamber, the drying process takes considerably less time than in a conventional drying oven without ventilation.
The special construction of the electronic high-precision balance permits direct weighing of the sample both, outside the drying chamber when wrighing out and when back-weighing within the drying chamber immediately after drying, while the samples are still hot. The fully automatic MT-C offers great operating comfort and saves time by:
- automatic positioning of turntable when inserting the samples
- fully automatic back-weighing after drying
The advantages of this construction are evident:
- no weighing errors
- no time-consuming cooling of the samples in an exsiccator before weighing
- minimization of operator faults
- high precision and reproducibility with an accuracy of < 0.1 % up to 100 % moisture
Documentation of the drying tests is made easy through connection of a printer to the parallel interface or with a special software via data transfer to a PC.
