A: A rapid moisture analyzer determines the moisture content of a sample using the thermogravimetric method and consists of a weighing unit, a heating unit and an intelligent system. It is also commonly called a moisture balance or moisture analyzer.

A: The heating system of a rapid halogen moisture analyzer consists of a heating source (halogen lamp or metal rod), a regulating device, a sample pan, etc. All of the above heating sources are infrared radiators, which means a rapid moisture analyzer heats the sample through infrared radiation.

A: This is a common misconception. Everything that evaporates upon heating is referred to as moisture. Water may be part of it, but other substances may also evaporate, such as alcohol or solvents.

A: We recommend the VM-E01 and VM-E01A rapid moisture analyzers. They feature a high-performance weighing unit with a moisture content readability of 0.001%, ensuring the best moisture determination results even for substances with very low moisture content.

A: A rapid moisture analyzer operates on the loss-on-drying principle and consists of three components: a weighing unit, a heating unit and a control system. To determine moisture content, the initial weight of the sample is first recorded; the halogen lamp or other infrared radiator then heats and dries the sample while the built-in balance continuously records the sample weight. When the sample stops losing weight, the instrument switches off and calculates the moisture content. The total weight loss is used to calculate the moisture content.

Our Rapid Moisture Analyzers Meet the Needs of Quality Control, Production and In-Line Control:

A: Laboratory and production workers usually need an instrument that is intuitive and guides the operator through each process. This ensures users follow the correct procedures and prevents operating errors. The instruments offer many very useful features: graphical user guidance, method shortcuts, user management and selectable languages, plus a comprehensive documentation package for your reference at any time.

A: The most important factor affecting performance is precise and fast temperature regulation, and halogen lamps are the ideal choice because their low mass ensures fast response. Repeatable results are ensured from the very first measurement (some other heating sources either deliver different results on the first measurement or require a time- and resource-consuming warm-up). In addition, uniform heat distribution over the sample surface is critical for repeatable and reliable results. We recommend requesting a demonstration from us or other manufacturers to experience the performance first-hand.
