An ash content analyzer, often also referred to as an ashing device, is a laboratory device used to determine the ash content in organic samples such as food, animal feed, coal, minerals or other materials. The ash content is the residue that remains when a sample is combusted and the organic components are completely oxidized. This residue consists mainly of mineral components contained in the sample, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon and other metals or non-metals.
Air Flow Meters are basically mass flow meters, as they determine the air velocity and air pressure by measuring the mass flow of a medium, which is air in this case.
Determining the ash content usually involves incinerating the sample at high temperatures in a muffle furnace. The ash content analyzer is set to temperatures between 500°C and 900°C, depending on the type of sample and the desired analysis. The sample is placed in a special dish and heated in the device until all organic components have been oxidized and combusted. The remaining residue, the ash, is then weighed to calculate the ash content. This value is given as a percentage of the original sample weight. An ash content analyzer is an essential tool for ensuring that products meet the required standards and specifications.

content in samples. It is suitable for applications in raw material extraction, production, processing, storage, trade, research and recycling. With a maximum sample weight of 200 g and a high resolution of 0.001 g, the Ash Content Analyzer / Incinerator enables exact measurements of the moisture content and the ash residue.
