The benchtop scale enables accurate and simple moisture determination in a wide range of materials. The sample is automatically weighed, dried and the weight loss is displayed as moisture content. This measuring principle does not require any time-consuming curve generation and is immediately ready for use shortly after installation.

For the weighing task, the benchtop scale has an electromagnetic load cell installed which registers the weight loss with a measuring resolution of 0.1 mg = 0.0001 g. For the drying of the sample, a moisture analyzer is installed in the sample chamber. For drying the sample a 400 Watt halogen round lamp is used in the lid to ensure an even heat distribution.

In order not to burn the sample, the user can access the digital balance's internal product database or set the drying temperature between 35 °C and 160 °C in 1 °C steps, product specific. The product database has preset drying parameters that can be easily expanded and changed by the user.
