Kern's moisture analysers provide fast results for moisture content, percent solids and dry weight analysis of a range of products and materials.
Most models contain halogen quartz glass heaters which provide continuous even drying.
The MLS 50-3IR160 uses infrared heating technology.
Although this is slower than halogen heating it reduces the need for replacing halogen bulbs and prevents the overshooting of the set temperature.
Kern offers three types of moisture analysers: the MLB, MLS and MRS.
The MLB is the most basic model.
Its LED screen displays temperature, drying per cent and drying time.
The shutdown criteria can be set to automatic - if the results do not alter during three strobe intervals.
Strobe intervals can be set from 1-59 seconds or manually set according to a required time.
The MLB 50-3 heats from 50C - 160C in 1C stages.
The MLS has four heating profiles: preheating, standard heating, gradual drying and stage drying.
It has a memory that can hold up to 99 drying processes.
The MLS 50-3HA160 offers rapid halogen heating from 50C -160C.
The MLS 50-3HA250 offers rapid halogen heating from 50C - 250C.
The MLS 50-3IR160 offers infrared heating for sensitive samples from 50C -160C.
The MRS has an extended weighing range up to 124g.
It is used as a means of determining the moisture content in powders and liquids by the thermo-gravimetric principle.
The MRS 120-3 uses a halogen quartz heater for 30C - 230C.
Throughout the analysis the balance displays the current status in accordance with the chosen parameters, keeping the operator up to date on each stage of the process.
The analysis automatically terminates either when the drying is complete and the dry weight is stable, or after a fixed time specified by the operator.
