Measure material moisture with the automatic system for determining the water content
The measurement of a wide variety of materials is greatly simplified by Schaller's intelligent software solution. The LabDry system provides an exact calculation of the water content according to the gravimetric Darr method. Only this measuring method for moisture determination is currently recognized as a standard (DIN 52183 resp. DIN EN 13183), it is therefore an important basis both in legal and business terms. The Darr method is also the basis for the calibration standard for measuring wood moisture.
The software solution helps to avoid application errors (e.g. calculation errors, transcription errors, data loss, etc.). It thus increases data security, and the possibility of exporting the data to Excel makes further processing of the measurement results easy.
Handling and measuring procedure
Fill your material into the supplied aluminum trays marked with a barcode and take the samples with the analytical balance and the barcode scanner into your system. Now you can measure the moisture of the material by drying it in the drying cabinet depending on the product group (standard for laboratory moisture analysis). After the specified drying time, the sample is again registered in your system via the analytical balance and the barcode scanner and the material moisture is automatically calculated and output.
The software allows that the individual measurements can be linked with additional information (supplier, delivery bill number, batch number, etc.). The scope of application can be extended via an export in Excel format, the data can be further processed with other software packages.
With the LabDry material moisture measurement system you can perform an automatic moisture determination laboratory in your laboratory precisely, quickly and accurately
Scales and drying cabinet also required.
