PCE-MB-100 balance for moisture content
(maximum net weight of 100g)
for determining dry and moisture content in substances in the industrial and
agricultural industries, with RS-232
interface
|
|
The PCE-MB-100 balance
for measuring moisture has been specially designed
for use in the industrial sector and in laboratories.
This balance is ideal for ensuring quality and quickly
determining and recording the moisture content of materiels and their dry weight. There are a lot of
examples in the user's manual to illustrate the full
potential of the balance. The two irradiating
halogen bulbs have a 200W capacity and guarantee an
even drying of the material's moisture.
Simply place a small sample in the
chamber, close the lid, press the button and wait
for the results. This balance can also be used to
analyse moisture content and can be used as a normal
scale to measure accurately in milligrammes.
Here is an overview of our
balances
for measuring moisture content.

|
The drying process / the
determination of dry weight can be done in these
ways:
- Automatic
Dry until a constant weight is obtained
- Semi-automatic
After drying, when the weight is lost,
the
nominal value increases for each unit of time
- Manual
According to the time setting
The balance includes:
- RS-232 interface to transfer data (dry weight,
weight lost, humidity, ATRO, residual weight)
to a
computer
- External calibration function
- 240V mains adaptor
The image shows the balance open to
allow test material to be placed inside. Next, the
lid is closed, the "start" button is pressed
and the process begins to dry the
matrerial to determine its moisture content.

Test material |
 |
With this
balance, it is possible to accuratly study the
humidity content of a wide range of materials, such
as plastic granules, pellets, wood pellets, fibres,
tobacco, spices or cereal. Depending on the humidity
content, the drying process can be completed in just
minutes (the remains are
residual water and dust). |

Contents
PCE-MB-100 humidity balance, mains
adaptor, 10 test plates and manual |
|
Optional accessories |
|
-
Software
The software pack comes with an
RS-232 cable allows for data to be transferred to a
computer to store and analyse the data.
This data can also be exported to other programmes such
as Excel. |
 |
|
-
RS-232
to USB adaptor
The software pack normally
comes with an RS-232.
If the data must be transferred from the
balance to a portable that only has a USB port, an
adpator can be ordered to make this connection possible. |
 |
|
-
Thermal printer
To print results when they have
been obtained, allowing for documentation to send to a
supplier to indicate the quantitiy of material recieved.
The printer comes with an RS-232
cable and a 240V mains adaptor. It uses 112mm wide paper
that can be order from us. |
 |
|
-
Replacement aluminium test plates
The plates allows for the
sample to be spread correctly to reflect the heat to
penetrate evenly across the plate. They can be cleaned
and re-used, depending on the material being tested.
They can also be used as laboratory plates. |
 |
|
-
Round fibreglass filters
100 round fibreglass filters for use with
materials that might spatter or become encrusted.
The filters have a constant weight and are resistant to
oscillations caused by air humidity.
They have also been designed to
be resistant to high temperatures. |
