Universal Moisture Analyzer:
Brabender MT-CA
- Meets grain, flour, and tobacco testing standards
- Globally proven method for moisture meter calibration
- Simultaneous measurement of 10 samples saves time
- Precise moisture analysis for various powders and solids
- MetaBridge software for data access at MT-CA or mobile device
The MT-CA moisture analyzer, using automated oven drying, measures raw material moisture in a measuring range of >0.1 and up to 99.9 % moisture content. It reduces test times by 65 % and avoids weighing errors by eliminating the cooling step in the desiccator and automatic back-weighing after drying. It’s the perfect choice for moisture determination of powders like flour, tobacco, and solid items with predefined methods that meet international standards. The MetaBridge software connects devices, lets you select drying times, enables real-time data sharing, and monitors tests. The MT-CA moisture meter is your ticket to precise determination of drying curves confirming actual moisture content.
Key features
The industry standard
The MT-CA serves as the reference method for calibrating other moisture meters, making it the industry standard. It adheres to essential national and international standards for moisture testing in various raw materials like flour (ICC, ISO) and tobacco (EC Regulation). This guarantees confidence in material quality throughout the entire supply chain.
- Optimizes value chain, maximizes speed, and reduces costs
- Ensures uniform material quality across sectors
- Eliminates time and costs related to multiple calibrations
MetaBridge: Optimized quality control
MetaBridge, the instrument’s cutting-edge software, makes it easy to adhere to standards and ensures real-time material quality control. The user-friendly browser-based platform delivers unmatched precision and compliance. And its smart workflow automates moisture content transfer to other devices.
- Easy instrument connection, centralized data
- Secure monitoring of measurements from anywhere
- Streamlined data exchange, enhanced productivity
Enhanced efficiency, unparalleled precision
Say goodbye to cumbersome procedures. Our advanced system streamlines workflows and cuts down measurement times by two hours, a feat unmatched by conventional methods. Eliminating the need for manual cooling in the exsiccator, it automates the process, ensuring seamless operation. Additionally, the device's ability to process 10 samples at once means you can add or collect samples while others are in progress, maximizing efficiency and flexibility.
- Maximizes material and resource efficiency
- Ensures accurate results
- Accommodates diverse sample types
Ready-to-use methods for limitless applications
Our MetaBridge software lets you assess moisture content in a wide array of materials, from powdery substances like flour and coffee to fibrous materials such as tobacco, and even solid items like pasta. The software boasts an assortment of predefined methods based on historical data, covering drying durations, sample quantities, and temperatures. Furthermore, you can easily integrate custom parameters for non-standard materials and accurately pinpoint drying times for unknown materials.
