Adam Equipment, a leading manufacturer of weighing equipment for professionals worldwide, has expanded its line of PMB moisture analysers. The new model will be available in the United Kingdom, Europe, North and Latin America, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

With simple operation and quick response time, Adam Equipment’s new PMB 163 offers a capacity of 160g and readability of 0.01% / 0.001g. The PMB 163 joins the PMB 53, which has a capacity of 50g and provides results at 0.01% / 0.001g, and the PMB 202, which offers a capacity of 200g and provides results at 0.05% / 0.01g.

Moisture analysers allow scientists, researchers and technicians to rapidly dry samples, saving testing time in the laboratory and the field. Moisture analysis is used in a wide variety of industries. PMB moisture analysers are excellent for use in food processing and quality control, providing an easy way to verify the moisture content in foods, and helping production workers assess contents of mixtures and batches. In winemaking, moisture analysis helps vintners maximise their grape harvest by providing crucial information about when to re-press the grapes.

The PMB's automatic test-setting function enables easy recall for frequent testing of the same items without additional user programming. USB and RS-232 interfaces provide speedy connectivity, while a second USB port allows storage of test programs and data on a flash drive. PMB moisture analysers are self-contained, needing neither additional software nor a network connection for readings. Users can collect data on a production floor or anywhere power is available.

A 400-watt halogen bulb heats samples in 1 °C selectable increments. Three heating options allow test methods and temperatures to be customised for different materials.

The PMB offers rugged metal housing, automatic external calibration, capacity tracker and a levelling bubble. A pan lifter is included to easily remove samples. With rapid response time and intuitive features, the PMB moisture analyser is ideal for a range of applications.
