KERN & SOHN DLB 160-3A DLB Moisture Analyzer, 160 g Capacity, 0.001 g Readability, LCD Graphic; LCD Graphic Display, RS-232

KERN & SOHN DLB 160-3A Moisture Analyzer — 160 g Capacity, 0.01% Moisture Readability

Quality control chemists and production technicians who need fast, reproducible moisture results can rely on the KERN & SOHN DLB 160-3A Moisture Analyzer. The KERN & SOHN DLB 160-3A Moisture Analyzer uses a halogen heating element capable of reaching programmable temperature range, delivering rapid-drying performance on a wide range of sample chemistries with 0.001 g weight readability and 0.01% moisture readability. Built on a cast-aluminium and plastic housing with an integrated LCD graphic; LCD Graphic display, it blends laboratory precision with the durability needed for daily QC workflows.

Key Features

• Halogen heating element (400 W): Delivers rapid, uniform heat across the 100 mm sample surface, reducing drying time without compromising moisture accuracy.
• Programmable drying temperature (programmable temperature range): Select the exact temperature in 1 °C increments to match the thermal sensitivity of each sample, from delicate organic materials to heat-hardy polymers.
• Graphic LCD; LCD Graphic with backlight: Large, easy-to-read digits show moisture %, dry content, weight and temperature simultaneously, reducing the need to navigate menus during active drying.
• Temperature calibration points (80 °C; 150 °C): Two calibration reference points keep the heater traceable to certified standards for ISO-compliant moisture methods.
• RS-232 interface: Transmits weight and moisture results to printers, PCs and LIMS in formats compatible with GLP documentation requirements.
• Integrated level indicator and adjustable feet: Spirit-level bubble and four adjustable levelling feet confirm that the balance is perfectly horizontal before each test, reducing zero-point errors.
• Standby mode: Automatic power saving extends instrument life and reduces energy draw between test batches.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN DLB 160-3A Moisture Analyzer is built around a halogen heater rated at 400 W, a aluminium sample plates weighing surface (100 mm diameter), and a plastic housing. With 160 g maximum capacity, 0.001 g weight readability and 0.01% moisture readability, it resolves even small moisture differences in grain, powder, plastic and pharmaceutical samples.
