Fast and Reliable Moisture Measurement for Quality Control Applications
The Ray-Ran MB23 and MB25 Basic Moisture Analysers provide a simple, accurate and cost-effective solution for determining moisture content across a wide range of materials and industries.
Combining durable ABS construction with a compact laboratory-friendly design, these moisture analysers deliver dependable results for routine quality control, research and production testing applications.
Suitable for industries including textiles, wastewater, ceramics, food, plastics, polymers and general materials testing, the MB23 and MB25 offer fast moisture determination using advanced heating technology and easy-to-use controls.
Accurate Moisture Analysis Made Simple
The MB23 and MB25 are designed for straightforward operation, allowing users of all experience levels to quickly perform moisture testing.
Simply set the required temperature and drying method, add the sample and begin testing. At the completion of the test, results are displayed clearly on the backlit LCD screen as:
- % Moisture
- % Solids
- Sample weight (g)
- Temperature
- Drying time
Results can also be transferred to an optional thermal printer via the integrated RS232 interface for documentation and quality records.
Infrared and Halogen Heating Options
The MB23 and MB25 provide reliable moisture analysis using different heating technologies:
Ray-Ran MB23 Moisture Analyser
The MB23 uses infrared heating technology and provides accurate moisture measurement with:
- Readability: 0.01 g / 0.1%
- Repeatability: 0.3% for 3 g samples
- Repeatability: 0.2% for 10 g samples
Ray-Ran MB25 Moisture Analyser
The MB25 uses halogen heating technology for improved precision and faster drying performance:
- Readability: 0.005 g / 0.05%
- Repeatability: 0.2% for 3 g samples
- Repeatability: 0.05% for 10 g samples
Both models provide temperature control from 50°C to 160°C, making them suitable for a wide range of moisture testing applications.
Compact Design for Laboratory and Production Environments
With a footprint of only 170 × 280 × 130 mm, the MB23 and MB25 are designed to save valuable bench space while providing reliable laboratory performance.
The easy-clean heating chamber supports efficient maintenance, while the 90 mm sample pan and 110 g weighing capacity provide flexibility for routine testing requirements.
Flexible Testing Functions
The moisture analysers include:
- Manual drying mode
- Automatic drying mode
- Timed drying mode
- Adjustable temperature settings
