A moisture analyser is an electronic balance with a built-in heating chamber to dry the product. The before (wet) and after (dry) weights are then used to provide an accurate moisture percentage reading. Moisture analysers are suitable for determining moisture in many products including food products, grain, straw and hay, wood products, plastics & wastewater. A basic moisture analyser, such as the Ohaus MB25 is suitable for products with an expected moisture content of 5% to 95% with an accuracy requirement of +/- 0.1%. The A&D MS70 moisture analyser is our recommendation for moisture determination of plastics or similar materials with a very low moisture content because it is capable of accurately measuring the small weight change in the before and after weights

Crane scales, otherwise known as hanging weighing scales, suspended scales, loadlinks or overhead weighing scales. The weighing device is shackled to an existing overhead lifting device such as a crane in order to raise an item during the weighing process and the load is attached by the use of chains or lifting straps to the safety hook or shackle on the crane scale. In general the crane scale weight display is either bright LED or backlit liquid crystal and can usually be seen at some distance and some have the option to hold the peak weight on the display or change the weighing units from Kg to Tonnes, KgForce, Newtons and Pounds. There may be a safety requirement to be far away from a suspended item or a need to electronically capture or print weight details so there are models that can wirelessly transmit weight data to a hand held or desk mounted display, printer or pc.
