Product information "Kern DLB 60-4A moisture analyser, 60 g / 0.0001 g, halogen lamp up to 160 °C"
The Kern DLB 60-4A moisture analyser dries samples using a halogen quartz glass heater (400 W) and measures samples up to 60 g to an accuracy of 0.0001 g (0.1 mg). The temperature can be set from 35 °C to 160 °C in 1 °C increments. According to the Kern data sheet, it is particularly suitable for plastic granules. It is operated via a backlit graphic LCD with six direct-access keys.
Six keys for the main functions
The direct keys access the main menu, start the drying process, set the drying temperature, select the switch-off criterion, zero/tare and enter standby mode. During the measurement, the display shows the current temperature, the current heating profile and the active switch-off criterion. The drying process can be cancelled or paused, and the unit of measurement displayed can be switched. After the measurement, you can print the measurement report, edit the GLP parameters and view the result in detail.
According to Kern, the user interface is available in six languages (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, PT). The instrument automatically tares when the lid is closed. The last measured value remains on the display until it is overwritten by a new measurement.
Drying, accuracy and report
According to the data sheet, two heating profiles are available: standard drying and rapid drying. The drying process ends automatically, by timer or manually. Reproducibility is 0.05 % with a 10 g initial weight and 0.18 % with a 2 g initial weight. The USP minimum initial weight is 200 mg, and the settling time is 4 s.
The instrument prints out GLP data internally: balance ID, project ID, user ID and the values determined during the drying process. This is an instrument function, not an external certification. Printing is carried out via the RS-232 interface to a printer. Weighing is performed using a force-compensated weighing system, and adjustment is carried out using an external weight. 20 g (E2) is recommended.
Set-up
The plastic housing measures 215 x 345 x 235 mm (W x D x H); the instrument has a net weight of approx. 4.8 kg. The weighing surface has a diameter of 100 mm. The power supply unit is built-in (220 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz); connection is via an IEC power cable. The moisture analyser is designed for an ambient temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C and relative humidity of 45 % to 70 %.
Typical applications
- Plastic granules, for which Kern states in the data sheet that the instrument is particularly suitable
- Food and agricultural industries
- Environmental analysis and water management
- Research and development
