The SMART 6 is the most technologically advanced microwave moisture analyzer in the world for rapid moisture / solids analysis. The system utilizes a combination of microwave and infrared to rapidly analyze moisture and solids in any product. This patented dual-frequency drying energy source provides the most rapid and complete drying available, for the widest range of sample types.
Features
- Up to 40% faster (as compared to SMART 5 Turbo)
- Analyze both dry and wet products on one system
- Compact and lightweight for easy at-line placement
- Direct loss on drying measurement
- Utilizes AOAC approved methodology: 985.14, 2008.06, PVM 1:2004
Dual-Frequency Drying
Analyze wet and dry samples with unmatched speed.
Dual-frequency drying is an innovative process based on a combination of microwave and infrared energy sources controlled by an intelligent processing system. The low frequency microwaves penetrate the entire sample and rapidly remove volatiles through dipole rotation, while high frequency infrared energy evenly heats the surface and removes non-polar components through molecular vibration. This prevents burning and incomplete drying, which can arise from single frequency based Moisture Analyzers. The result is a direct method for virtually any sample type, with faster drying than traditional microwave and infrared-based systems.
Intelligent Temperature Control
Accurate and repeatable results come standard.
When using infrared temperature sensors, stray infrared irradiation can negatively impact sample temperature readings. The SMART 6 has a unique design to avoid stray light and provides highly accurate temperature control of samples. By automatically adjusting power to maintain the temperature setpoint, the risk of burning samples is reduced, and more accurate and repeatable results are obtained.
Preinstalled Method Library
Ready-to-use methods are one touch away.
A simple touch is all it takes. Leave method development behind with SMART 6 One Touch Technology. A library of ready-to-use methods is ready for download to test virtually any sample type.
Bringing a new product online is simple with SMART 6, with little or no method development required for most samples. Different facilities within an organization can use the same method to generate the same results across the board.
Simplicity
Simple steps to run any sample.
- Tare pads
- Add sample
- Press start
Sample Types
The use of dual-energy drying (microwave coupled with infrared) in the SMART 6 provides the capability of analyzing moisture/solids in any sample type, wet or dry. Listed below are matrices in which dual-energy drying has shown to offer benefits over single energy source (i.e. microwave-only or infrared-only) systems. This list is meant to provide a glimpse of the SMART 6’s versatility and capabilities and is not exhaustive. Please contact the CEM Process Control Support Team if you do not see your specific matrix of interest listed. CEM’s skilled team of chemists can provide previously developed robust methods or CEM offers full method development services if one is not available. Simply send us your sample and we will take care of the rest.
