The FD100 paired a 280-watt ceramic sheathed heater with an electronic precision balance, reading moisture directly by loss on drying on samples from 5 to 70 grams. Stable ceramic heat and a fast-drying mode dried a broad range of materials quickly without scorching, with selectable wet-base, dry-base, and solid-content readout.
The FD100 is no longer manufactured. The current Kett moisture balance is the FD720 Universal Moisture Balance, a compact benchtop unit with programmable drying programs and data output. Contact Kett for service options or help selecting a current model.
