FD600 Infrared Moisture Determination Balance

Infrared Moisture Balance: Simple, Reliable, Cost-Effective

An electronic loss-on-drying moisture balance with a 185-watt infrared lamp, drying a 5 to 70 gram sample and reading moisture directly from 0 to 100%. Straightforward timed and continuous operation for routine testing at any skill level.

  • Direct reading: moisture content shown on a clear digital display, no calculation needed.
  • Two drying modes: timed from 1 to 90 minutes, or continuous until the reading settles.
  • Automatic zero-taring: re-zeros every 30 seconds to eliminate balance drift.

Description

Dependable Infrared Loss-on-Drying Moisture Measurement at a Practical Cost

The FD600 paired a 185-watt infrared drying lamp with an electronic precision balance, reading moisture directly by loss on drying on samples from 5 to 70 grams. Timed and continuous drying, automatic zero-taring, and a clear digital display made it a straightforward, cost-effective bench instrument for routine moisture testing in the lab and on the production floor.

Simple, Reliable Operation

  • Direct moisture readout: the electronic balance tracks weight loss and shows moisture from 0 to 100% wet base, with no conversion tables required.
  • Timed and continuous drying: set a drying time from 1 to 90 minutes, or run continuously until the reading settles.
  • Automatic zero-taring: the balance re-zeros every 30 seconds during measurement, removing the zero drift common to electronic balances.
  • Loss on drying: a primary gravimetric method measuring real weight loss across grain, flour, food, chemical, and similar materials.

Service and Replacement

The FD600 is no longer manufactured. The current Kett moisture balance is the FD660 Compact Moisture Balance, Kett’s current low-cost loss-on-drying balance with simple pour-and-push operation. Contact Kett for service options or help selecting a current model.
