Automated moisture or moisture/ash determination with a primary loss on drying method for replacing the slow labor intensive, manual air oven method is ideal for most applications in the foods, feeds, and milling products industry. LECO’s cutting-edge thermal gravimetric analyzers, TGM800 and TGA801, are industry leaders in every field and run simultaneously for 10 up to 38 samples! Flexible method setup, automation and hardware capabilities ensure an automated analysis process, requiring only manual measurement of the initial sample weight.
Moisture Content is a key parameter for all food and feed laboratories. It is needed for dry base calculations as well as for the general water content determination. In milk and milk products, the amount of total solids TS is an important parameter. Additionally, dairy products such as cheese require water content analysis for dry base calculations. This webinar gives an overview of automated thermogravimetry system, that analyzes simultaneously up to 16 samples for moisture content.

Several methods of determining moisture and ash content, with a focus on the weight loss on drying method for moisture and the weight loss after combustion method for ash.
Water content in soil and plant tissue is an important parameter that can influence crop growth, yield, and quality. In addition, moisture plays an important role in commerce and storage of food products. Determination of ash in soil can be used to approximate the organic content of the soil.
