CEM Smart 6

Fastest dry matter analyser on the marketRepeatable, reliable and accurate results in a few minutesMeasures moisture, solids and volatiles regardless of sample typeResults to LIMSExtensive maintenance and support services from Hosmed

CEM Smart 6 is the most technologically advanced rapid solids analyser available. Smart 6 analyses any sample up to 10 times faster than a conventional solid analyser, and it is equally suited for measuring moisture content, solid content and volatile content alike. For example, a sample with 5% solid content can be analysed in only three minutes with CEM Smart 6, while a halogen drying system would take 15 minutes to analyse the same sample. Furthermore, the analysis temperature of Smart 6 is 100°C, while the temperature for halogen dryers is 180°C.

Features

CEM Smart 6 is a dual-frequency rapid drying system that is suited for measuring solid and moisture content at both production plants and quality control laboratories. The low frequency waves heat up the sample rapidly and evenly from the inside, which separates free moisture. Meanwhile, higher-frequency waves help remove the moisture bound to the sample, also allowing for higher drying temperatures, when necessary. A single system can be used for reliably analysing dry powders and polymer pellets, as well as mixtures with a higher moisture content, such as pastes or food. The CEM Smart 6 rapid drying system is easy to use and has many applications, including food, animal feed, paint, coating and adhesives. Analysis of any sample takes only a few minutes.

The latest system version also pays attention to the users of previous Smart systems: The Smart 6 can also be used with classic methods, which makes the solids analysis results fully consistent with the results from older CEM systems.

The solids analyser based on microwaves dries the sample rapidly from the inside. Thank to this, the samples do not form a film when they dry (compared to IR and halogen drying systems), which helps achieve quick and extremely accurate results.
