i-Thermo Moisture Balances

Supplied By: BEL Engineering, Italy

Why the i-Thermo Moisture Balances?

Adopting two microprocessors, one for controlling all functions of the balance and the other for total control of the furnace heat, BEL Engineering came to realize the ideal equipment for moisture determination of raw materials and finished products in the food, cosmetic, dairy, pharmaceutical, chemical, ceramics and construction material industries etc.


The philosophy to adopt two microprocessors in their Moisture Balances enabled BEL Engineering to introduce in the market a product with high performance at competitive cost. The i-Thermo Moisture Balance is the right choice since it provides great quality at competitive prices.

Application of Moisture Balances

The amount of moisture in a product can greatly affect the perceived quality of the product. Therefore it is important for manufacturers to test the moisture content present in the products they produce. The simplest, most accurate, and the cheapest method to measure the moisture is to use Moisture Balances.


Moisture Balances are perfect for measuring moisture in almost any product such as grains, pharmaceutical products, chemicals, foods, cosmetic products etc. The Moisture Balance consists of a weighing mechanism which weighs the sample that needs to be tested for moisture content. The Moisture Balance stores the weight data. The sample is then heated for a particular set of time using the Halogen – Infrared lamp. The heat causes moisture in the sample to evaporate thus lowering the weight of the sample. This difference in weight reflects quantity of moisture in the sample. The final reading is in percentages.
