For 30 years, the Aquatrac has been the measuring instrument for residual moisture content in solids for the plastics processing industry. It has a robust and compact design and can be easily transported due to its well-known mobility. Therefore, there are many possibilities for direct use at the production site, for example in:
- incoming goods inspection
- Monitoring and optimization of granulate drying
- Measurement of the granulate at the machine/machine hopper
- Measurement on the finished part, e.g. after conditioning or final inspection
- Laboratory measurement
As an absolute measuring instrument, it does not require adjustment for different substances. It can be used independently of a PC or other peripherals.
The measuring method used is the recognized calcium hydride method, which has been used at Brabender Messtechnik for over 30 years. Since 30.04.2019 the measuring method of the AQUATRAC-V is described as method E - determination of water content by the calcium hydride method, in DIN EN ISO 15512:2019 "Plastics - Determination of water content".
