Quickly test cathode powders and other advanced materials: In batteries, it has never been more critical to get the best quality product to market. Whether intended for an electric car, a smartphone, or a smoke detector, the quality of any battery will depend on how accurately its moisture content is controlled. Computrac can help. Computrac can quickly provide moisture-specific and total solids content results in a manner that does not depend on operator technique. In addition to instruments based on the loss-on-drying principle, Computrac offers a reagent-free alternative to Karl Fischer titration which is ideal for testing moisture in cathode powders and other advanced materials.

If you produce or consume biomass fuels, you know that quality is critical to your success, and you know that moisture and ash content control are critical to biomass fuel quality. Too much moisture and you get poor efficience and high emissions. Too much ash and you get fouling and slagging. And if either of those is uncontrolled, purchase contracts can fall through. Computrac can help.

If you make a living on chemical reactions, you know that accurate moisture, solids and ash content control is critical to a successful reaction. Whether your product is organic or inorganic, flammable or flame-retardant, exotic or commoditized, Computrac has an instrument that will help you make your process more productive, more reliable, and more profitable. The Computrac line of instruments can provide primary measurements for solids content, ash content, total volatile content, and water-specific moisture content, all without reagents and independent of operator skill.

Optimize processes and deliver consistent quality. Maybe you’re serious about snacks. Or nuts about nuts. Maybe you’re all about oils. Or perhaps baked goods are your bread and butter. Whatever the case, you know that accurate moisture control is critical to the success of your food products. The Computrac® family of moisture analyzers will enable you to quickly obtain reliable, repeatable moisture content results, independent of operator skill.

If you work with gypsum, you know how crucial moisture measurement is to making a high-quality product. Computrac® understands; that’s why Computrac has been the de facto industry standard for moisture measurement in gypsum for decades. The Computrac MAX® 4000XL will provide accurate results quickly for free moisture, bound moisture, and gypsum purity. If you need even more information about your gypsum, the Computrac MAX® 5000XL can even determine the residual paper content of recycled wallboard. Whatever your needs, the Computrac® family of moisture analyzers will enable you to quickly obtain reliable, repeatable moisture content results, independent of operator skill.

A Chemical-Free Alternative to Karl Fischer. Accurate control of moisture in lubricating oils is critical to keeping your most important machines in optimal condition, but historically there have been few good options for  measuring moisture content. The “crackle test” is easy, but not accurate enough to keep modern machines running at their best. Karl Fischer titration is very accurate, but difficult to use, expensive to operate, and requires hazardous chemical reagents.

Moisture content analysis for medical devices has never been easy. The resins are sophisticated and very expensive, the customers are demanding, and a minuscule cosmetic defect can mean the difference between thousands of dollars of saleable finished goods and scrap. When working with the complex, high-volatile-content materials that make up modern medical devices, every part per million counts, and every gram of resin counts. That’s why Computrac designed the Vapor Pro XL.

Safely analyze solvent- and non-solvent-based coatings. Your customers rely on your paints and coatings to keep their assets safe from their environments. You can rely on Computrac® to provide accurate, reliable readings in minutes on solids and ash content for your products. Computrac Moisture, Solids and Ash analyzers can be used in ASTM method D7323-06, and can be correlated to other test methods, including D2369, and D5095. Further, Computrac® is the ONLY rapid loss-on-drying analyzer with Nitrogen Purge capabilities to minimize the risk of product flashing.

Durable, reliable analysis for black liquor. Black liquor is a difficult substance to work with. It’s caustic, it’s toxic, and it emits poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide. But the efficient use of black liquor is critical to the profitable operation of any pulp and paper mill. In order to use black liquor efficiently, you need to test it for solids. Make sure your solids analyzer is up to the task.

Accurate results for tablets, granulations, and lyophilized samples. Accurate moisture control in pharmaceuticals is critical to maximize shelf life, tableting performance, and API effectiveness. When it comes to moisture, trust Computrac, the leader in the field for over 30 years. The Computrac line of moisture, solids and ash analyzers is precise enough for the lab, rugged enough for the production floor, and flexible enough to handle nearly any application.
