AQUALAB 3 One-minute total moisture content analyzer.

Master moisture content and loss on drying. The key to food manufacturing success lies in moisture and drying. The AQUALAB 3 total moisture analyzer measures precise moisture in a fraction of the time.

One-minute analysis

Depending on the sample, measuring water activity (aw) can take up to 2-5 minutes—even longer for coated products, products high in fat, or volatile compounds. With the AQUALAB 3 total moisture content analyzer and SKALA-powered predictive AI, readings on a single sample take just one minute.

Precise and reliable

Most fast moisture content measurements are inaccurate. AQUALAB 3 delivers 10x the accuracy of the average moisture balance. Precise, reliable readings allow tighter moisture specs, helping improve yields without over-increasing safety margins.

Total control

Poor moisture control can profoundly impact revenue potential through failed batches and rework. Get predictive indicators within 60 seconds to adjust parameters like belt speed, temperature and water content — before the issue. Fast, precise measurements help ensure moisture control at the line.
