MX-53A Moisture Analyzer
Product overview
The Essae MX-53A moisture analyzer is designed for accurate and repeatable moisture measurement across laboratory and industrial applications. Manufactured by A&D Company, Ltd., Japan, it combines a 400 W halogen heater with Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) weighing technology for precise results. Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) promotes uniform heating, while the reverse backlit LCD displays moisture content and drying rate during measurement. With three measurement modes, four heating patterns and storage for 200 programs, the MX-53A supports different sample requirements. Its USB Type-C and RS-232C interfaces also simplify data transfer, making moisture analysis and result management convenient for routine testing.

Key benefits of moisture balance
400 W Halogen heating technology for Fast Drying
The MX-53A features a 400 W halogen heater that heats the sample-pan area to 200 °C in under two minutes, enabling faster drying, shorter measurement times and efficient moisture analysis.
Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) for uniform heating
Secondary Radiation Assist uses heat-conductive glass to distribute heat evenly across the sample pan. It also helps keep the halogen lamp clean, making routine maintenance easier and more convenient.
Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) for high-precision weighing
The moisture analyzer balance incorporates Super Hybrid Sensor technology used in A&D analytical balances. It delivers accurate, reproducible weighing results, even when measuring small sample quantities during moisture analysis.
Soft-close heater cover for safe operation
The soft-close heater cover lowers gently, even when released by the operator. This controlled movement helps protect both the user and the sample during routine moisture measurement procedures.
Real-time moisture content and drying rate display
A reverse backlit LCD continuously displays moisture content and drying rate (%/min) during measurement. Its 17.8 mm main characters provide clear visibility, allowing operators to monitor the drying process.
Preheating function for consistent measurement
The preheating function warms the sample-pan area before the first measurement, helping stabilise thermal conditions and reduce variations. Preheating duration can be selected for up to 30 minutes.
