High‑Performance Brookfield Moisture Analyzers for Fast, Accurate Process Control
Precise moisture, solids, and ash control is critical for product quality, regulatory compliance, and production efficiency. The Brookfield Moisture Analyzer range from Computrac—available in Egypt through Gemicatech—covers loss‑on‑drying, loss‑on‑ignition, and chemical‑free moisture testing for everything from plastics and gypsum to foods, coatings, oils, and pharmaceuticals. This family includes the Computrac MAX 4000XL, Computrac MAX 5000XL, Computrac Vapor Pro XL, and Computrac Vapor Pro XL Autosampler, each optimized for different moisture analysis needs.
Computrac MAX 4000XL – Rapid Loss‑on‑Drying Moisture & Solids
The Brookfield Moisture Analyzer – Computrac® MAX 4000XL is a loss‑on‑drying moisture and solids analyzer designed to deliver quick, reliable, and accurate results so you can adjust or monitor processes in real time. It helps ensure consistent product quality while minimizing waste, energy use, and man‑hours, making it ideal for research, manufacturing, and lab environments.
MAX 4000XL uses a rugged all‑steel enclosure and a durable nickel‑chromium heating element rated from 25 °C to 275 °C, so it can be used both in the lab and on the production floor. An exclusive rapid‑cooling lid fan cuts time between tests and boosts throughput by about 25% compared to typical rapid LOD systems. The instrument can test materials up to 100 times faster than standard oven reference methods, with user‑adjustable ending criteria (prediction, rate, time, and combinations) to optimize methods for plastics, pharmaceuticals, foods, chemicals, and more.
Multistage testing allows you to link several temperature steps and criteria into one program, which is particularly useful for differentiating free vs bound moisture or handling products with waters of hydration. A menu‑driven keypad interface and large color display show real‑time moisture curves and rate‑of‑loss graphs, while optional web‑server functionality enables remote viewing, audit log download, and transfer of methods and results.
With a moisture range from 0.005% to 100%, dry‑weight range up to 300%, 0.001% moisture resolution, 0.0001 g balance resolution, and repeatability around 0.002% SD (depending on method), the MAX 4000XL provides lab‑grade precision in a production‑ready package. It stores up to 250 test programs plus the last 1000 results and last 100 graphs, and supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and ASTM methods such as ASTM D6980‑17, ASTM D7232‑16, and ASTM C471M‑16.
Computrac MAX 5000XL – Moisture, Solids & Ash from a Single Sample
The Brookfield Moisture Analyzer – Computrac® MAX 5000XL is a moisture, solids, and ash analyzer that can provide accurate readings for both moisture and ash from one sample, offering many thermogravimetric‑style capabilities at a fraction of the cost. With a maximum temperature of 600 °C and sample sizes up to 100 g, it is highly versatile for plastics, biomass, foods, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Its high‑temperature ceramic heater allows both loss‑on‑drying (LOD) and loss‑on‑ignition (LOI), enabling you to determine moisture, solids, and ash content in a single multistage method. The MAX 5000XL shares the same rugged, metal‑cased construction and menu‑driven interface as the 4000XL, providing lab‑quality data both in the lab and on the line. It can test up to 100 times faster than reference methods, with user‑adjustable ending criteria (prediction, rate, time, “reliability,” and combination modes) to tune performance for specific materials.
The instrument stores up to 250 programs and the last 1000 tests and 100 graphs, with statistical analysis (mean, SD, RSD) built in. Moisture and solids range from 0.1% to 99.9%, ash/LOI from 0.5% to 100%, with 0.0001% moisture resolution and 0.0001 g balance resolution, and repeatability on the order of ≤5% RSD for samples above 10% moisture or ash. MAX 5000XL supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and is aligned with multiple standards, including ASTM D6980‑12, ASTM D7232‑16, ASTM C471M‑16, and correlates well with methods such as ASTM D5630, D4574, and E1534.
Computrac Vapor Pro XL – Chemical‑Free Alternative to Karl Fischer
The Brookfield Moisture Analyzer – Computrac® Vapor Pro XL (VPXL) is the next generation in chemical‑free moisture analysis, designed as a modern alternative to Karl Fischer titration. It provides moisture‑specific analysis that correlates well with KF, but without hazardous reagents, fragile glassware, or intensive maintenance.
VPXL covers a moisture range from 10 ppm (0.001%) to 100%, with 1 ppm (0.0001%) resolution, making it suitable for very dry materials up to high‑moisture products. An upgraded heater with a 25–300 °C range offers fine control across the full temperature span, and stepped temperature testing greatly simplifies method development for complex materials. The instrument uses a color LCD touchscreen with an intuitive, menu‑driven interface, requiring minimal training and ensuring repeatable results regardless of the operator.
It supports multiple vial sizes (most crimp‑top vials from 2R to 60R), allowing you to test hygroscopic samples directly in their sealed vials to avoid ambient moisture pickup. User‑adjustable ending criteria (prediction, rate, time, time‑then‑rate) optimize cycle time and precision, while onboard memory stores up to 250 programs, the last 1000 results, and 100 graphs for later review and statistical analysis (mean, SD, CV).
VPXL is 21 CFR Part 11‑ready (optional), and aligns with ASTM D7191‑18 (moisture in plastics by relative humidity sensor) and ASTM D7546‑15 (moisture in lubricating oils and additives by RH sensor), as well as correlating with several Karl Fischer‑based methods such as ASTM D6304 and others. For laboratories that need KF‑level sensitivity without chemicals, Vapor Pro XL offers a robust, production‑ready solution.
Computrac Vapor Pro XL Autosampler – Automated, Chemical‑Free Moisture Testing
The Brookfield Moisture Analyzer – Computrac® Vapor Pro XL Autosampler takes the capabilities of the Vapor Pro XL and adds automation for up to 16 samples, each with its own test profile. This makes it particularly attractive where high throughput and unattended operation are essential, such as in large QC labs or contract testing environments.
The VPXL Autosampler provides the same chemical‑free, Karl‑Fischer‑alternative moisture determination—no reagents, no KF glassware, and reduced operator exposure—while loading and testing multiple vials sequentially. Stepped temperature testing, flexible ending criteria, and substantial onboard data storage (programs, results, and graphs) are retained, enabling fully automated method execution and robust audit trails. Its compact footprint makes it easy to integrate beside existing instruments or into automated testing islands, while maintaining high accuracy and repeatability across all loaded samples.
For manufacturers handling large sample volumes—such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and lubricants—the VPXL Autosampler significantly reduces manual labor, improves consistency, and increases throughput without adding chemical overhead.
