AZI Computrac MAX 5000XL Moisture, Solids / Ash Analyser

AMETEK Brookfield High-Performance Moisture, Solids & Ash Analysis in a Single, Versatile System

ABLE Instruments are AMETEK Brookfield’s Exclusive Partner in the UK and Ireland for the AZI Computrac MAX 5000XL Moisture, Solids / Ash Analyser. The Computrac MAX 5000XL offers increased precision, flexibility, and the ability to test at higher temperatures, making it a powerful tool for accurate and repeatable analysis of moisture, solids, and ash content—all from a single sample. Combining the advanced capabilities of more expensive thermogravimetric analysers at a fraction of the cost, the MAX 5000XL is engineered for both performance and value. With a maximum temperature of 600°C and a generous sample capacity of up to 100 grams, this instrument is highly versatile and capable of analysing a wide array of materials across various industries.

Its high-temperature oven enables the MAX 5000XL to perform both loss on drying (LOD) and loss on ignition (LOI) testing, making it an ideal, cost-effective alternative to pricier lab equipment. Built with a durable metal casing and a robust high-temperature heater, the MAX 5000XL is designed for demanding environments, whether in the lab or directly on the production floor. It offers considerable time savings, testing materials up to 100 times faster than traditional reference methods, and is suitable for a wide range of applications, from plastics and pharmaceuticals to foods and biomass materials.

Features:

• Dual Analysis: Simultaneously measures moisture and ash from a single sample.
• Fast Results: Delivers accurate readings in 30 minutes or less, faster than traditional methods.
• One-Touch Operation: Simplified workflow—no need for intermediate weighing or manual cooling.
• Robust Construction: Durable cast aluminium housing built for lab and production environments.
• High-Temperature Capability: Operates up to 600°C for moisture (LOD) and ash (LOI) analysis—an efficient alternative to TGA.
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Metal chassis and high-temp heater withstand harsh testing conditions.
• Customisable End Criteria: User-defined test parameters for tailored method optimisation.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Live moisture/ash data and graphs on a full-colour display with intuitive navigation.
• Multistage Testing: Run complex sequences with variable temperature, time, and end-point criteria.
• Self-Cleaning Cycle: 45-minute 550°C bake-out simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime.
• Optional Web Server: Remote access to data, calibration logs, and instrument sync functions.

User-adjustable ending criteria enhance flexibility, allowing operators to tailor the testing process to specific materials or performance goals. The intuitive, menu-driven interface features a user-programmable keypad and a large colour display, enabling real-time visualisation of moisture curves and rate-of-moisture-loss graphs during tests. For more complex testing needs, multiple tests can be linked into a single, multistage process that adjusts temperature, timing, and ending criteria between stages—allowing full moisture, solids, and ash analysis from one sample.

Maintenance is streamlined with a built-in self-cleaning oven cycle, which runs at 550°C for 45 minutes. Additionally, an optional web server provides remote access for monitoring tests, downloading calibration reports and results, reviewing audit logs, and transferring programs between instruments—enhancing both convenience and data management capabilities.
