CEM Launches New Technology for Moisture/Solids Analysis
(Matthews, North Carolina) September 15, 2015 – CEM Corporation, a leading supplier of process
control solutions, is pleased to introduce the all new SMART 6™ Moisture/Solids Analyzer.
The SMART 6 features two major innovations compared to CEM’s previous SMART 5 system: the ability to
accurately analyze both wet and dry samples and a significant reduction in sample drying times. These
benefits are possible through the development of iPower® technology, which features a patented
multi-frequency energy source for sample drying. As added benefits, the SMART 6 features a state of
the art touchscreen software package with complete statistical analysis and optional IP65
compatibility.
“The world of moisture and solids analysis will never be the
same again. A disruptive new technology called iPower has
changed the game forever,” commented Michael J. Collins,
President and CEO of CEM Corporation. “We proudly
introduce the new SMART 6, the first system to accurately
measure the moisture, solids, or volatile content of any
product faster than any other direct analyzer on the
market.”
The revolutionary iPower technology employs lower
frequency energy to quickly remove free moisture and
pe*****te the sample for fast and efficient heating, while
higher frequency energy helps create a uniform heating
environment to fully remove bound moisture or non-polar solvents. As a result, iPower creates an analysis with unparalleled speed and precision.
One Touch Methods™ further simplify the user experience by offering a library of optimized CEM
methods along with breakthrough new iDri™ technology. iDri is an advanced analysis that can further
reduce test times with results in as few as 60 seconds, less than half of the previously possible test
times using other direct analysis technologies.
“The SMART 6 will revolutionize analysis time for high moisture applications like dairy, meat, coatings
& chemicals by reducing test times by half. It will also expand CEM’s moisture/solids analysis
capabilities to include dairy powders, snack foods, non-polar chemical solvents, low moisture plastics,
and pharmaceutical materials. These applications have been difficult for previous microwave drying
systems, but are now possible with development of iPower,” Collins stated. “Additionally, the drying
time is much faster than IR drying systems which have traditionally served these markets. Never
before has a moisture analyzer been able to offer so much, with the ability to have the fastest testing
and most accurate data for any sample type.”
