Fast, Accurate Moisture/Solids Analysis

Rapid, precise tests, leading-edge engineering, user-friendly software and durable construction make the award-winning SMART System5 the wise choice for moisture/solids analysis.

Make quick on-line adjustments for process and quality control with rapid, accurate moisture/solids results from the SMART System5.

This remarkable system has a number of patented features designed to make moisture/solids analysis trouble-free. The temperature feedback system controls the microwave energy to maintain a user-defined temperature setpoint for verifiable temperature control and repeatable conditions for every test. Incoming line voltage is also monitored and fluctuations normalized, providing consistent results unit-to-unit and site-to-site.

The SMART System5 can analyze a variety of samples including solids, powders or slurries (0.1% - 99.9% moisture). The user-friendly software provides pre-programmed methods and help screens to guide the operator through a test. The SMART System5 is ideal for process and quality control, as well as testing raw materials, intermediate and finished products.

  • Precise measurement (0.1 - 99.99%) of liquids, solids and slurries
  • Store 100 methods and up to 300 results
  • Performs statistical analysis of the process including:
    -average of results
    -standard deviations
    -minimum/maximum range
  • Unique octagonal cavity that directs microwave energy more effectively
  • Built-in air shield controls airflow and provides a stable environment for accurate balance readings
  • Durable - Use on the processing line or in the laboratory
  • User-friendly software guides the system’s operator through tests
  • Software available in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German

Intelli-Temp™ Temperature Control

Continuous feedback during the drying process eliminates sample burning. Microwave power is automatically adjusted to maintain the user-defined temperature setpoint.

Microwave Power Control

This SMART System feature adjusts the microwave energy based on incoming line voltage, normalizing fluctuations and providing repeatable test conditions. Eliminates unit-to-unit and plant-to-plant variations.

Continuous Weighing during Drying

Constant monitoring during drying allows the SMART System5 to determine the precise time a sample is dry, ensuring complete dryness and an accurate result. Eliminate operator-to-operator variation.

"Dual Monitoring" of
Temperature and Weight

By monitoring both the sample temperature and weight loss, the SMART System5 provides correlation to other temperature-based methods. "Dual Monitoring" allows easy methods development by enabling the user to input the temperature of the standard method and drying to a constant weight (as required by standard oven test procedures).

Versatility - TSS, TVSS, % Ash,
Fat and Protein

The SMART System5 can perform a variety of tests including wastewater applications. When combined with a Trac System or the FASY, the SMART System can provide fat and protein results.

Intelli-Temp™ Calibrator
Fine-tune your temperature feedback
system in minutes!

  • Calibrate the SMART System5 temperature controller to maintain optimum performance
  • Easy-to-use
  • NIST traceable
  • ISO procedures

The Intelli-Temp Calibrator heats to precisely 130 °C and maintains that temperature while the integrated software calibrates the temperature sensor in the analyzer. It takes only minutes to keep your SMART System in the best possible operating condition.

Bar Code Reader


  • High resolution scanner for UPC codes
  • Scan sample identification numbers quickly and accurately
  • Ideal for laboratories with a heavy workflow

Scan UPC codes for samples quickly and easily with the handheld Bar Code Reader. Integrated software stores sample numbers and test results.

Consumables Kit

Includes 5 air shields, 1 balance stem, 1 balance pan, 5 rolls of printer paper, and 5 black printer ribbons

Sample Pads


CEM sample pads consistently provide the test accuracy and precision demanded by your Process and Quality Control Laboratory. We manufacture our sample pads in a controlled environment to avoid excess moisture, which can cause erratic and inconsistent numbers. Our pads are tested to ensure they meet strict requirements for absorbancy, moisture content and mechanical strength. CEM sample pads can be used in a standard convection oven, infrared balance or other microwave laboratory systems to reduce overall drying time. Our pads are designed to hold a variety of sample types including solids, liquids and slurries. CEM sample pads are approved to be used with AOAC Methods and are manufactured according to ISO-9002 standards.

CEM offers

  • an automatic replenishment program
  • yearly contracts
  • volume discounts
