Abstract
A drying apparatus includes a built-in precision balance for determining the moisture content of material to be weighed. The apparatus includes a weighing dish for receiving the material. The weighing dish is connected to a load-receiving member of the measuring cell of the balance. A heat source is arranged above the weighing dish for heating the material. During drying, the weighing dish is located within the housing. The weighing dish can be moved in and out of the housing for charging and weighing-in of the material.
