Abstract

A dryer mounted in a housing includes a precision balance arranged in the housing for determining the moisture content of material to be weighed which is placed on a weighing dish and is subjected to heat radiation from a heat source of the dryer. For making the material to be weighed accessible, the precision balance can be moved in and out of the housing. A duct for conducting an air flow is mounted between the weighing dish and the load-receiving unit which supports the weighing dish and is mounted above the measuring cell of the precision balance.
