When drying a sample with high
moisture content, it is possible to
shorten measurement time by
selecting “quick” drying mode. In
such case, the majority of moisture

temperature higher than set. Only
after some time, the temperature is
lowered to the set value, and
maintained until completing drying process.

filaments operating at full power in the initial
stage of drying process. This mode prevents from
decomposing of substances sensitive to heat by
mild temperature increase in set amount of time
(time interval has to be selected by tests). Mild mode is recommended to
drying samples of leather structure.
