Zusammenfassung:	A filter cake analyser (1) is disclosed. The analyser (1) may include a probe (7) configured to extend into a path of filter cake (6) (or other material) and convey a sample amount of filter cake (6) from a catch basin (9) to a probe discharge (11). 5 A sample cup (17) of an indexable cup assembly (16) is filled with the sample amount of filter cake (6). A rotational actuator (22) supporting the cup assembly (16) indexes the cup assembly (16) between three cup assembly positions. A dryer (15) of the filter cake analyser (1) dries the contents of the sample cup (17), and a load cell (28) intermittently engages and disengages with the cup assembly (16) 0 via an actuator (26) to obtain dry and wet mass measurement values to calculate moisture content of the sample amount of filter cake (6).
