Description
Non-contact online gauge for measuring material distribution (weight per unit area) of wood-based mats (particleboard, MDF, OSB) before the press. Utilizes X-ray transmission principle (33 kV, 1 mA). Measuring range: 0 to 40 kg/m² (0 to 8 lbs/ft²). Accuracy: 0.25% of full scale (max. 30 g/m²). Process connection: non-contact, measurement spot size approx. 1 cm². Output and power: Communication via NET DDE interface; power supply 230V or 115V AC, 50/60 Hz, 1500 VA. Electrical connection via control cabinet. Certifications: not specified, likely CE compliant. Enclosure: solid aluminium O-frame with integrated drive and precision rails. Materials: aluminium frame, other materials as per industrial standards. Additional options: automatic calibration, three operation modes (cross, stationary, step), recipe management, history database, telediagnostic via modem, can be combined with moisture analyzers IR 3000 WBPi or MWF 3000 for dry mass measurement.
Possible Applications
This gauge is primarily deployed in engineered wood panel manufacturing plants, specifically integrated into particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board (OSB) production lines. It is positioned directly downstream of the forming station and upstream of the continuous or multi-opening hot press to monitor newly formed raw mats. By performing non-contact mass distribution scanning across the moving mat, the system allows plant operators to detect density variations and raw material irregularities before pressing. This early detection prevents costly blistering, delamination, and thickness irregularities in the finished panels, while also optimizing resin and furnish consumption by eliminating overdosing.
