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 Allen Bradley Ethernet 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
The GreCon BWQ 3000-XR-ABE is primarily deployed in the production lines of particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, and oriented strand board manufacturing facilities. It is installed immediately upstream of the continuous or multi-opening press to monitor the mat formation process, ensuring that the material distribution remains uniform before consolidation. By providing real-time feedback on mass distribution, the gauge allows operators to optimize forming station settings, thereby preventing density variations that could lead to structural defects or material waste in the finished panels. Its ability to integrate with moisture analyzers makes it essential for plants requiring precise dry mass control to maintain consistent board quality and reduce raw material consumption during the mat-laying phase.
