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 Ethernet TCP/IP 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-ETH is primarily deployed in the wood-based panel industry, specifically integrated into the forming lines of particleboard, MDF, and OSB manufacturing plants. Positioned immediately before the continuous press, the gauge monitors the mat density distribution to ensure uniform material spread and prevent localized thickness variations that could lead to press damage or board defects. By providing real-time feedback on mass distribution, the system enables automated control of the forming station, which optimizes raw material consumption and minimizes waste during the production of high-density fiberboards or structural panels. Its ability to interface with moisture analyzers further allows for the precise calculation of dry mass, which is essential for maintaining consistent mechanical properties and meeting strict quality standards in high-speed industrial board production.
