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 H1 BUS 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-H1 weight per unit area gauge is deployed primarily in the wood-based panels manufacturing sector, specifically integrated into particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, and oriented strand board production lines. Installed directly ahead of the continuous or multi-opening hot press, the gauge monitors the raw, unpressed mat to detect density variations and mass irregularities across the web. By utilizing a traversing or stepping scanning motion over the moving mat, the system provides real-time profile data that allows operators to optimize mat formation and prevent pressing defects such as blows or thickness anomalies. Furthermore, combining this X-ray transmission measurement with downstream moisture analyzers enables precise dry mass calculation, ensuring consistent board quality and efficient resin utilization prior to consolidation.
