Description
Non-contact online gauge for measuring material distribution (weight per unit area) of wood-based mats (particleboard, MDF, OSB) before the press. Utilizes radioactive source (Americium 241, 300 to 500 mCi). Measuring range: 0 to 40 kg/m² (0 to 8 lbs/ft²). Accuracy: 0.50% 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 deployed primarily in the wood-based panel manufacturing sector, specifically integrated into particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, and oriented strand board production lines. Installed directly above the forming line prior to the continuous hot press, it continuously evaluates the newly formed mat to detect density variations and mass anomalies across the width. By identifying non-uniform material distribution early in the production cycle, the system allows operators to prevent core blowouts, reduce raw material waste, and optimize resin consumption. Furthermore, combining this unit with online moisture analyzers enables precise dry mass determination, ensuring the final pressed board consistently meets strict structural tolerance and weight requirements.
