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 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-RS-ABE is primarily deployed in the wood-based panel industry, specifically integrated into the forming line of particleboard, MDF, and OSB production facilities. By monitoring the mat density profile before it enters the continuous or multi-opening press, the gauge allows for real-time adjustments to the spreading heads, which minimizes raw material waste and prevents board defects caused by uneven mass distribution. Its ability to operate in conjunction with moisture analyzers makes it essential for manufacturers aiming to calculate precise dry mass content, ensuring consistent board quality and structural integrity. This system is critical for high-speed production environments where maintaining strict weight tolerances is necessary to optimize resin consumption and meet final product density specifications.
