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 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-RS-ETH is primarily deployed in the production lines of wood-based panel manufacturers, specifically for particleboard, MDF, and OSB 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 within strict density tolerances before the curing stage. By providing real-time data on weight per unit area, the gauge enables automated control systems to adjust forming stations and spreaders, which directly minimizes raw material waste and prevents board defects such as blowouts or density variations. Its integration with moisture analyzers further allows for the precise calculation of dry mass, which is critical for maintaining consistent mechanical properties in the final panel product.
