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 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 BWQ 3000-RS-H1 is deployed in continuous wood-based panel production lines, specifically positioned immediately ahead of the hot press to monitor newly formed mats of particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, or oriented strand board. By evaluating material distribution prior to pressing, the gauge enables plant operators to detect density variations, mat weight discrepancies, and uneven spreading early in the forming line. This real-time feedback prevents core blowouts, reduces raw material consumption, and protects downstream hydraulic press equipment from localized over-pressurization. Integration with automated recipe management and traverse drive modes allows the system to seamlessly adapt to frequent product changeovers and varying panel formats without disrupting continuous line speeds.
