Wood moisture meter FMI-5

in-line

The FMI-5 inline moisture meter system is a 100% new development with the latest microprocessor and sensor technology. It is the successor of the well-known Brookhuis FMI-3 and FMI-4 inline moisture meter systems. An FMI-5 system consists of an operating panel, 1 or more moisture sensors with a prefabricated sensor cable and a reference board. It can be operated manually or fully automatic by the machine line. Via remote access a fast service is available. The operating unit is available in 4 different models and with 8 different sensor models the FMI-5 ensures that it can be installed in practically every longitudinal or transversal operating machine line. How does it work? The FMI-5 system categories wood into different moisture levels, gives information to reject wood outside the set moisture levels, mark boards, measures real-time to get the boards moisture profile for optimizing and scanner lines to cut out or mark wet spots. This makes the FMI-5 a very versatile system suitable in all known applications. The new FMI-5 sensors measure 500 times per second to detect the smallest wet spots in the fastest production and sorting applications. Each sensor stores calibration data making the system a perfect fit in quality control systems or according to international Standards. The new transversal sensors are more compact compared to the previous models. In case of a replacement of an older Brookhuis transversal sensor, a mounting kit is available so integration can be realized within minutes.
