The 3D PARTICLE VIEW is a measuring unit for the obective assessment of the particle quality. The particle thickness is an important parameter for the mechanical characteristics of finished particleboards.
The ratio of particle surface to volume is the decisive parameter for the effectiveness of glue application.
Both parameters depend on the adjustment of the knife ring flaker and change through wear of the knife protrusion in the knife ring.
Benefits
Measurement of entire particle geometry (length, width & thickness)
Specific adjustment of the knife protrusion of the knife ring flaker
Reduction of material loss by screening thanks to a specific change of the knife ring flaker
Saving glue by reduction of the fine contents
Remote support with GreCon SATELLITE
Specific optimisation of the particleboard's mechanical characteristics by producing the "optimal" particle geometry.
Measurement method
The particles to be measured that are taken preferably directly downstream to the knife ring flaker are measured by specially matched vibratory conveyors and automatically placed on the measuring conveyor belt. The conveyor transports the particles into the measuring area where the length, width and thickness (height) of the particles are measured by a line laser including a camera unit.
