Moisture measuring instrument MOISTURECONTROL IR

non-contactinfraredprocess

Wherever precise product moisture is required, the inline moisture analysers provide the users with the necessary information. The continual availability of product properties allows for easy adjustment of the production process to ensure a high product quality standard. For the production of wood based panels, the moisture content of the material used is of utmost importance. Chips and fibres must be neither too wet nor too dry. If they are too wet, reductions in panel quality and slower production speeds will occur. If they are too dry, energy is wasted. The same applies to glued material. Benefits at a glance •Avoid faults produced with wrong moisture •Non-contact measuring system •Measurement of chips/fibres within bins/screw conveyors through a glass pane •Best quality of measured values due to 7000 measurements per minute •The measuring system is pre-calibrated •Check of the system‘s stability by Auto Reference Standard (ARS) Design of the system The Moisture Analyser MOISTURECONTROL IR consists of a non-contact measuring head and a Human Machine Interface (HMI) for calibration and parameterisation of the moisture analyser. The HMI is installed near the measuring head where it is also used as an external display in the measuring position. This arrangement makes reading of the measured moisture values easy when taking samples for laboratory measurements. By using a glass pane, it is possible to measure the moisture of material flows in enclosed conveying systems. The measured values can be transferred to a higher-ranking process control system via a network connection to display the values in the control station.
