Uniform material distribution and subsequent moulding are standard production steps that are used in numerous sectors such as the wood-based materials and mineral wool industries.
Precise control of the continuously flowing material stream is required to ensure uniform distribution. Meaningful measured values are a decisive factor here, which not only determines the quality of the end product, but also potential costs such as complaints, costly system damage or material waste.
The best way to detect irregularities and deviations is by measuring the weight per unit area with GreCon MATCONTROL HF. The mat scanner is the first full-surface measuring system compared to the competition. This means that MATCONTROL HF not only determines the distribution of the measured material over the entire surface, but also with high resolution.
This results in a further advantage: MATCONTROL HF reliably detects foreign bodies, material defects or blowholes thanks to its full-surface measurement.
Weight per unit area measurement
Seamless scan of the material strand
In contrast to comparable systems that measure material flows by traversing and can therefore only map a partial area, MATCONTROL HF scans the material strand in high resolution and over the entire surface. This allows even the smallest differences in the basis weight distribution to be detected - even at high production speeds. This gives producers a clear picture of how the material is distributed both transversely and longitudinally in the running process.
