For the continuous measurement of glued and dried fibres, the MW 3260 planar sensor can be mounted in the side of fibre silos and in the wall of chutes where it is inclined to allow fibres to flow
Maintaining accurate moisture levels is of prime importance at all stages in the production of pressed board products.
Whether it be in the fibre bins or the pressing lines, incorrect moistures can adversely affect the quality and throughput of the process.
Tews Elektronik produces a range of products for use in either the process line or the laboratory.
In MDF board production it claims considerable success, installing a variety of sensors throughout the production and quality control departments.
In the process line, the formed but unpressed fibres can be measured by placing the 1 on a sliding carriage which sits on the product carpet on the conveyor belt.
The sensor's contact pressure can be adjusted by counter weights.
Sensors can also be placed between the carrier rollers to measure the moisture content of compressed, cut boards both before and after the star cooler.
Once the boards have been produced, quality control departments can also benefit from the accuracy, and non-destructive measurement technique of Tews systems.
An MW3150 laboratory instrument coupled to a planar sensor installed in a table bed enables a fast and efficient method of verifying the moisture content of the finished product.
