PCE-MWM 300P Microwave sensor / continuous moisture measurement in pellets, wood chips (variably installable/attachable)
In the industrial production of wood pulp boards (PB, MDF, OSB) or pellets, the on-line measurement of the moisture/density of the wood material is essential to ensure that the processes inIn the online moisture measurement in production processes, the microwave sensor is valuable in many process stages: in the refining of wood pulp, during resin treatment, during pressing/dewatering
The more accurate the on-line moisture measurement of the wood pulp and the moisture control, the smoother the end product (MDF, OSB boards) produced from it later on. In addition, the drying process (dryer control) itself is very costly. Thus, there is the greatest savings potential in this area. Too much drying may lead to not only a waste of
Areas of application for the PCE-MWM 300P microwave sensor include fiberboard (PB, MDF, OSB), sawdust, wood shavings, wood lamellae, wood panels, wood pellets and wood chips (incineration). The use of a microwave moisture meter can also be used to effectively control the feed rate when burning wood pellets in industrial furnaces or firing systems.

Please note that we will need further information to provide a final price for supply and fit. We will need to know what materials are to be measured, we will need samples of the material, and we will need a technical drawing showing where the sensor is to be installed. |
