1 Inline Moisture Measurement with Microwave Technology

2 Your Benefit Inline Moisture Measurement with Microwave Technology Wherever precise product moisture is required, the inline moisture analyzers 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 standard of product quality. The moisture content of the material used or produced is of utmost importance because it must be neither too wet nor too dry, independent of the application. nnextremely fast and precise moisture measurement nnno influence by color and form of the material to be measured nnindependent of density nnlong-time stability nnfast and early detection of troubles nncontact () or non-contact ( VS) measurement, depending on the customer s requirements nnnon-contact measurement of endless materials ( VS) nnsuitable for continuous and discontinuous material flows nncontinuous measurement of the moisture content of endless materials ( VS) Technical Specifications Dimensions of measuring head (mm) Product temperature Ambient temperature Microwave power Measuring range Repeating accuracy Product memory XT 300 x 200 x x 200 x 180 EX 230 x 190 x 200 VS 440 x 220 x 210 VS XL 765 x 830 x 360 VS LMS 440 x 220 x C C +3 C C +3 C C +3 C C +3 C C +3 C C 0 C - 40 C < 20 mw 0-18 % atro % max. 32 different calibration curves ATEX approval none none zone 20 none none none Max. material thickness (mm) none none none Way of measurement Material flow Measuring spot (mm) Measuring Temperature Software contact contact contact non-contact non-contact non-contact continuous & discontinuous continuous & discontinuous continuous & discontinuous discontinuous discontinuous continuous x x x 200 ceramic ring ceramic ring ceramic ring slit out of aluminium integrated integrated integrated external pyrometer I- slit out of aluminium external pyrometer slit out of aluminium external pyrometer 2

Series The series measuring systems provide precise measuring results. Measurement is conducted inline, independent of density, surface structure and color of the material measured. by a slit ( VS).

3 Series The series measuring systems provide precise measuring results. Measurement is conducted inline, independent of density, surface structure and color of the material measured. by a slit ( VS). The non-contact measuring method is suitable for both continuous ( VS) and non-continuous ( VS LMS) material flows. Interfaces Due to the deep penetration of the microwave field/signal into the product, the water, which is physically bound, is determined by the s detuning and attenuation of the frequency of resonance. Measurement is done either by contact of the material with the measuring head/ () or in a non-contact way The systems provide analog outputs (4 to 20 ma) for the visualization of moisture content and tempera ture as well as for data transfer to a PLC/software. Furthermore, they are equipped with digital outputs for alarming upon exceeding of limiting values as well as digital inputs for measurement control. 3

Service GreCon measuring systems are equipped with GreCon online support SATELLITE. This provides safe, simple and fast remote support when there is trouble or to check the system.

4 Service GreCon measuring systems are equipped with GreCon online support SATELLITE. This provides safe, simple and fast remote support when there is trouble or to check the system. Each online support is logged and stored in the system s history. Applications of the nnforming Line The use of a moisture analyzer in or after the forming line gives final data about the moisture of the spread chip or fiber mat. Control of upstream processes of chip or fiber processing are possible. nnstar Cooler The finished panels are checked inline for the predetermined moisture values. Thus, it is ensured that the panels are supplied to the end customers with the right moisture. nnfiber Dryer The dried wood fibers can be measured in the drop chute after the rotary valve. nndryer An up to 158 F (70 C) or XT up to 285 F (< 140 C) is preferred in this position. At the dryer outlet, the moisture values can be used to regulate the dryer. 4
