Moisture Content substantially affects product and quality characteristics of engineered wood panels. For example, MDF panels can only be accurately sanded at a certain moisture content. HDF panels also need a narrow moisture range for optimal bonding between substrate and overlay. In general, varying moisture content in wood panels will affect the inherent stability and lead to cupping of the panel. The MoistureLab gives a fast and reliable measurement of moisture content at the surface and in the sample core. With only a few sample measurements, the technician is informed about the moisture content of the entire panel, without special sample preparation. Wet and dry weight measurements of the wood fibers, particles, and chips are not necessary. A drying process, which lasts several hours, is also not necessary. The first step to accurate moisture measurement begins by using the TFT touch screen. Wood fibers, particles and chips measured and the accurate value is displayed, then the samples are ejected. The MoistureLab is easy to use and contains a multiplicity of measuring features, such as calibration, evaluation functions, historical database, and product codes. Due to its solid design, the measuring instrument is suitable for both the laboratory and for application in production. This system will optimize the parameters in your production process without time delay, and thus, reduce costs and avoid interruptions. In addition, the amount of work and expenditure of time are minimized—providing a vital economic advantage. Download PDF |
