Our continuous non-contact area-weight Scale determines the panel weight and its distribution during production by measuring the area-weight and by taking the known panel dimensions into account.

Continuous Thickness Measurement avoids Waist of raw material and energy Production of panels which exceed plus tolerances results in an increase in production cost. This also results in consumption of additional (unneeded) glue and war material while also extending the press time. EWS thickness measuring systems which are located after the hot press help to optimize the process and to reduce the costs while, at the same time, assuring the quality standard. If the gauges are located in the sanding line, the service life of the sanding belts is shortened and the quality is assured.

Two advantages respectively two measuring functions based on x-ray technology are combined in one EcoScan NEO system. This is a “High Precision Area Weight Measurement” of the fiber mat and a “Foreign Body Detection”. Each measuring function can be created as a separate measuring system (stand-alone).

The laboratory density profile measuring system DENSE-LAB X determines the density distribution over the sample thickness (perpendicular to the panel surface) on small samples with the usual dimension of 50 x 50 mm². The measurement is non-destructive and non-contact using X-ray technology.

Finding out the unrealized potential through the use of weight per unit area gauges. One of the most vital factors in the production of wood panels is the constant spreading of material. If tolerances are exceeded, higher material and energy consumption are the consequences. MASS-SCAN X, which constantly moves back and forth across the mat before it enters the hot press, maintains tolerances within the optimum range. The result is homogeneous forming in lengthwise and crosswise directions.

Blow Detection on very thick and low-density boards for a blow detection ultrasound penetrates the boards continuously. If the signal has a big drop on the receiver side a blow will be displayed. The thicker the board and the lower the density the earlier the system limitation is reached. Thanks to a so-called “Power-Sonic-Resonance” method this limit of the ULTRA-SCAN measuring system is expanded considerably. The ULTRA-SCAN systems can be equipped with thickness function easily.

Non-contact measuring of particle and fiber moisture. Multi-wavelength infrared light is used which is targeted to, and reflected by the material surface. A certain wavelength of infrared light is absorbed by water molecules, thus more or less weakened. The weakened signal is compared to the unweakened signal. The resulting values indicate moisture content. Measuring can also be effected through a glass window. If moisture is monitored at different locations within the production process, valuable information will exhibit for optimization of the process.

The exact adjusted moisture content of particles or fibers is not only a precondition for producing good quality panels but also it reduces the energy consumption of the drying process, the risk of fire and explosion will be decreased, the blending and pressing process will be optimized. The laboratory system QUICK-LAB allows quick and precise analysis of moisture content of samples of the raw material.

Material savings are achieved through accurate panel weight control Too-high panel weight is a result of too-high material input. Too-low panel weight will reduce panel quality. EWS supplies robust weighing systems of high accuracy. The data will be shown on a digital display or on a PC monitor. PANEL-SCALE also will automatically evaluate the board density by incorporating the data from the thickness gauge THICK-SCAN.

Blow detection systems automatically detect blows, bursts, and unglued areas during the production of wood composite panels. They send inaudible ultrasound through the panels and can be deployed in harsh production environments, such as dust, steam, and high temperatures. The systems are automatically calibrated in the panel gaps. Dirt deposits and temperature drifts are automatically compensated.
