Microwave sensor PCE-MWM 300P / Continuous moisture measurement in pellets, viruses (variable installation)

In the industrial manufacture of wood chips (MDF, PB, OSB) or pellets, online moisture and density measurement is of fundamental importance, as it allows production processes to be as efficient as possible, energy consumption to be kept low and raw material losses to be minimis

The use of a microwave sensor provides very high quality and regularity in manufacturing, as well as a reduction in operating and maintenance costs (compared to conventional humidity meters).

This means that downtime (inactivity time) is reduced, for example in pressing or drying processes. Material loss is also reduced. All this contributes to the reduction of the microwave sensor cushioning time for pellets and wood panels to a few weeks.

The microwave sensor can be used in the online moisture measurement of many production processes: wood refining, resin treatment, pressing, draining and drying. The microwave sensor is especially accurate in the moisture measurement of wood chips or sawdust, as

The more accurate the moisture measurement in line of the wood processed, the more homogeneous the final manufacture (MDF/OSB boards) will be. Note that the drying process (drying control) is very expensive. It is in this part of the process

Fields of use (manufacturing): Fiber plates (PB, MDF, OSB), sawdust, virutes, wood plates, pellets.
