Moisture Analyzer "MICRO-SCAN"
for particles, fibres and for particleboard or MDF
Data sheet: PDF (114 KB)
Core moisture meter for particles and fibres as well as for finished boards.
MICRO-Scan is a moisture meter working on the microwave principle, capturing the total water content of the product. The system uses the resonance method, whereby the water content is measured by the detuning of resonance (not by warming). The MICRO-SCAN system compensates density variations. Surface texture or colour changes do not affect measurement. Neither do variations of the salt content or mineral compound affect the electromagnetic field.
Function:
- By detuning of the resonance field, the core moisture is captured independent from density variations.
Locations:
- ex dryer
- in the forming line
- on the mat
Options:
- lab applications
- devices with EX-approval (140 °C)
Payback:
- reduced dryer energy and resin consumption
- quality assurance
