Basis weight measuring instrument MATCONTROL C

X-raydigitalfor continuous casting

The Weight Per Unit Area Measurement System GreCon MATCONTROL C ensures a high product quality while the use of raw material and energy is optimised. The properties of particleboard, MDF and OSB board depend on the exact spreading of the mat. The main goal of using a MATCONTROL C is the optimisation of material consumption. A heavy board is still acceptable to the end customer, but the material and production costs are much too high for the manufacturer. A board that is too light has only poor quality properties. The Weight Per Unit Area Measurement System MATCONTROL C monitors the material distribution of loosely spread or pre-pressed wood based mats. Graphical and numeric representations enable the operator to adjust the forming process to achieve consistent panel quality while the use of material and energy is optimised. Benefits at a glance •Optimisation of material consumption •Monitoring of material distribution •Fast traverse movement - quick and strip-wise measurement of the cross profile to quickly intervene in the production process •Measurement of the longitudinal profile for detection of systematic distribution failures lengthwise/crosswise •Automatic calibration with homogeneous test samples for best quality of measured values •Complete visualization as on-site operation via TOUCH (server) •Use of different measurement modes •Operating system independent Measuring method The continuous monitoring of the mat distribution across the production prior to the main press ensures an optimum production flow. Belt tracking caused by imbalances in the mat can be prevented.
