TimberScan
Automated moisture measurement for solid wood up to a thickness of 50 mm
The TimberScan measures the moisture of solid wood such as: timber, solid parquet and veneer up to a thickness of 50 mm. It can be installed into the production process of such materials and continuously measures the moisture content of the product.

The measuring system consists of an open probe, cabinet and terminal. The product to be measured is fed in a non-contacting manner through the gap of the probe.
Every product passing through the electromagnetic field changes the characteristic of the field which is then analysed. Unlike conventional methods with transmitter and antenna with this new concept, consisting of a combination of transmission and resonance methods, the measuring signal continuously penetrates the product. A very intense coupling between field and water molecules in the product arises, which leads to a very high sensitivity and measurement accuracy of the water content . The measurement method works without heating the product and is independentfrom density as well as thickness of the product. The characteristics of the method are contactless measurement, low calibration expenditure, high measurement accuracy and excellent long-term stability.

Advantages

  • inline measurement
  • exact measurement due to high water selectivity
  • independent of density, weight and thickness
