Wood-based panels
need stable measurements.
Moisture determines bonding, press pressure, final weight and dimensional stability. Too high → delamination and drying defects. Too low → strength loss. We measure exactly where it matters.
MDF
Medium-density fiberboard
Typical positions
- Fiber dryer outlet (140 °C)
- Fiber bunker
- Forming machine
- Press inlet
Stop frequency to zero, press yield +1.4 %.
OSB
Oriented Strand Board
Typical positions
- Strand dryer
- Forming machine before pre-press
- Hot press inlet
Constant strand density, less swelling.
Particleboard
Particle and multiplex panels
Typical positions
- Conditioning mixer
- Forming machine
- Hot press inlet
- Sanding line inlet
Bonding hits target, scrap down.
Fiberboard
Hard- and softboard lines
Typical positions
- Fiber bunker
- Press area
- Post-dryer
Constant final moisture at line exit.
Plywood
Veneer plywood
Typical positions
- Veneer dryer outlet
- Bonding inlet
- Press block
Bonding holds, delamination gone.
Glulam
Glued laminated timber
Typical positions
- Inlet sorting
- Bonding
- Press packages
Constant bonding conditions across the shift.
