Wood Products

Process Sensors Corporation Transmitters are used routinely in various locations in the manufacture of panel board products. These locations include incoming green wood, blenders, dryers and forming line. Moisture is always measured. Resin and wax can also be measured at the same time.

Generally, a Transmitter is located after the dryer. The Transmitter is often placed over a conveyor, usually at a distance of about 12 inches from the product.

When installing a Sensor, it is important to keep environmental temperature in mind, especially after oven outlets. If the temperature is above 60°C, it may be necessary to cool the Transmitter with air or water.

Calibrations for most wood products have already been determined by Process Sensors Corporation so that the Transmitter is delivered pre-calibrated. Typical accuracies are ± .2 for moisture and higher for resins and wax.
