Features
Non-contact, moisture/density sawmill meter for sorting green lumber before kiln drying
Digital pulse capacitive technology takes multiple readings per board and reports average or peak
Laser distance sensors compensate for vertical board movement or warp as the board passes over the sensors
Optional high-speed temperature sensor and reference sorting parameters
Proprietary background suppression eliminates sensor drift; sensor calibration not required
Assigns a ‘dry-ability’ index number (DIN) for sorting into four groups and the optional paint system marks each board for easy visual identification
Benefits
Increases kiln productivity by up to 15% and decreases moisture content variation after drying up to 2%
Maintains consistent sorting year-round – even with frozen wood
Capable of measuring boards at up to 250 lugs/min and passing sort decision to PLC
Painted loads allow for optimal kiln charges to be built by fork lift operators
Software monitors production for daily shift reports and allows access to historical data
Non-contact sensors minimize maintenance requirements and maximizes up-time

Line Speed: Max 250 lugs/min
Operating Temperature: -5ºC to +40ºC
Moisture Content Range: 6-100%
The industry-leading moisture/density sorter groups green lumber into four categories, each with similar drying characteristics to help realize kiln productivity improvements and a reduction in the standard deviation after drying. Employing high-speed temperature and distance sensors, the system applies algorithms to maintain sorting through all conditions. Proprietary background suppressions means sensor calibration is not required. Intuitive software shows sorting results and the number of boards in each group to better coordinate drying scheduling.
