Uneven material distribution, glue lumps, superdense fibre lumps and other foreign bodies within fibre, chip or OSB mats can cause material accumulations of high density which cannot be compressed to the adjusted panel thickness by the press. Such superdense zones may cause irreversible damage to the steel belts of continuous presses, especially when producing thin panels.
In cooperation with the press manufacturer Dieffenbacher, GreCon developed the so-called DIEFFENSOR, which is able to detect all metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies of high density in fibre, chip or OSB mats, such as glue lumps, superdense fibre lumps or plastic and aluminium parts, which are not identified by usual metal detectors or magnets. With the DIEFFENSOR, the steel belts of continuous presses can be, for the first time, effectively protected against permanent damage through non-metallic foreign bodies of high density.
Technology:
The DIEFFENSOR is positioned directly before the press inlet, only separated by a diversion gate which removes the sections of the mat that were found to be defective from following production processes in time.
Components:
The investment in such a protective device will pay off by the prevention of a single steel belt exchange.
including visualisation of the weight per unit area over the entire mat width
The second function of the DIEFFENSOR is the permanent visualisation of the weight per unit area over the entire mat width. In this way, the material distribution can be improved by adjustment of the spreading facilities. Thus, an optimum use of material and energy is achieved.
