MC 4000 ADVANCED IN KILN MOISTURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

Wagner Electronics introduces its newest moisture measurement system, the MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln System. Utilizing state of the art electro-magnetic wave technology the MC4000 includes the most recent innovations for in-Kiln moisture measurement.

The MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln Moisture Measurement System enables the kiln operator to monitor the moisture content of each charge and develop consistent drying time schedules for improved kiln performance and reduced operating costs. The MC4000 will cut costs due to degrade and overdrying and improve grade recovery to help increase the bottom line.

• Displays moisture content of lumber above and below the fiber saturation point
• Provides moisture content measurement for kiln temperature ranges of 70o – 300o
• Large sensing zone to obtain average moisture content between sensors
• Minimizes or eliminates inefficient manual hot checks therefore reducing labour costs
• Automatic kiln shutdown and shutdown alarm based on the moisture content level within 1% MC
• Open architecture integrates with virtually any computerized kiln controller

Moisture Content (MC) Management Systems - Pre-Planer

Wagner's new System 750M220 enable you to increase your average MC coming out of the kiln.  By measuring every board coming out of the kiln, comparing it to your target average MC and dropping out too-wet boards for re-drying, an investment of a little inconvenience and additional labor returns BIG dollars in higher grade recovery.  Info-Pak Plus™  for Windows NT.™ tracks the MC of every board back to the exact location, date and time it was dried and provides archiving and reporting.  The Solution to raising average MC.

Moisture Content (MC) Management Systems - Post-Planer

Wagner's new System 750D146 detects every wet spot exceeding your target average moisture content (MC) and marks it for you QC staff.  (Available with Info-Pak Plus™  for Windows NT.™ ) The Solution to wet claims.
