Mass flow of wood chips or bark

In order to optimise boiler operation, the amount of fibres that are fed into the tank needs to be controlled. By using a radiometric belt weigher, the mass flow of wood chips or bark can be measured by means of contactless technology.

Measuring the mass flow of wood chips or bark

The main advantage compared to conventional weighing systems is that the radiometric belt weigher does not need to be recalibrated and provides reliable results during many years of operation. The system can be installed on on all conveyor types, e.g. belt conveyors, drag chain conveyors and screw conveyors. Installations on existing boiler feeding lines are easily feasible.
