Transverse HD Sawmill Meter
MC PRO 1500 HDNC
Finna Sensors built the Transverse HDNC Sawmill Meter to increase the number of potential sensors from 8 to 24. The sensors can now be specified to fit within chain runs and can be located on both the top and bottom faces. This significant increase in surface area allows mills to identify sapwood/heartwood boundary areas or wet pockets for proper sorting prior to kiln drying. Sorting by moisture content has been shown to improve drying productivity by 10% to 15%, as well as, enhance lumber recovery. Further advancements in the software allow users to track packages through the drying process, add Internet of Things (IOT) data and perform advanced analytics with new reports.

Transverse Planer Moisture System
MC PRO 2400
Maximize grade recovery with Finna Sensors' highly accurate transverse planer meter. The most widely-adopted transverse sensor system acts as a dropout or easily integrates with auto graders. Integration via ProTrac software, with barcode or manual tracking, provides advanced kiln analysis and drying reports.

SMART III RF Probe
Finna Sensors’ Smart III RF Moisture Probe is appropriate in those situations where NIR use on conveying systems/web applications or RF flat plate sensor use on board type products are not sufficient. Examples include tanks, bins, barrels, drums, Super Sacks™, silos, etc. These applications require a probe type moisture meter where the probe is inserted into, and is surrounded by product. Since the probe generates a 3 inch diameter radio frequency field around the length of the probe, a significant volume of product is measured. As the product is slowly removed from the silo, and refilled from the top, it passes by the RF Probe, thereby providing a constant real time moisture measurement. Typical applications would include starches, distillers and brewers grains, granulated chemicals or food ingredients, whole grains such as corn kernels, rice, soybeans, tree nut stockpiles, etc.

Inline Planer Moisture System
MC Pro 2500
Maximize grade recovery with SCSFP’s highly accurate lineal planer meter. A full moisture map of each piece ensures you are properly tracking moisture content at the planer. The system easily couples with lineal auto graders for moisture content handoff. Integration via ProTrac software, with barcode or manual tracking, provides advanced kiln analysis and drying reports.

product
Densigrader: Dynamic Weight Sorter
The Densigrader: Dynamic Weight Sorter is made for on-line mass/density measurements and sorting of green lumber prior to drying. The accurate mass and optional volumetric measurements provide an increase in grade recovery and kiln productivity. Its small footprint fits easily into most transverse, lugged transfer chains. System employs either RS232 or TCP/IP protocols to hand off data to sorting PLC.

Precigrader: Acoustic MSR System
Precigrader is an acoustic on-line strength grading system. The system is installed in more than 150 mills. It is used to determine common commercial grades in North America, including 1650 and 2100. A spring-loaded impact mechanism strikes the lumber as it passes. The resulting vibration is captured by microphones to determine the appropriate MSR grade.

Handheld Moisture Meters
Since water has a dielectric constant considerable higher than any other material, even a small amount of water in a product will cause the combination dielectric constant to increase substantially. Finna Sensors' capacitance meters can easily recognize this increase in water content and are programmed to display the result in direct reading percent moisture content.

On-Line Moisture Meters
Many methods are available for measuring moisture content on line, in real time: NIR, RF Capacitance, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), and Microwave, among others. Finna Sensors is unique in that it has experience with most of these methods and is therefore able to recommend the best possible solution for any application.
