FMI Inline Moisture Meter - from Scott & Sargeant Wood Machinery

FMI Inline Moisture Meter - The FMI is a system developed that determines the wood moisture in the production line contact-free, with a view to sorting or selecting wood.

FMI Control unit
The FMI system consists of a control unit and one or more sensors. These sensors measure wood moisture content while the wood travels past them without making any contact. The FMI can easily measure the moisture content at a speed of 200 planks a minute with systems suitable for transversal transport, or 600 metres a minute with systems suitable for longitudinal transport.

Sensors
Depending on the machine configuration, the following sensor types are available:

- FMI L sensors for longitudinal wood transport
The FMI type L sensor is a sensor through which the wood is transported longitudinally. The moisture measurement takes place along the whole length of the wood.

Photocells detect when the wood enters and leaves the sensor. When the wood leaves the sensor, the FMI calculates the following at high speed:
Minimum moisture content
Maximum moisture content
Average moisture content
