Gas Pressure and Temperature Measurement
The CONTILOG system optimizes the pressing process by measuring gas pressure and mat temperature during hot pressing. It helps in understanding resin curing and optimizing press programs, aiming to reach a core layer temperature of 100 °C quickly to minimize delaminations.

Monitoring and Quality Improvement
Allows immediate detection of optimization effects on product quality, including changes in moisture, glue structure, particle size, and raw density. It also helps in reducing start-up times by checking heat transfer efficiency.

Measuring Procedure

Place the logger in the core layer of the wood-based mat.
Mark the logger's position on the mat edge.
Continuously measure gas pressure and temperature through the hot press.
Synchronize measurements with press inlet and outlet.
Read data wirelessly with a tablet PC.

Benefits

Provides information on resin curing and degasifying behavior.
Reduces start-up times and optimizes press programs.
Facilitates quick recipe adaptations and minimizes delaminations.
Detects influences of upstream processes and verifies new product feasibility.

Why GreCon
Offers precise temperature and gas pressure measurement, safe handling, wireless data transfer, intuitive touch display, and simultaneous measurements.
